Working With Objects, Textures,
and Imported Elements
Titling compositions often center around words, but all
kinds of additional elements are used to frame, enhance,
and accompany them.
For the purpose of this manual, these elements fall into three categories:
 Objects included with LiveType
 Textures included with LiveType
 Static images and movies originating from other sources
All of these elements are modified and moved around in the Canvas in the same way.
They do not rest on a linear track, as text does, unless you add multiple, identical
objects to a track (see “
Creating Strings or Stacks of Elements ” on page 84). Instead,
when selected, they display a bounding box, like a single character selected on a text
track. At the upper-right and upper-left corners of the bounding box are scale and
rotation handles.
