Strength and speed
Text effects have no sliders of their own. They borrow two from elsewhere in Customize → Effects:
- Intensity (under Background effect) sets the strength of text effects too, not only the background effect.
- Text effect speed (under Entrance) sets how fast text effects move. Lower is slower.
