Adding Textures

Textures can add depth to any animated titling project. You can use them to fill existing titles and objects or place them in the background to give richness to your animation.

1.	In the Media Browser, click the Textures tab, and choose Canvas from the Category pop-up menu.
2.	Select Atmospheric, and click Apply To New Track to add the texture to the Timeline. NOTE If you apply an effect that hasn't been installed yet, LiveType will place a still proxy frame in the Timeline instead of the actual media. You can then install the effect at any time by clicking the Install button in the lower-right corner of the Media Browser
3.	Click the right edge of the new texture track and drag to adjust the length of the track to match the length of the title track.
4.	If necessary, click the thin gray background bar and drag it below the new texture track. This ensures that the texture will be included in the final output.
5.	Restore the Canvas window to Fit To Window, then render and play the completed title sequence. NOTE You can change the color of a texture in the Attributes tab in the Inspector by making a selection from the color swatch.
6.	Press Cmd-S to save this project.
