To add a sheen
You can add a sheen to any object’s fill or stroke. A sheen resembles a streak of colored light across the surface of an
object. You can adjust a sheen’s color, size, angle, opacity, and position.

2 Select Sheen in the Title Properties panel.
3 Click the triangle next to Sheen and set its options.
Note: If the object’s texture obscures the sheen, deselect the Texture option in the Title Properties panel.
To load a texture
You can map a texture to any object’s fill or stroke. To add a texture, specify a vector or bitmap file (for example, an
Adobe Photoshop file), or use one of several textures included with Adobe Premiere Pro.
