For information on using Texture controls, see Text Texture-Related Tasks.
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.
Texture controls allow you to adjust subparameters. If you use an image sequence or
movie as the text’s texture source, you can specify the start frame for the texture, or hold
a single frame for the texture. You can also adjust the position of a texture that is applied
to text so it is offset in the text but not repositioned in your project. If an image used as
a texture is cut off, you can specify the edge behavior of the texture.
When “Fill with” is set to Texture, the following Texture parameters become available
(open the disclosure triangle to see them):
Image: Use this image well to apply a texture source. Drag an image, movie clip, or other
object into the well.
