Use the drop down arrow at Uniform color.

Hi Carl

Look at my screen shot. There dosen't seem to be a drop down arrow. Maybe it isn't available with 3D like titles.

Look at your screenshot, and then look at Carl's screenshot. About 2 inches from the left of the Title Designer box, use the scroll bar on the right to move the same amount and you should see it.

Let us know if this helps...

I attached two screen shots. One is using the default 2D title and the other the default 3D title. The drop down arrow is missing when making a 3D title.

Hi HT -

You've worked out that formatting 3D titles is different. There is no gradient option. as there is with 2D titles.

If you want a gradient fill, you can import a texture under Texture Settings



(you have to make or find the gradient fill first)

Cheers - Tony

Thanks ynotfish. Would I make a gradient fill in paint.net or in Pd?

Hi HT -

It's easy to make them in Paint.NET - just use the gradient tool to fill the space, then Effects > Color > Apply Color to colour it up.

There are plenty to choose from if you just google images "gradient background". Of course, in PDR, you can recolour whatever you want in Fix/Enhance.

HT, Title Pro may work for your needs as well.
