Create shapes
You can use the drawing tools in the Titler to create various shapes, such as rectangles, ellipses, and lines. The Titler includes standard pen tools
that resemble pen tools used in Illustrator and Photoshop.
Jon Barrie shows how to use the Titler in Adobe Premiere Pro to create feathered masks in this video on the Creative Cow website.

Select a shape tool.
Shift-drag to constrain the shape’s aspect ratio.
Alt-drag (Windows) or Option-drag (Mac OS) to draw from the center of the shape.
Shift+Alt-drag (Windows) or Shift+Option-drag (Mac OS) to constrain the aspect ratio and draw from the center.
Drag diagonally across the corner points to flip the shape diagonally as you draw.
Drag across, up, or down to flip the shape horizontally or vertically as you draw.
To flip the shape after you’ve drawn it, use the Selection tool to drag a corner point in the direction you want it to flip.
Change the shape of a graphic object or a logo
1. Select one or more objects or logos in a title.
2. In the Title Properties panel, click the triangle next to Properties to expand its list, and then choose an option from the Graphic Type menu.
When you change shapes, the original object anchor points often are lost. To reveal the object anchor points before or after changing
the shape, select the object with the Selection tool.
