ADOBE PREMIERE PRO CS3 222 User Guide Change the font size ❖ Select the text and do one of the following: • Choose Title > Size and choose a font size. • Change the Font Size value in the Title Properties panel. Change text orientation 1 Select a text object. 2 Choose Title > Orientation and select either Horizontal or Vertical. Specify text properties When you select any object in a title, its properties are listed in the Title Properties panel. Adjusting values in the panel alters the selected object. Text objects possess unique properties, such as leading and kerning. Note: Some text properties are not listed in the Title Properties panel. For example, you can set font, font style, and type alignment either in the Titler panel or in the Title menu. The Title menu also includes options for orientation, word wrap, tabs, and inserting a logo into a text box. 1 Select the text object or range of text you want to modify. 2 In the Title Properties panel, click the arrow next to Properties, and set values. Some of the options include: Font Specifies the font applied to the selected text object. To view a font in its typeface, use the Font Browser. Font Size Specifies the font's size, in scan lines. Aspect Specifies the horizontal scale of the selected font. This value is a percentage of the font's natural aspect ratio. Values less than 100% narrow the text. Values above 100% widen the text. Leading Specifies the amount of space between lines of type. For roman type, leading is measured from the baseline of one line of type to the baseline of the next line. For vertical text, leading is measured from the center of one line of type to the center of the next line. In Adobe Title Designer, the baseline is the line underneath the text. You can apply more than one leading amount within the same paragraph; however, the largest leading value in a line of type determines the leading value for that line. Note: To turn the text baselines on or off, choose Title > View > Text Baselines. Text baselines appear only when you select the text object. Kerning Specifies the amount of space you add or subtract between specific character pairs. The value indicates the percentage of character width between the character pairs. Place the cursor at the point where you want to adjust kerning. Tracking Specifies the amount of space between a range of letters. The value indicates the percentage of character width between the specified range of characters. The direction of the text tracking is based on the justification of the text. For example, center-justified text tracks from the center. Adjusting the tracking is useful when your contiguous text has thick strokes that cause the characters to blend into each other, making them hard to read. Adjust the tracking for all the text in a text box by selecting the text box and changing the Tracking value. You can also adjust the tracking between specific contiguous characters by selecting only those characters and changing the Tracking value. Baseline Shift Specifies the distance of the characters from the baseline. Raise or lower the selected type to create superscripts or subscripts. Changing the Baseline Shift value affects all characters. Adjust the baseline shift for all the text in a text box by selecting the text box and changing the value. Adjust the baseline shift between specific contiguous characters by selecting only those characters and changing the value. April 1, 2008
