Mixed formatting in a title

Postby Briantho » Sun Sep 11, 2011 5:57 am

Within PPro I mix all sorts of fonts within a scrolling title but I'm wondering if there is a way of mixing, say, combinations of left, right and centre justification and maybe Tab Stops? What I'd really like to do is to make a particular justification and tab stops only apply to sections I highlight as can be done in a word processing document. I know I could create a series of titles and overlap them so it appears as if it is one single long title but that involves juggling with lengths so as to make all sections scroll at the same speed. Thanks in advance for any ideas.

If the title is going to be that creative Brian you might want to create it in Photoshop :)

Thanks for that Chuck but I'd really prefer to stay with the one tool. I'll work around it, no big deal.

alignment (justification) applies to a text box as a whole. You can't select a portion and change the alignment of just that portion.

However, there is nothing that prevents you from adding multiple text boxes to a title and each of those can have its own separate justification.

Yes, thanks Bob, I'd sort of worked out the limitations so I wondered if there were any neat ways of getting round them without creating multiple boxes and balancing lengths/speeds. No problem, it's only the titles and as long as they see their names etc they're pretty happy :-)

Did you mean multiple boxes in the same title or multiple titles?

I meant adding multiple boxes in the same title, not multiple titles. When you create multiple text boxes in the same title and position them, they maintain the same relative positions and the roll/crawl options apply to the title as a whole.

Bob, many thanks for making that distinction. I now realize I have total flexibility and my titles bear comparison with major Hollywood productions! Thanks again.
