Set a fill for text and objects
An object’s fill property defines the area within the contours of the object. Fill specifies the space inside a graphic object, or within the outline of
each character of a text object. You can fill an entire object or individual letters of type.
Note: If you add a stroke to an object, the stroke also includes a fill (see Add a stroke to text or object).
1. Select the object you want to fill.
2. In the Title Properties panel, click the triangle next to the Fill category and select the box next to the Fill category to set an option. Some
options include:
Fill Type Specifies whether and how color is applied within the contours of text or graphic object.
Color Determines the color of the fill. Click the color swatch to open a color picker, or click the eyedropper to sample a color from anywhere
on the screen. Color options vary according to the Fill Type specified.
Opacity Specifies the fill’s opacity, from 0% (transparent) to 100% (opaque). Set the opacity of an object’s fill color to set the opacity of
individual objects in a title. To set the opacity of the title as a whole, add it to a track in the Timeline above another clip. Adjust opacity as you
would for any other clip.
Fill type options
Solid Creates a fill of uniform color. Set options as desired.
Linear Gradient or Radial Gradient Linear Gradient creates a linear, two-color gradient fill. Radial Gradient creates a circular, two-color gradient
fill.
The Color option specifies the beginning and ending gradient colors, which are displayed, respectively, in the left and right boxes, or color stops.
Double-click a color stop to choose a color. Drag the color stops to adjust the transition smoothness between the colors.
The Color Stop Color option and the Color Stop Opacity option specify the color and opacity of the selected color stop. Click the triangle above the
color stop you want to define and adjust as necessary. The Angle option (available for Linear Gradient only) specifies the angle of the gradient.
The Repeat option specifies the number of times to repeat the gradient pattern.
4-Color Gradient Creates a gradient fill composed of four colors, with a color emanating from each of the object’s corners.
The Color option specifies the color that emanates from each corner of the object. Double-click a box at any of the corners to choose a color for
that corner.
The Color Stop Color option and the Color Stop Opacity option specify the color and opacity of the lower-right corner. To select a color, do one of
the following:
Click the Color Stop Color palette to open the Color Picker. Then, select a color.
Click the Color Stop Color eyedropper, and click any color on the screen.
Bevel Adds a beveled edge to the background. Balance option specifies the percentage of the bevel that the shadow color occupies.
Eliminate Specifies that no fill or shadow is rendered.
Ghost Specifies that the shadow is rendered, but not the fill.
Eliminate and Ghost work best with objects that have shadows and strokes.
Add a sheen
Add a sheen to any object’s fill or stroke. A sheen resembles a streak of colored light across the surface of an object. You can adjust a sheen’s
color, size, angle, opacity, and position.
1. Select the object.
