1
00:00:00,150 --> 00:00:04,800
All right, so now we're going to move on to adding text here, and this is actually a lot simpler than

2
00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:05,180
you think.

3
00:00:05,190 --> 00:00:06,840
So we're going to watch some of these tools here.

4
00:00:06,990 --> 00:00:09,540
You'll notice that one of the ones that we use a lot is the selection tool.

5
00:00:09,540 --> 00:00:13,440
When you want to actually move something around and select it, where you want to just click on something

6
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:18,150
without cutting it, then obviously you have to our tool, which is your cut tool that allows you to

7
00:00:18,150 --> 00:00:21,630
kind of cut certain things and take them out like I showed you before.

8
00:00:21,780 --> 00:00:26,400
And then another tool that we that we're going to touch on here in this lecture is the type tool that's

9
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:27,030
going to let you.

10
00:00:27,450 --> 00:00:31,080
And it's important to keep in mind that you can select everything when you use the title.

11
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:33,390
Otherwise it will type on that actual file.

12
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:36,200
So you want to create some text, you want to create a text file.

13
00:00:36,330 --> 00:00:41,100
So make sure that nothing is actually clicked or nothing is grey when you're actually adding something

14
00:00:41,100 --> 00:00:41,370
here.

15
00:00:41,580 --> 00:00:47,880
Now, if you take your cursor, which is basically this this line right here that moves along, that's

16
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:49,830
where you're going to when you actually click it.

17
00:00:49,830 --> 00:00:52,500
Where your cursor is is where we'll add to the text.

18
00:00:52,650 --> 00:00:54,300
But you can always drag it, move it later.

19
00:00:54,420 --> 00:00:57,990
And then once you click this, you're just going to click it in the frame right here in the picture

20
00:00:58,140 --> 00:00:59,570
and type your text out.

21
00:00:59,580 --> 00:01:01,530
So let's just say, well, I mean, do that.

22
00:01:01,530 --> 00:01:06,660
Let's say if, for example, I creating a tutorial video and this was like No one in the tutorial,

23
00:01:06,660 --> 00:01:10,860
like step one, well, then I would basically write step number one.

24
00:01:11,070 --> 00:01:11,460
Right.

25
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:16,110
And then unclick and then you see the text file pop up right here and the graphic.

26
00:01:16,110 --> 00:01:19,330
And that's where you can basically drag that along or wherever you want it.

27
00:01:19,350 --> 00:01:20,970
So that's how you basically do it.

28
00:01:20,980 --> 00:01:25,140
Now, if you want to change the color, you're going to want to come back to the selectable and you're

29
00:01:25,140 --> 00:01:29,100
going to select that and then make sure that you highlight it as well.

30
00:01:29,220 --> 00:01:34,050
And then you'll be able to, if you come up to affects how you're going to actually basically edit this

31
00:01:34,050 --> 00:01:40,410
out, you're going to come up to effects up here and that's going to place it over here, right here.

32
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:42,090
Sometimes it'll place over on the left here.

33
00:01:42,450 --> 00:01:45,570
And then if you want to edit it, basically what you're going to do is you're going to come up to the

34
00:01:45,570 --> 00:01:46,680
selection tool.

35
00:01:47,370 --> 00:01:50,880
So you're going to hit the selection tool right here and you're going to edit it.

36
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,820
Now, if you want to make it a little bit bigger, you can simply drag it up and down.

37
00:01:53,820 --> 00:01:56,010
You can obviously move it wherever you want.

38
00:01:56,310 --> 00:01:58,650
But, you know, that doesn't necessarily look great.

39
00:01:58,690 --> 00:01:59,880
The white doesn't look great.

40
00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:01,380
So maybe you want to change the color.

41
00:02:01,530 --> 00:02:02,970
Maybe you want to change the font.

42
00:02:03,210 --> 00:02:04,740
Maybe you want to do something with it.

43
00:02:04,860 --> 00:02:08,820
And one of the tricks and I'm going to show you how to do in a second is actually adding a little bit

44
00:02:08,820 --> 00:02:09,720
of an outline to it.

45
00:02:09,870 --> 00:02:14,100
But one of the things you have to do there is obviously if the selected and then highlight it to make

46
00:02:14,100 --> 00:02:15,680
sure that you get that going.

47
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:19,600
Now, what you want to do when you want to edit this is you'll see up here on the left, it says, in

48
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:20,610
effect controls.

49
00:02:20,820 --> 00:02:24,030
That's what you want to click and that will allow you to start editing it.

50
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:29,100
So for whatever reason, if you had a lot of text, you can obviously center that text and then you

51
00:02:29,110 --> 00:02:33,550
have to drag it back over by using the selection tool and moving it wherever you want.

52
00:02:33,570 --> 00:02:36,000
Now, it's hard to see that because it's just a step one.

53
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:37,680
There's not like a paragraph there.

54
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,140
So it's hard to see whether it's centered or not centered.

55
00:02:40,620 --> 00:02:43,410
But that's just basically how you would do that.

56
00:02:43,530 --> 00:02:48,210
Then if you want to increase the size of it, you can just drag it up, make it bigger, drag it down,

57
00:02:48,210 --> 00:02:49,110
make smaller.

58
00:02:49,110 --> 00:02:52,050
Pretty similar to the just drag by the corner method.

59
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:53,750
That's how you edit that.

60
00:02:53,970 --> 00:02:57,030
Now if you want to change the text, actually boom.

61
00:02:57,030 --> 00:02:57,690
Just right here.

62
00:02:57,690 --> 00:02:58,530
Pretty simple.

63
00:02:58,530 --> 00:03:02,430
If you want to change the actual font there, that's how you're going to do that.

64
00:03:02,550 --> 00:03:08,400
And then one of the tips that I actually love to use down here, if we scroll down here, you'll see

65
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:09,420
this appearance thing.

66
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:14,370
And this, I find works well on my videos, because if it doesn't matter if let's say hypothetically,

67
00:03:14,370 --> 00:03:17,670
I was making this and this was actually a video I was going to put up on my YouTube channel or something

68
00:03:17,670 --> 00:03:18,060
like that.

69
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:22,580
Well, maybe I'd want to put this up in the top left corner so that it was inconspicuous, but people

70
00:03:22,590 --> 00:03:24,180
would still see that it is OK.

71
00:03:24,180 --> 00:03:25,590
This is the start of step one.

72
00:03:25,920 --> 00:03:27,690
That white doesn't look very good, right?

73
00:03:27,810 --> 00:03:28,310
It doesn't.

74
00:03:28,470 --> 00:03:30,590
So maybe I would want to change it to blue.

75
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:34,710
So we're going to click the the film color and we're going to change it to like a blue color.

76
00:03:34,710 --> 00:03:35,070
Right.

77
00:03:36,380 --> 00:03:39,830
But that doesn't look very good either, you can't really distinguish that, so what I'm going to do

78
00:03:39,830 --> 00:03:43,400
is I'm going to hit controls and undo this to change it back to white.

79
00:03:43,410 --> 00:03:45,950
You can obviously just go back to the Phil and change it to white if you want.

80
00:03:46,310 --> 00:03:49,750
And what I like to do here is I'm going to keep it white.

81
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:52,700
This is just a personal preference and I'm going to change the stroke.

82
00:03:52,910 --> 00:03:56,090
So I'm going to add a stroke by clicking this checkmark right here.

83
00:03:56,270 --> 00:04:00,590
And what that's going to do is it's going to add an outer layer so that you can kind of see the inside

84
00:04:00,590 --> 00:04:03,200
white and also add an outer layer there.

85
00:04:03,230 --> 00:04:07,340
Now, I'm going to change the stroke to maybe something like a red or blue and you can play around with

86
00:04:07,340 --> 00:04:11,840
this, but it basically kind of adds a cool little touch there, kind of adds a different popping element

87
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:15,560
to the text and really kind of keeps it so that you can see it.

88
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:19,480
And it's easily distinguishable, but also adds kind of a cool element there.

89
00:04:19,490 --> 00:04:20,510
I'll show you what I mean by that.

90
00:04:20,540 --> 00:04:21,650
So we're going to look stroke.

91
00:04:21,650 --> 00:04:26,450
OK, now, see, that's a little bit you can barely see the little red on the outline there.

92
00:04:26,630 --> 00:04:30,200
So if you want to make the stroke a little bit bigger, you just come over here to this right here to

93
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,900
stroke with on the number and you click it and then you can basically change that.

94
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:39,380
Now, I found that if you go about 10, it's a little too much and it looks a little kind of cartoonish.

95
00:04:39,650 --> 00:04:43,430
So what you really want to do is you want I don't want to play around with it and find a good number

96
00:04:43,430 --> 00:04:44,060
for you.

97
00:04:44,060 --> 00:04:48,440
And depending on how big it is as well, you know, you might find that you like Tan and that's totally

98
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:48,760
fine.

99
00:04:48,770 --> 00:04:51,140
I find that maybe like six or seven is usually good.

100
00:04:51,260 --> 00:04:53,000
It's enough to kind of distinguish it.

101
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:54,380
Maybe like seven would be good.

102
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:56,050
Let's try that.

103
00:04:59,530 --> 00:05:04,810
It's enough to kind of distinguish it while still keeping it, you know, on cartoonish, it looks a

104
00:05:04,810 --> 00:05:07,150
little bit better in my opinion.

105
00:05:07,270 --> 00:05:09,450
And that's how how you basically play around with that.

106
00:05:09,460 --> 00:05:14,500
That's how you're going to basically, you know, change the color, change the font, you know, basically

107
00:05:14,500 --> 00:05:14,950
centered.

108
00:05:14,950 --> 00:05:18,580
If you have a big paragraph or you're typing something in, that's how you're going to play around with

109
00:05:18,580 --> 00:05:18,670
it.

110
00:05:18,670 --> 00:05:20,830
You're going to use the text tool like we talked about.

111
00:05:21,010 --> 00:05:21,790
You're going to type it up.

112
00:05:21,820 --> 00:05:26,470
So one thing, like I said before, you, when you're typing in, you're using the text to make sure

113
00:05:26,470 --> 00:05:27,850
you don't have anything selected.

114
00:05:28,060 --> 00:05:31,210
So if you're adding a bunch of text, you don't want any other text selected.

115
00:05:31,220 --> 00:05:32,080
See how that's grey?

116
00:05:32,260 --> 00:05:33,250
You don't want that grey.

117
00:05:33,460 --> 00:05:34,870
What you want is you want to click off of it.

118
00:05:34,870 --> 00:05:39,610
So nothing selected and then add a text, because if you have this selected and you add text, it's

119
00:05:39,610 --> 00:05:41,860
going to add text in the same frame as this.

120
00:05:41,860 --> 00:05:44,970
And that's not what you want, ninety nine point nine percent of the time.

121
00:05:45,010 --> 00:05:49,410
So you're adding more text, click off of it, drag your cursor over to where you're going to want it.

122
00:05:49,420 --> 00:05:52,390
Maybe it's up here on the third layer, maybe it's down here or wherever.

123
00:05:52,690 --> 00:05:56,110
And then you're going to add text again and add text.

124
00:05:56,470 --> 00:06:00,100
And then if you want to change, it, can't spell text clearly.

125
00:06:00,220 --> 00:06:03,720
And then if you want to change it, like I said, make sure that now that it's a different, you know,

126
00:06:03,790 --> 00:06:06,970
text file in general, you can then adjust this as well.

127
00:06:06,970 --> 00:06:10,570
So if you want to center it, if you want to change the color of this, maybe you want this stroke to

128
00:06:10,570 --> 00:06:12,970
be like, you know, a green.

129
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:14,950
I don't know why you would put you know, maybe you do.

130
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,290
And then that's how you're basically going to do that there.

131
00:06:17,290 --> 00:06:20,350
So that's basically editing text and adding text in a nutshell.

132
00:06:20,470 --> 00:06:22,710
Play around with it and use that to your advantage.

133
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:25,180
It's just another tool in your arsenal.
