When modifying title effects in the Title Designer be sure to set the title text's anchor point first (if required) and use the mode selection and zoom tools for assistance.

Title Text Anchor Points

The anchor point on title text clip in the Title Designer can be enabled in Object Settings, and is where all the fixed effects work from. For example, title text rotates around its anchor point.

By default the anchor point is in the middle of the title text, at the X 0.500, Y 0.500 position. You can click and drag the anchor point to a new position on the title text, changing its point of rotation, scaling, etc.

For scaling the anchor point is the position from which the title text scales up from.

Move the anchor point on title text to change how the edits you make to its properties in the Title Designer affect the title effect.

Mode Selection

In the Title Designer there are two selection modes. Click the button to enable the object selection. When selected, you can freely click and move the title text, particles, images, etc. to different areas of the video frame.

Click the button to enable a mode that lets you drag the view in the Title Designer. This mode is especially helpful if zoomed in on the title effect.

Zoom Tools

Use the zoom tools and to zoom out and in on the preview window when modifying the title effect. You can also select the viewer zoom amount from the drop-down to set the size of the title effect preview. Select Fit to resize the title effect so that is fits in the Title Designer's viewer window.
