Operation Manual

Chapter 10: The Title Editor 181
When the object has the size and proportions you want,
release the mouse. Whatever its type, the object is
created with the specified dimensions.
Its other attributes – color, shading,
shadow, etc. – are determined by the
currently selected look in the Title
Editor Album. All attributes can later
be changed at will.
After the object is created, the object tool you used
deselects, and the selection arrow again becomes active.
The object itself is selected – shown in the usual way
by its control points – and can now be manipulated
with the mouse.
Reordering objects in three dimensions
Because objects can overlap
one another, it is easy to get
into situations where an object
that should be completely
visible is partly or wholly
obscured by one or more other
objects. In such cases, use the
four reordering commands on the Title Editor’s Layers
menu. These commands affect the currently-selected
object, symbolized by rectangle “3” in the diagram.
• Bring to Front: The object is moved out in front of
all other objects. In the diagram, object 3 is now in
front of object 1.
• Send to Back: The object moves behind all other
objects. Object 3 is now behind object 5.
• Bring Forward One Layer: Object 3 now lies in
front of objects 2, 4 and 5, but is still behind object 1.
• Send Back One Layer: Object 3 is now behind
objects 1, 2 and 4, but is still in front of object 5.
