When “Fill with” is set to Texture, the following Texture parameters appear in the Face group
(open the disclosure triangle to see them):
Parameters in the Inspector
•
Image: Drag an image, movie clip, or other object into this image well to apply a texture
source. See
Use the texture Image well on page 641.
•
Frame: When using a movie or image sequence as the texture source, use this slider to specify
a start frame for the texture.
•
Hold Frame: When using a movie or image sequence as the texture source, select the Hold
Frame checkbox to freeze the frame specified in the Frame parameter. The selected frame is
used as the texture for the text object’s total duration.
•
Offset: Adjust these value sliders to specify the X and Y values of the position of the source
texture (relative to the text object). If the object applied to the image well is visible in your
project, adjusting the Offset parameter does not reposition the object.
•
Wrap Mode: Use this pop-up menu to specify how the edge of a texture is treated when
the texture is offset and appears cut off in the text, or when it is too small to fill the text it is
applied to. There are three menu items:
•
None: The texture remains transparent beyond the edge of the source image. This is the
default mode.
•
Repeat: The texture source is repeated beyond the edge of the source image.
•
Mirror: Beyond the edge of the source image, the texture source is reflected like in a
mirror—duplicated, tiled, and reversed to encompass the full width and height of the text.
Note: Texture parameters respect filters applied to the source image but ignore transforms
applied to the image. For example, if the image used as the source texture has a glow filter
applied, the glow appears in the text’s texture. However, if the image used as the source texture
is scaled or moved, or if the image contains applied behaviors, the result of these transforms
does not appear in the applied texture.
