Adjust object anchor points and curves
The Titler includes tools for modifying existing paths. You can add or delete object anchor points on a path. You can
also move object anchor points, and manipulate their direction lines to change the curve of adjacent line segments.
You can specify not only the path’s thickness but also the shape of each of its ending points. You can also specify its
caps, and its corners, or joins.
