THE PRESETS SELECTOR
Quickly setting up an attractive title is easy with the Title Editor’s
Presets Selector. After entering your text, and with the text layer still
selected, apply any of the preset Looks to it with a single mouse-
click. To make it even easier, as you hover the mouse over any Look
icon, the Edit Window previews the effect on your title of applying
the Look to the current layer.
Even if you can’t find exactly the Look you want among the presets,
you can often save time by starting with one that’s almost what you
want, then tweaking it in the Look Settings subpanel.
The Presets Selector, with the Looks tab selected. Clicking the
name of one of the listed preset families opens a pop-down tray of
icons.
To give your title some visual impact, there’s nothing like a bit of
animation. Click the Motions tab of the Presets Selector. The three
groups of presets available correspond to phases in the life of a layer.
The Motion presets are categorized by the role they play in
introducing the layer, displaying it, or removing it from view.
As with Looks, Motions can be previewed as they will appear in
your title by hovering the mouse over any of the preset icons. Once
your mind is made up, you can apply the chosen Motion with a
single click.
