11. Text Layers
Layers Without Images
As you read in the previous chapter, text can be used in a variety of ways to
enhance the storytelling in your shows. Captions are great, but
sometimes you need even more creative freedom when working with text -
and that's where Text Layers come in.
A Text Layer is type of layer that you'll find in the Layers List. Essentially,
it’s both a caption and a visual layer. Text Layers combine the utility of
text with the creative control of layers. As a result, they can take advantage
of just about all of the options available for both objects.
Adding Text Layers
As Text Layers can be considered a hybrid between captions and layers,
they naturally have two different ways in which they can be added to your
shows.
The first option is to convert an existing caption.
To Convert a Caption to Text Layer
1. With a caption selected in the Captions List, right-click on the
caption and select Convert to Layer
