To create a drop shadow
Add drop shadows to any object you create in the Titler. The various shadow options give you full control over color,
opacity, angle, distance, size, and spread.

2
In the Title Properties panel, select Shadow.
3
Click the arrow next to the Shadow option to set any of the following values:
Color
Specifies the shadow color.
Opacity
Specifies the shadow’s level of transparency.
Angle
Specifies the angle of the shadow in relation to the object.
Distance
Specifies the number of pixels that the shadow is offset from the object.
Size
Specifies the size of the shadow.
Spread
Specifies how far the alpha channel boundaries of the object are extended prior to blurring. This is particu-
larly useful on small, thin features such as cursive descenders or ascenders on typeface, which tend to disappear if
you apply a significant blur.
Working with styles
About styles
Once you’ve applied a combination of color properties and font characteristics to a text or shape element in your title,
you can save this combination, or
style
, for later use. You can save any number of styles. Thumbnails of all saved styles
appear in the Titler Styles panel, so you can quickly apply your custom styles across projects. Adobe Premiere Pro
also includes a set of default styles.
By default, Adobe Premiere Pro stores all saved styles as
style library
files that use the .prsl file extension. When you
save a style library, you are saving the entire set of styles that are displayed in the current Adobe Title Designer
window. The preset style library is stored in Program Files/Adobe/Premiere Pro 2.0/Presets/Styles; custom styles are
stored in My Documents/Adobe/Premiere Pro/2.0/Styles.
Because Adobe Premiere Pro stores each style or set of styles as a separate file, you can share styles with other users.
If you share styles, make sure that the fonts, textures, and background files used are available on all systems.
