Changing the Speed of Text Behaviors
When a behavior from the Text Animation group is added to a text object, the behavior
spans the duration of that text object. However, most behaviors from the Text Sequence
group are much shorter than the duration of the text object.
For example, with the Awaken In behavior selected, the duration of the behavior is much
shorter than the duration of the text object to which it is applied. You can see this in the
mini-Timeline or the Timeline.
You slow down or speed up the animation by changing the duration of the behavior.

behavior bar.
