Exercise Five: Creating Text with a Backdrop

In this exercise you will create text with a backdrop using both the Title 3D and Vector Shape
Þlters.

1.

Double-click a clip that you will add to your sequence and play it in the Viewer. The
clip should be about four seconds in duration and will be used as the background for
an animated effect. The illustrations use a black background.

2.

Drag the image from the Viewer to the Canvas. When the Edit Overlay appears,
position the image in the Overwrite section and release the mouse button. The clip
appears in the Timeline.

3.

Choose Boris from the Generator menu in the Viewer. Then
choose Title 3D from the submenu.

4.

The Text window appears. Click in the window and type
“Coming Soon.”

5.

Make any adjustments to the font, text color, shadow and Þll
properties.

The illustrations in this exercise use the
settings shown in the illustration at right:
Denmark font at 60 points with blue Fill
and a Solid Shadow. However, you can use
whatever type of text you like.

6.

When the text appears the way that you
want, click Apply to close the Text
window.
