Titling
Last updated 11/6/2011
Cap Type Specifies the type of cap placed at the end of the paths. The Butt option caps paths with square ends. The
Round option caps paths with semicircular ends. The Square option caps paths with square ends that extend half the
line width beyond the end of the line. This option makes the weight of the line extend equally in all directions around
the line.
Join Type Specifies how the ends of adjoining path segments are joined. The Miter option joins path segments using
pointed corners. The Round option joins path segments using rounded corners. The Bevel option joins path segments
using squared corners.
Miter Limit Specifies the point at which the join type switches from mitered (pointed) to bevel (square). The default
miter limit is 4, which means that the join type switches from miter to bevel when the length of the point is four times
the stroke weight. A miter limit of 1 results in a bevel join.
Note: You can apply the options described above to shapes you create with Pen Tool or Line tool. You can apply an inner
or outer stroke to any text or graphic object.
Add images to titles
Use the Titler to place images in a title, such as adding a logo graphic to a title that will serve as a template. You can
either add the image as a graphic element or place it in a text box to become part of the text. The Titler accepts both
bitmap images and vector-based artwork (such as art created with Adobe Illustrator). However, Premiere Pro
rasterizes vector-based art, converting it to a bitmap version in the Titler. By default, an inserted image appears at its
original size.
