Creating and editing 3D titles
Here are the basic steps for creating a 3D title:
10
In the Timeline panel, start setting keyframes so you can apply changes to the style and movement of the text.
11
Preview your project in the Player panel, adjusting settings and keyframes to get the effect you want.
Experimenting is a good way to learn what is possible in terms of text styles and movements.
To create a 3D title
• In the Library panel, choose the Title > 3D Title category, drag a title to the timeline, and double-click it.
If you want to have more than one text object (so you can apply different properties to letters or words), in the Presets panel, choose Objects > Text Objects, and click a preset thumbnail for each object that you want to add, using the Text Settings box to type the final text for each object. At any point, you can select a specific text object for editing by clicking the object in the Player panel.
3
In Text Settings area of the Settings panel, format the text by using any of the spacing, alignment, font, and size options.
4
To determine the properties for your title in the starting position, in the Timeline panel, click the name of the property that you want to adjust and do one of the following:
• For Position, Orientation (Rotate), and Scale (Resize), drag in the Player panel or for precise settings, type values in the X, Y, and Z boxes on the Timeline toolbar.
If you want to adjust the Texture, Bevel, Lights, or Camera settings for the title, adjust the settings in the corresponding area or in the Presets panel, choose presets from Scene and Object Style. These settings do not have keyframes.

In the Timeline panel, set any additional keyframes (for example your end point keyframes), and set the properties you want for each keyframe.
