text melting

[RJ Johnston]

Cinde,

I wonder if what I call curved text is the same as what you call arcs.

From last year on the Adobe forum I posted the following:

For your convenience, I have listed the title templates that I found to have textboxes with curved baselines that you can copy and paste into your own titles. The curve control points seem to be permanently locked, but you can still drag the other control points. There are different curve shapes in the bunch. Pressing Shift-Backspace will delete the character to the left.

Entertainment -- Retro TV

General -- ComicBook
General -- Ladybug Picnic

Movie Genre -- Musical

Travel -- Beach Resort

Wedding -- Romantic

4) Don't put curves on DVDs. (Look at commercial DVDs - they don't tend to do that)

Chris, I vote for suggestion 4) That's exactly what I have been doing.

Clay, blufftitler is on my wish list.

RJ, General Comicbook title is soooooo close, maybe I can tweak it a little.

Cinde, You can tweak it to the way you want it. You may have to press CTRL-Spacebar to put spaces in front of the text so it moves to the desired part of the curve. You can also use the kerning tool to do the same. You can also rotate it.

Cinde, You may notice that you can't type certain letters. I think any letter that is assigned to a keyboard shortcut won't work with those arc textboxes. You'll have to type the text into a regular textbox and then copy and paste.
