80 Chapter 6 Working With Objects, Textures, and Imported Elements
Working With LiveType Objects
Objects in LiveType are graphical elements with an alpha channel, designed to frame or
emphasize text. Most of them are animated and, much like LiveFonts, can be sized,
rotated, colored, and stretched. You can add a shadow, glow, or an extrusion. And you
can apply effects to them.
Objects placed in the Canvas are represented as tracks in the Timeline, like any other
titling element.
To add a LiveType object to the Canvas:
1 Click the Objects tab in the Media Browser.
2 Browse the categories of objects displayed in the Category pop-up menu, and select an
object in the Name column of the Objects tab.
3 Click the Apply To New Track button.
The object appears in the Canvas, and a corresponding track appears in the Timeline.
