Hi guys I hope you're doing very well.
And remember if you have any questions please post them in the Q and A section of the course.
It's very very important that you master text and you feel very confident and very comfortable working
with text and if you have any questions please remember to post them in the queue any section of the
course.
So let's start to always text now.
Of course we need to create a new composition.
You can come to the small button over here.
If you're not in thousands 18 Ortley and you come up you are going to take a standard composition that
will work through in the course of course.
Feel free to change to high resolution if you like too.
But I will work on seven 20:25 which is pretty good for the course.
Fine.
So let's change the composition name and write the text size and then I will leave it 25 frames.
It doesn't really matter because we're not going to animate here.
And the time is five seconds.
Now the background color here I will change it to something that is nice for you.
OK you can see it nicely.
Click OK and then click OK to create the compose.
Right when you're working with text the characters palette and the paragraph panel are very important
and sometimes also the align palette.
Now for the purpose of this lecture I would click on the character palette and take it outside so it's
visible all the time.
We learned that in the previous section I will do the same for the paragraph panel and stick it out
just over here bottom bottom.
I will come over to the correct that Punin and stretch it down so we see everything.
OK here you are not just what's happening in the collected panel before you start putting any text.
Notice the font is Arial is narrow the text size is so big there is so many settings here.
Well this is not convenient to start writing new text merely in a new project.
What I recall meant is you always reset your corrected Panner.
OK please do that because there are some settings here that are very confusing.
So when you reset your character panel it falls to Times New Roman and regular and the font size is
very small.
To me that is start changing this.
If you click on the arrow next to the font name you will have a list of all the fonts you have in your
system.
You can also add some from the type get later on we'll see that.
So I'm going to choose here.
Not just that I have a start on a real meaning.
This is my favorite font and that is the aerial and a sample of it.
If it were on this are or just hit between the start and the aerial you get all the phone stars for
this front.
Let's use for example.
I don't know a regular.
You're now the font size is very small.
The best way to change it is just to click inside so you can edit the number and type for example 100
in lowercase.
Put in the paragraph panel here because he said that if you like but I will leave it to center text.
It's easier to work with center X when I will start adding text is going to use the settings and these
paragraphs settings to text you come to your text to overhear.
If you long click you'll have a reason to type 2 and vote to get type 2.
For now let's stick to or isn't it that so you can come over to your composition viewer here and click
and start typing.
This is one way to do it.
Not as the mouse pointer it is indexed now.
But the nicest way to add text is just to double click on the presenter type to.
Here you are.
So start allowing you to add the text just in the middle of the composition 100 percent sent and then
you start typing the text.
Type motion graphics.
So I type motion graphics here and not just my mouse pointer response pointer means that you are in
the edit mode for the text there.
Take it outside.
You will notice now it's in the move as it moved.
It means I will be able to move the layer but still in the not.
If you click out and start moving the layer OK and then if you release you still in the edit mode.
Now obviously I made a mistake here like a grappler.
I don't know.
So let's correct this mistake.
What you do is just use the arrow keys if you want left and right or simply what I like doing is clicking
and selecting some characters over here OK and typing again the right word.
There would be graphics but I would click outside and position it.
Now you can of course continue editing by positioning the added pointer anywhere you want it you are
and the typing.
More if you like or deleting them with the backspace So now when you finish editing and you're happy
from what you wrote you want to exit the edit mode of this.
There you have a couple of options if you press control enter which I will do.
You will exit the edits movement of this text there but stay in the text tool so you can click anywhere.
Now if you are and start adding more text
now if you're happy from your text let me do a correction here.
If this is all the text that you want to add you don't want the text tool anymore to exit the editing
mode.
You just go for your selection tool.
You can't press V because of course it's your right v.
So you go for your selection tool.
Now you have exited the added mode and also exited the text.
So you can click now and adjust your layers wherever you want them.
I see now after exiting you wanted to edit your text.
My favorite way is to come to the layer.
You this I have the bounding box appearing and I double click it will highlight and select all the text
within the letter pull then I can highlight whatever I want.
OK.
Or even put it in the middle and type more text.
Highlight another text for example and delete it to exit.
Now I have the choice.
I can press control enter or I will go for the selection tool.
So to edit at x day or just double click on it and then you can click anywhere and start editing or
using the cursor left and right and if you like Koum and and and you can edit your text so it's pretty
easy pretty simple.
So now you have learned how to add the text and how to edit the text and how to move the text layer.
So not just what happened in the timeline a text layer has been created.
Not is the Tiefer text there.
And it's actually showing you what you have written and this is the motion graphics text.
If you throw it down a bit you will notice that you have text.
This is the content itself and you have the transform.
This is transformation for any meeting the text layer itself within the text you will have several options
here that we will see later on in the course.
Thanks very much for listening.
I will see you in the next lecture.
