Title Path with Protype.

Rosebud wrote on 9/13/2007, 11:36 AM

I want to apply a path to a text.
From help we can read: “Select this check box if you want to draw a path for your text to follow. When the check box is selected, a path is added to the workspace. You can edit the curve in the same way you create Bezier curves”

I’m trying the same shortcut as the bezier mask to split a tangent but it don’t seem to work.
Any help will be appreciated.
TIA

Double click the path. A node is created in the preview area on the path. There should be two handles on the node. Are you seeing those handles?
In terms of the shortcut keys found in Pan/Crop/mask, these are not applied in the ProType Title tool.

Thx SPOT.
Yes, I see the handles. But can I split tangents (handles) like in bezier mask ?

For example, how to draw a heart ?

I've done a HEART . . . just for you!

I got GRAZIE flying around the Heart shape. If you want it, you can have it.

What I did was to RIGHT click on a "node" and selected "Linearize Handle" - not the splitting tangent thing in Bez - however, this HAS the effect of creating an angular rather than a curvy thing. Once i did this it was easy for me to then work on the Nodes handles on each side of the "lobar" of the heart to form rather nice curvy "bumps".

Grazie

Thx Grazie, you are kind-hearted ;)))

Nice work, but I really hopes Sony will add same bezier tools for complex path.
