Select the rotation tool
and drag any object in the direction you want.
Choose Title > Transform > Rotation, type a new Rotation value, and click OK.
Enter a value for Rotation in the Title Properties panel, or expand the Rotation category heading and drag the angle
control.
Distort an object or multiple objects
1
Select the object, or Shift-click to select multiple objects.
2
In the Properties section of the Title Properties panel, click the triangle next to Distort to show its X and Y options.
Adjust the X value to distort the text along the x axis. Adjust the Y value to distort along the y axis.
Note:
Distort affects an entire graphic object’s horizontal (X) or vertical (Y) aspect. However, it affects each character in
a text object individually.
Fills, strokes, and shadows in titles
Set a fill for text and objects
An object’s
fill
property defines the area within the contours of the object. Fill specifies the space inside a graphic
object, or within the outline of each character of a text object. You can fill an entire object or individual letters of type.
Note:
If you add a stroke to an object, the stroke also includes a fill (see “
Add a stroke to text or object
” on page
269).
1
Select the object you want to fill.
2
In the Title Properties panel, click the triangle next to the Fill category and select the box next to the Fill category
to set an option. Some options include:
Fill Type
Specifies whether and how color is applied within the contours of text or graphic object.
Color
Determines the color of the fill. Click the color swatch to open a color picker, or click the eyedropper to sample
a color from anywhere on the screen. Color options vary according to the Fill Type specified.
Opacity
Specifies the fill’s opacity, from 0% (transparent) to 100% (opaque). Set the opacity of an object’s fill color to
set the opacity of individual objects in a title. To set the opacity of the title as a whole, add it to a track in the Timeline
above another clip. Adjust opacity as you would for any other clip.
Fill type options
Solid
Creates a fill of uniform color. Set options as desired.
Linear Gradient or Radial Gradient
Linear Gradient creates a linear, two-color gradient fill. Radial Gradient creates a
circular, two-color gradient fill.
The Color option specifies the beginning and ending gradient colors, which are displayed, respectively, in the left and
right boxes, or
color stops
. Double-click a color stop to choose a color. Drag the color stops to adjust the transition
smoothness between the colors.
The Color Stop Color option and the Color Stop Opacity option specify the color and opacity of the selected color stop.
Click the triangle above the color stop you want to define and adjust as necessary. The Angle option (available for
Linear Gradient only) specifies the angle of the gradient. The Repeat option specifies the number of times to repeat the
gradient pattern.
