Creating Titles with Avid Marquee
Using Shadows to Simulate Glows
The Quick Titles Properties window doesn’t have controls to create a text
glow. However, you can use shadows to create a glow-like effect.
To simulate a colored glow:
1. Select the text object that you want to glow.
2. Apply a drop shadow by selecting Show Drop Shadow in the Quick
Titles Properties window.
3. Adjust the following shadow property values:
 Opacity: 50 or higher
Shadow opacity depends on the shadow color you use.
 X offset: 0
 Y offset: 0
 Softness: 50 or higher
The higher the softness, the longer the shadow takes to render.
To reduc e the performanc e lag , use the lowes t lev el o f soft ness
required for a particular effect.
