Applying styles to text and graphics
About styles
Adobe Premiere Elements includes a number of styles for use in titling, which you can apply to text, graphics, or both.
Each of these contains predetermined values for such attributes as font, stroke, color, and drop shadow.
A default style is applied to every graphic and block of text you create. You can change this style by selecting one of the
provided styles or by modifying the default style.
You can save a combination of color properties and font characteristics as a style that you can then apply to any text
or shape element in your title. You can save any number of styles. Thumbnails of the styles appear in the Text Styles
section in the Tasks panel when the Monitor panel is in title-editing mode. Your custom styles appear among those
provided so you can quickly apply your custom styles across projects. You can change the style thumbnail from Aa to
any two characters you want in the Style Swatches preferences (Edit > Preferences > Titler).
Right-click a style to quickly access options from a context menu.
