Transform objects in titles
You
can adjust an object’s position, rotation, scale, and opacity—attributes collectively
referred to as transform properties. To transform an
object, drag it to the drawing area, choose a command from the Title
menu, or use controls in the Title Properties panel.
Adjust an object’s opacity- Select an object or group of objects.
- Do one of the following:
Adjust the position of objects- Select an object, or Shift‑click to
select multiple objects.
- Do one of the following:
In the drawing area, drag any of the selected
objects to a new position.
Choose Title > Transform >
Position and type new X and Y Position values; then click OK.
In the Transform section of the Title Properties
panel, enter values for X Position and Y Position.
Use the arrow keys to nudge the object in 1‑pixel
increments, or press Shift+arrow key to nudge the object in 5‑pixel
increments.
Choose Title > Position and choose an
option to center the selected object or align its bottom edge with
the bottom of the title‑safe margin.
Scale objects Select an object, or Shift‑click to
select multiple objects.To scale the width, drag any object’s left
or right handles in the drawing area.
To scale the height, drag the object’s top or bottom
handles in the drawing area.
To constrain the object proportions, Shift‑drag
the corner and side handles.
To scale and constrain the aspect ratio, Shift‑drag
any object’s corner handles.
To scale from the center, Alt‑drag (Windows) or
Option-drag (Mac OS) any object’s corner handles.
To set scale values in terms of percentages, choose
Title > Transform > Scale, specify the values
you want, and click OK.
To set scale values in terms of pixels, specify
values for Width and Height in the Title Properties panel.
Note: Dragging the handles of a text object created with
the Horizontal Type or Vertical Type tool changes its font size.
If the scaling is not uniform, the text’s aspect value also changes.
Change the rotation angle of objects- Select an object, or Shift‑click to
select multiple objects.
- Do one of the following:
In the drawing area, place the cursor just
outside any object’s corner points. When the cursor becomes the
Rotate icon  , drag
in the direction you want to adjust the angle. Shift‑drag to constrain
the rotation to 45° increments.
Select the rotation tool  and
drag any object in the direction you want.
Choose Title > Transform >
Rotation, type a new Rotation value, and click OK.
Enter a value for Rotation in the Title Properties
panel, or expand the Rotation category heading and drag the angle
control.
Distort an object or multiple objects- Select the object, or Shift‑click to
select multiple objects.
- In the Properties section of the Title Properties panel,
click the triangle next to Distort to show its X and Y options.
Adjust the X value to distort the text along the x axis. Adjust
the Y value to distort along the y axis.
Note: Distort affects an entire graphic object’s horizontal
(X) or vertical (Y) aspect. However, it affects each character in
a text object individually.
