Change the color

To change the font color, click “Change the text font and color.” Here you will see lots of options for changing the look of your text.

To change the color of the text itself, click the A with the little bar under it under “Color.” This will open a window of colors to choose from. If you see one you like, highlight it and click Okay.

If you would like a color that is not in one of the color boxes, click “Define Custom Colors” and you will be able to pick exactly the shade you want by moving the cursor around the color box that opens up.

Click Okay and you will see your text change to the color you want.

Some of the title animations like “Credits: Video Left” have solid bars of color behind the text. To change the color of these bars, click the square next to the A under “Color.” You can edit the background color exactly the same way you did with the font color.
