18 Click the Selection tool, and change the size and shape of the bounding box.
The text does not change size. Instead, it adjusts its position on the bounding
box baselines. If you make the box too small for all your text, the extra text
scrolls below the bottom edge of the bounding box. In that case, a small plus
sign (+) appears near the lower-right corner outside the bounding box.
19 Double-click within the text to edit it.
20 Switch to the Selection tool, click anywhere in the text bounding box, and press
Delete to remove the text.
Vertical text While you’re testing your text, try the vertically oriented Vertical Type tool and
Vertical Area Type tool. They create text with each character standing on top of the
next one.
Putting text on a path The Path Type tool is both elegant and tricky. It enables you to build paths that are
simple or complex, or that are straight or curved, for your text to follow.
If you’ve worked with the Pen tool in Adobe Photoshop or Adobe Illustrator, you
know how to use the Path Type tool. You define a path by creating a number of
points in the Titler panel and dragging handles at each point to define curves.
Here’s how it works in Adobe Premiere Pro:
1 Continue with the same title opened for the previous exercise, or start a new
title. Select the Path Type tool.

Creating Dynamic Titles
2 Click three different points in the Titler panel to form a triangle.
3 Click the Convert Anchor Point tool.
4 Click the Convert Anchor Point tool over the center point of your triangle (your
pointer changes to a black arrow), and drag to the right to create anchor point
handles. The longer the handle, the more the angle will flatten to a curve.
Try making the handles longer or shorter, or just move them around to see how
they work.
