Adding text to titles

Enter text in titles
When adding text to a title, you can use any font on your system, including Type 1 (PostScript®), OpenType®, and
TrueType fonts. Installing Premiere Pro (and other Adobe applications) adds fonts to the shared Adobe resources.
Depending on the tool you choose in the Titler, you can create point text or paragraph text. When you create point
text, you specify an insertion point where you want to begin typing. Typing continues on a single line unless you
enable the word wrap feature, which continues the text on a new line when it reaches the edge of the title-safe area.
When you create paragraph text, you specify a text box in which the text fits. The text in a text box wraps automat-
ically within the borders of the box.
Dragging the corner handle of a point text object scales the text, whereas dragging the corner of a text box reflows
the text it contains. If a text box is too small to contain the characters you type, you can resize it to reveal the hidden
text. Text boxes that contain hidden characters have a plus sign (+) on the right side of the box.
You can also create path text. Instead of following a straight baseline, path text follows a curve you create.
Any kind of text can be oriented horizontally or vertically along its baseline or path.
