I imagine the most significant for my purpose is Color or Color Properties, but when I open that, everything I choose is reflected in the text itself, not the box surrounding it. I left-click and get various options, more or less mimicking what’s in the Text Adjustments window.
But I can’t figure out how to apply anything to the box itself. I click the arrow at the bottom of the Text Adjustments window and use that to “choose” the text box: it brightens and shows 8 points around its circumference so I’m pretty sure it’s active. I apply the font, fill and stroke colors – all good.īut then it gets problematic: “You need to apply a text Style with a border to either the text itself or, believe it or not, the rectangle you've drawn behind your title in order to color and widen this stroke.” I believe it, I just don’t know how to do it!
I click Style and choose a font that includes a border: “Myriad Bold 60 Medium Border White Black”. I double-click the text box ( "Classic/Default/Default Text"), put it in a video timeline above the clip, double-click, and get the Adjustments options on the right.
I also assume it isn’t critical which of the text boxes I choose, just that the Style includes a border. I make an edit, then to add “a border (stroke) to your text, you need to first go to the Style tab on the Title Adjustments panel…” I assume that means the right-side panel and the “Text” tab. Okay, I’ll go through it step by step and hopefully you can show me where and how I’ve screwed up.
