OK, this is pretty basic :
A. Write a word in your scene
B. Select it with the arrow tool and press F8. Select Movie Clip. You’ll be able to scale it and use it as an image, and not text.
C. Go to frame 10 in your timeline, and press F6. This will create a frame there, identical to the first one. Select the text in the 10th frame.
D. 2 possibilities : One of the last buttons on your left (1 big square, 1 small and an arrow) will change the scale. Or open the transform panel, check constrain and put 200 or more in the box.
E. Right-Click in your timeline between frame 1 and 10 and choose Tween Motion.
F. Press Ctrl+return.
There you go.
