Swinging Text Effect

Swinging Text Effect was created by owen35
I've been trying to find a tutorial on how to create the "swinging text" effect in Motion 5. It's a fairly common text effect where the object appears to enter the scene by swinging down and then back and forth for a bit. Like a sign that is on two hinges.
I've looked in this forum and on YouTube for a tutorial but cannot find anything for Motion.
Any ideas on how to do this?

Aha! Figured it out. It's a little time-consuming, but once you've got it you can use those keyframes on other text items with similar results.
(Basically, I just rotated the object on its x-axis back and forth and lessened the severity. Also, needed to make sure my anchor point as at the top of the text frame. Little tweaking of the interpolation and easing out to get a nice final swing.)

I have a nice tutorial here for free. It includes making panels and having several of them swing down. Shows how to use a keyframed Oscillate parameter behavior to make it very natural. It may be more complex than you need, but perhaps something in here helps.
