Tip: You can use keyframes to change global attributes in a design. See Animate objects with keyframes for details.
Transform the position, rotation, and scale of objects
In the Transform section, click the Position, Rotation, or Scale slider or arrows, or double-click the value and enter a new value, to change the object's appearance.
Tips
- Click the Lock
button next to the Scales settings if you want adjust the X, Y, and Z axes simultaneously and preserve the object's aspect ratio. - Click one of the Reset
buttons to reset one or all of the settings in the Transform section to their default setting.
Set transparency
Click the Opacity slider or arrows, or double-click the value and enter a new value, to change the object's transparency value.
Hide objects
Mark the Hide Shape or Hide Paragraph checkbox to hide a selected object, which can help you focus on other aspects of a graphic or group of objects.
Isolate layers
Mark the Isolate Layer checkbox to isolate an object in a composition and prevent the object from cutting into other objects in the design.
Note: Isolated objects render separately from other objects, which takes longer to render the design.
Render effects inside a paragraph box
Mark the Clip to Paragraph Box checkbox to limit the render area of effects to within the boundary of a paragraph box.
Adjust margins
When the Clip to Paragraph Box checkbox is marked, click the Margin slider or arrows to change the clip margin.
Adjust the width of columns
Click the Column Width slider or arrows, or double-click the value and enter a new value, to change the amount of tabbed spacing between columns of text.
Tip: To create two columns of text, enter the first line of text for the first column, press TAB, then enter the first line of text for the second column on the same line. Repeat this method for each line of text. Titler Pro will format the tabbed spaces to create consistent spacing between columns. Alternatively, you can also create a separate text document with a tabbed space in each line of text and then copy and paste the text into Titler Live.
