Ivan187 Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 If you can add outlines and shadows on simple text clips, then why can't you do the same for animated text clips/titles? That would be cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c_major Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Yes, they should be added to the text style options. At the moment, you can create shadows by insert a copy under the original one and then blur it and change it to the shadow color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nationalsolo Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Hi The animated titles unfortunately can't be given outlines like the simple text lines. Using Bold for a second identical overlay text or changing the font size by one step won't work but a "pseudo" outline can be created as shown below by using an identical title in a contrasting colour very slightly displaced on Video Track 2 (red) with the normal animated text (black) on Video Track 3. In this example the yellow background is on Video Track 1.... An outlined shadow can be created for the animated text by using another identical text (a third overlay) that has the same colour as the outline but displaced a little further and slightly blurred using the effects under FX..... (This is a frame from the "Wave" animation.....Background on Track 1; "Shadow" on Track 2, "Outline" on Track 3 and black text on Track 4).... But probably the best "shadow" can be made by simply using the main text on Video Track 3 with a blurred and displaced animated title under it on Video Track 2 and the background on Video Track 1. The "Shadow" can be placed to simulate illumination from any direction . Here the light is coming from top left.... Provided each track is lined up so the animations start simultaneously the total effect is quite good. Nat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan187 Posted December 4, 2017 Author Share Posted December 4, 2017 I don't wanna use the Shadow or Blur video effects because then the video takes FOREVER to render. Thanks for the suggestions though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viraj Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 The animated text's position is in center by default. I am not able to change it. Someone please help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
