Use PinPoint to select an image file.
The CG application applies the fill to the characters in the text block.
Note:
•
For iTX to be able to play out text with a textured fill, the required image must be in the
location it is in when you create the CG.
Edit CG text
Once you have entered text in a CG text block, you can edit it and change its properties.

Click EDIT to open the text editor; enter the new text; click OK to close the text editor.

Apply a crawl to CG text
Crawling text moves from right to left in a text box before disappearing.

Select a text block.
2.
Select a group number that is not given to any other object.
3.
Select Crawl (the button indicator displays a green light).
4.
In the Repeats box, enter the number of times you want iTX to play the crawl; 1 for once, 2
twice, etc. Enter 0 if you want iTX to repeat – or “loop” – the crawl while a CG event is on
air.

If you want to offset the starting point of the crawl from the right edge of the text block,
drag the Crawl start position slider.
The number on the slider shows the amount of offset in pixels; the maximum number is
limited by the size of the text block.
