Simple Text Animations

First start with what ever size canvas you want and make the background color what ever you want (you cannot have it transparent if you want the background to be invisible on the forums make the background 44, 44, 44)
Next add your text and add a glow to the text then in the animation tab create 3 new layers

Now go to the middle layer and hide the glow

Now go the first animation layer and click "tweens animation frame" place any number you want (the bigger the number the slower the change) I did 5
go to the second last animation layer and click the button again. I did 5 again

Now to save this file you need to go to File>Save for Web & Devices
You're done
Things you can also do are instead of hiding the glow add a gradient map to change the color and do the same exact thing I said except hide the gradient instead of the glow.
