Advanced text editing features
As in a word processing program, the Title Editor
allows you to format a selected range of characters.
Simply mark an adjacent set of characters with the
mouse and apply the formatting you desire.
Supported operations on character ranges include text
styling (font, style and look), clipboard operations (cut,
copy, paste), delete, and a number of special
positioning, spacing and scaling commands that are
accessible only from the keyboard. For details on these,
please consult Appendix G: Keyboard Shortcuts.
Editing-mode selection buttons
These two buttons form the second cluster
along the bottom of the Title Editor’s Edit
Window. Their function is to govern which of two sets
of editing operations is available for the currently-
selected object.
• The first button is on by default when an object is
newly created. It enables the move, scale and rotate
operations with a selection frame containing nine
control points:
• Clicking the second button enables the skew
operation, which requires only a single control point.
