Creating titles
Last updated 8/12/2010
Note: The Opacity property setting adjusts the opacity of objects within a title. You can set the overall opacity of the entire
title in the Timeline as you would any video clip, using effects.
Move objects
1 If necessary, double-click the title in the Timeline to open it in the Monitor panel.
2 In the Monitor panel, select one or more objects.
3 Do one of the following:
•
Drag the selected object or objects to a new position.
•
Choose Title
> Transform
> Position. Type new x and y position values, and then click
OK.
•
Right-click the selected object or objects, and choose Transform > Position. Type new x and y position values, and
then click
OK.
Note: The x and y position values correspond to a coordinate system in which the upper- left corner of the title is 0, 0.
When you enter values for x and y, Adobe Premiere Elements places the center of the selected object’s bounding box at
that point.
Scale objects
1 If necessary, double-click the title in the Timeline to open it in the Monitor panel.
2 In the Monitor panel, select one or more objects.
3 Do one of the following:
•
To scale the width, drag the object’s left or right bounding box handles.
•
To scale the height, drag the object’s top or bottom bounding box handles.
•
To constrain the object’s proportions, press Shift as you drag the corner and bounding box handles.
•
To scale and constrain the aspect ratio, press Shift as you drag the object’s corner points.
•
To scale from the center, Alt-drag the object’s corner points.
•
To set scale values in terms of percentages, choose Title
> Transform
> Scale, or right-click the object and choose
Transform > Scale. Specify the values you want, and click
OK.
Note: Dragging the bounding box handles of a text object created with the Type or Vertical Type tool changes its font size.
Rotate objects
1 If necessary, double-click the title in the Timeline to open it in the Monitor panel.
2 In the Monitor panel, select one or more objects.
3 Do one of the following:
•
Place the pointer just outside the object’s corner points. When the pointer becomes the Rotate icon
, drag in the
direction you want to adjust the angle. Shift-drag to constrain the rotation to 45° increments.
•
Choose Title
> Transform
> Rotation, or right-click any of the selected objects and choose Transform > Rotation.
Type a new rotation value, and then click
OK.
