TUTORIAL FOUR: CG INFINITY 61
Creating and distorting text objects
One of the more powerful aspects of CG Infinity is its ability to create
impressive titles for use as images or in video projects. Once a title is
created, you can distort it in a variety of ways and apply various colors
and gradients to give it a more polished look and feel.
To create and distort a text object:
1.
Select the Text tool and click anywhere in the edit window.
2.
Enter the text of your title. (Add a new line by pressing the
ENTER
key.)
To change the text alignment, font or any other characteristics, select
the text and then choose the appropriate options from the Attribute
toolbar.
3.
Switch to the Envelope tool. A red border appears around the text as
well as nodes on the corners and edges of the border.
4.
Drag the nodes to adjust the envelope. Each time you select a node,
two control handles appear which you can adjust independently. Keep
adjusting the nodes and handles until you are happy with the result. If
you are not sure about the type of distortion you want to create, select
a preset from the Envelope gallery in the Production Library and drop
it onto the text. The text automatically distorts itself to the path of the
envelope.
