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 sub.

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.

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.
