Create text styles

Right-click the text in the Program Monitor and select Edit Properties to view its properties in the Properties panel.

Edit the text properties:

• Text: Select the three-dot icon to open Text panel, open advanced Effect Controls, or browse Graphics Templates.
• Appearance:
  • Fill: Fill your text with any desired color.
  • Stroke: Add Outer, Inner, or Center strokes to text, or add multiple strokes.
  • Shadow: Add shadows or multiple shadows to a shape to create numerous interesting effects.
  • Mask with Text: Create a text layer that acts as a mask, revealing underlying video or graphics only within the shape of the text.
• Align and Transform: Align text by its top edges, vertical centers, bottom edges, left edges, horizontal centers, or right edges.
• Linked Style: Use linked styles for titles and track styles for captions to efficiently preserve parameters such as font choices and appearance within a designated style.
• Responsive Design – Position: Design your graphics to automatically adapt to changes in the video frame aspect ratio, or to the position or scale properties of another graphic layer.

Once done, select the plus icon at the upper-right corner of the Track style menu and select Create style.

Name your style and save it. You can select Save to Project to link the text layer to the style, and it will show up in the dropdown. It will also create a project item in the Project panel. If you select Save to Local styles, it will save the style to a local folder, which can be reused in future projects through the style browser.

The new style appears with thumbnails in the Track style dropdown list. You can then apply that style to other text layers in your project.
