Center objects in titles

1In the Titler, select one or more objects.

2In the Title Actions panel, click the button for the type of centering you want.

Note: You can center objects using the Title > Position command and selecting the option you want. Additionally, you can choose Title > Position > Lower Third to position the selected object along the bottom edge of the title-safe margin. To center an object both horizontally and vertically within the drawing area, click both centering buttons.

Align objects in titles

An alignment option aligns selected objects to the object that most closely represents the new alignment. For example, for right alignment, all selected objects align to the selected object that is farthest to the right.

1In the Titler, select two or more objects.

2In the Title Actions panel, click the button for the type of alignment you want.

Distribute objects in titles

A distribution option evenly spaces selected objects between the two most extreme objects. For example, for a vertical distribution option, the selected objects are distributed between the highest and lowest selected objects.

When you distribute objects of different sizes, the spaces between objects vary. For example, distributing objects by their centers creates equal space between the centers—but different-sized objects extend by different amounts into the space between objects. To create uniform spacing between selected objects, use the Horizontal Even Spacing or Vertical Even Spacing option.

1In the Titler, select three or more objects.

2In the Title Actions panel, click the button for the type of distribution you want.
