Working With LiveType Textures
Textures in LiveType are colorful animated patterns that can be used as full-screen or
partial backgrounds, or as animated fills when used with the matte function, described
in Chapter 5, “
Working With Text ,” on page 57. Textures are versatile, and can be
transformed in the same ways an object is transformed, particularly if the texture is
reduced in size to take up only a portion of the Canvas.
To add a texture to the Canvas:
1 Click the Textures tab in the Media Browser.
2 Browse the categories of textures displayed in the Category pop-up menu, and select a
texture in the Name column of the Textures tab.
3 Click the Apply To New Track button at the bottom of the Textures tab.
The texture fills the Canvas, and a track appears in the Timeline, just above the
background bar.
Textures available in the Media Browser
