Adding fills, strokes, and shadows in titles
About object properties
You can apply custom properties to each object or group of objects you create, and save a combination of properties
as a style. Styles appear as buttons in the Title Styles panel. Use styles to maintain consistency across multiple titles
in a project.

Set a fill for text and objects
An object’s fill property defines the area within the contours of the object: 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 ” on page 234).
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% (completely transparent) to 100% (completely 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 and adjust its opacity as you would any clip’s.
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.
