1 00:00:00,210 --> 00:00:04,800 All right, so now we're gonna move on to adding text here, and this is actually a lot simpler than 2 00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:05,170 you think. 3 00:00:05,190 --> 00:00:06,840 So we're gonna watch some of these tools here. 4 00:00:07,020 --> 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 --> 00:00:13,410 When you out when actually moves something around and select it where you want to just click on something 6 00:00:13,410 --> 00:00:14,280 without cutting it. 7 00:00:14,580 --> 00:00:18,990 And obviously, you have your razor tool, which is your cut tool that allows you to kind of cut certain 8 00:00:18,990 --> 00:00:21,630 things and take them out like I showed you before. 9 00:00:21,870 --> 00:00:26,390 And then another tool that we that we're gonna touch on here in this lecture is the type tool that's 10 00:00:26,390 --> 00:00:27,000 going to let you. 11 00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:31,080 And it's important to keep in mind that you unselected everything when you use the type tool. 12 00:00:31,110 --> 00:00:33,380 Otherwise, it will type on that actual file. 13 00:00:33,390 --> 00:00:36,180 So you want to create some text one to create a text file. 14 00:00:36,390 --> 00:00:38,070 So make sure that nothing is actually collector. 15 00:00:38,070 --> 00:00:38,830 Nothing's grey. 16 00:00:39,390 --> 00:00:43,980 And when you're actually adding something here now, you'll if you take your cursor, which is basically 17 00:00:43,980 --> 00:00:46,380 this this line right here that moves along. 18 00:00:47,610 --> 00:00:49,800 That's where you're going to when you actually unclick it. 19 00:00:49,830 --> 00:00:52,470 Where your cursor is, is where we'll add the stop the text. 20 00:00:52,660 --> 00:00:54,270 But you can always drag it, move it later. 21 00:00:54,510 --> 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 22 00:00:58,230 --> 00:00:59,530 and type your text out. 23 00:00:59,550 --> 00:01:01,530 So lets you say, well, I mean, do that. 24 00:01:01,530 --> 00:01:04,470 Let's say, for example, our creating a tutorial video. 25 00:01:04,500 --> 00:01:07,680 And this was like No one in the tutorial, like step one. 26 00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,830 Well, then I would basically write step number one. 27 00:01:11,110 --> 00:01:11,440 Right. 28 00:01:11,850 --> 00:01:12,660 And then unclick. 29 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:16,060 And then you see the text file pop up right here in the graphic. 30 00:01:16,170 --> 00:01:19,320 And that's where you can basically drag that along or wherever you want it. 31 00:01:19,350 --> 00:01:20,940 So that's how you basically do it. 32 00:01:20,970 --> 00:01:25,140 Now, if you want to change the color, you're gonna want to come back to the select tool and you're 33 00:01:25,140 --> 00:01:29,100 going to select that and then make sure that you highlight it as well. 34 00:01:29,310 --> 00:01:34,320 And then you'll be able to if you come up to affects how you're and actually basically edit this out, 35 00:01:34,590 --> 00:01:40,380 you're in a court to effects up here and that's going to place it over here, right here. 36 00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:42,150 Sometimes it'll place over on the left here. 37 00:01:42,570 --> 00:01:46,290 And then if you want to edit it, basically what you're gonna do is you're gonna come up to the selection 38 00:01:46,290 --> 00:01:46,710 tool. 39 00:01:47,430 --> 00:01:50,850 So you're going to hit the selection tool right here and you're gonna edit it. 40 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,790 Now, if you want to make it a little bit bigger, you can simply drag it up and down. 41 00:01:53,850 --> 00:01:55,980 You can obviously move it wherever you want. 42 00:01:56,310 --> 00:01:58,620 But, you know, that doesn't necessarily look great. 43 00:01:58,660 --> 00:01:59,880 The white doesn't look great. 44 00:01:59,890 --> 00:02:01,330 So maybe you want to change the color. 45 00:02:01,590 --> 00:02:02,970 Maybe you want to change the font. 46 00:02:03,270 --> 00:02:04,710 Maybe you want to do something with it. 47 00:02:04,950 --> 00:02:08,910 And one of the tricks and I'm and show you how to do in a second is actually adding a little bit of 48 00:02:08,910 --> 00:02:09,720 an outline to it. 49 00:02:09,930 --> 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 50 00:02:14,100 --> 00:02:15,660 sure that you get that going. 51 00:02:15,780 --> 00:02:19,800 Now, what you want to do when you want to edit this is you'll see up here on the left, it says in 52 00:02:20,010 --> 00:02:20,610 controls. 53 00:02:20,850 --> 00:02:21,990 That's what you want to click. 54 00:02:22,290 --> 00:02:24,000 And that will allow you to start editing it. 55 00:02:24,030 --> 00:02:28,500 So for whatever reason, if you had a lot of text, you can obviously center that text. 56 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:33,540 And then you have to drag it back over by using the selection tool and moving it wherever you want. 57 00:02:33,570 --> 00:02:36,000 Now, it's hard to see that because it's just a step one. 58 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:37,680 There's not a paragraph there. 59 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,110 So it's hard to see whether it's centered or not centered. 60 00:02:40,620 --> 00:02:43,200 But that's just basically how you would do that. 61 00:02:43,590 --> 00:02:46,470 Then if you want to increase the size of it, you can just drag it up. 62 00:02:46,530 --> 00:02:47,340 Make it bigger. 63 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:48,180 Drag it down. 64 00:02:48,180 --> 00:02:49,110 Make smaller. 65 00:02:49,140 --> 00:02:52,020 Pretty similar to the just drag by the corner method. 66 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:53,760 That's how you edit that. 67 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:54,980 Now, if you want to change that. 68 00:02:55,410 --> 00:02:57,690 The text actually boom just right here. 69 00:02:57,690 --> 00:03:00,210 Pretty simple if you want to change the actual font there. 70 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:02,240 That's how you're gonna do that. 71 00:03:02,640 --> 00:03:05,890 And then one of the tips that I actually love to use. 72 00:03:05,910 --> 00:03:09,390 Down here, if we scroll down, you'll see this appearance thing. 73 00:03:09,690 --> 00:03:14,370 And this, I find works well on my videos, because if it doesn't matter if let's say hypothetically, 74 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 a YouTube channel or something 75 00:03:17,670 --> 00:03:18,030 like that. 76 00:03:18,390 --> 00:03:22,560 Well, maybe I'd want to put this up on the top left corner so that it was inconspicuous, but people 77 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:24,110 could still see that it is OK. 78 00:03:24,180 --> 00:03:25,590 This is the start of step one. 79 00:03:25,980 --> 00:03:27,720 That white doesn't look very good, right? 80 00:03:27,870 --> 00:03:28,320 It doesn't. 81 00:03:28,530 --> 00:03:30,530 So maybe I would want to change it to, you know, blue. 82 00:03:30,590 --> 00:03:34,650 So we're gonna click the fill color and we're gonna change it to like a blue color. 83 00:03:34,740 --> 00:03:35,070 Right. 84 00:03:36,410 --> 00:03:39,170 But that doesn't look very good either, you can't really distinguish that. 85 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:43,370 So what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna hit controls, even undo this to change it back to white. 86 00:03:43,430 --> 00:03:45,900 You can obviously just go back to the Phil and change it to white if you want. 87 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,680 And what I like to do here is I'm going to keep it white. 88 00:03:49,750 --> 00:03:52,670 This is just a personal preference and I'm going to change the stroke. 89 00:03:52,940 --> 00:03:56,060 So I'm going to add a stroke by clicking this checkmark right here. 90 00:03:56,330 --> 00:04:00,590 And what that's gonna do is it's going to add an outer layer so that you can kind of see the inside 91 00:04:00,590 --> 00:04:00,950 white. 92 00:04:01,220 --> 00:04:03,200 And also add an outer layer there. 93 00:04:03,260 --> 00:04:06,380 Nomine change the stroke to maybe something like a red or blue. 94 00:04:06,550 --> 00:04:10,100 And you can play around with this, but it basically kind of adds a cool little touch there, kind of 95 00:04:10,100 --> 00:04:15,550 adds a different popping element to the text and really kind of keeps it so that you can see it. 96 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:19,450 And it's easily distinguishable, but also adds kind of a cool element there. 97 00:04:19,490 --> 00:04:20,530 I'll show you what I mean by that. 98 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:21,620 So we're gonna click stroke. 99 00:04:21,710 --> 00:04:26,450 OK, now, see, that's a little bit you can barely see the little red on the outline there. 100 00:04:26,660 --> 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 101 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,890 stroke with on the number and you click it and you can basically change that. 102 00:04:33,950 --> 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. 103 00:04:39,680 --> 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 104 00:04:43,430 --> 00:04:43,970 for you. 105 00:04:44,150 --> 00:04:48,410 And depending on how big it is as well, you know, you might find that you like Tan and that's totally 106 00:04:48,410 --> 00:04:48,740 fine. 107 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,110 I find that maybe like six or seven is usually good. 108 00:04:51,350 --> 00:04:52,970 It's enough to kind of distinguish it. 109 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:54,380 Maybe like seven would be good. 110 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:56,050 Let's try that. 111 00:04:59,620 --> 00:05:04,780 It's enough to kind of distinguish it while still keeping it, you know, on cartoonish, it looks a 112 00:05:04,780 --> 00:05:07,120 little bit better in my opinion. 113 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,430 And that's how how you basically play around with that. 114 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:13,990 That's how you're gonna basically, you know, change the color, changed the font of that, you know, 115 00:05:14,020 --> 00:05:14,950 basically center it. 116 00:05:14,950 --> 00:05:18,640 If you have a big paragraph or you typing something in, that's how you're gonna play around with that. 117 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:20,800 You're gonna use the text tool like we talked about. 118 00:05:21,100 --> 00:05:21,770 You're in a type it up. 119 00:05:21,790 --> 00:05:26,470 So one thing that like I said before, you when you're typing in, you're using the text to make sure 120 00:05:26,470 --> 00:05:27,820 you don't have anything selected. 121 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:31,180 So if you're adding a bunch of text, you don't want any other text selected. 122 00:05:31,210 --> 00:05:32,030 See how that's grey. 123 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:33,230 You don't want that gray. 124 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:34,820 What you want is going to click off of it. 125 00:05:34,820 --> 00:05:39,610 So nothing selected and then add a text, because if you have this selected and you add text, it's 126 00:05:39,610 --> 00:05:41,830 going to add text in the same frame as this. 127 00:05:41,860 --> 00:05:43,120 And that's not what you want. 128 00:05:43,420 --> 00:05:44,890 Ninety nine point nine percent the time. 129 00:05:45,070 --> 00:05:46,120 So you're adding more text. 130 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:46,990 Click off of it. 131 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:48,460 Drag your cursor over. 132 00:05:48,460 --> 00:05:49,390 It's where you don't want it. 133 00:05:49,510 --> 00:05:51,040 Maybe it's up here on the third layer. 134 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:52,360 Maybe it's down here or wherever. 135 00:05:52,630 --> 00:05:56,110 And then you're gonna add text again and add text. 136 00:05:56,590 --> 00:06:00,070 And then if you want change, it can't spell text clearly. 137 00:06:00,280 --> 00:06:03,700 And then if you want to change it, like I said, make sure that now that it's a different, you know, 138 00:06:03,790 --> 00:06:06,970 text file in general, you can then adjust this as well. 139 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 140 00:06:10,570 --> 00:06:12,940 be like, you know, a green. 141 00:06:13,030 --> 00:06:14,950 I don't know why you would put you know, maybe you do. 142 00:06:15,250 --> 00:06:17,280 And then that's how you're basically going to do that there. 143 00:06:17,290 --> 00:06:20,350 So that's basically editing text and adding text in a nutshell. 144 00:06:20,500 --> 00:06:22,630 Play around with it and use that to your advantage. 145 00:06:22,810 --> 00:06:25,180 It's just another tool in your arsenal.
