To map media to text:
1. From the Texture track, select a media type from the Media icon.
2. Select the Text track’s Face track to display the Text controls in the Controls window.
3. Click the Texture tab.
The Map Method menu controls how the media is mapped onto the text.
4. From the Map Method menu, choose one of the following:
• Tile repeats the texture image on the face of the text.
When you select Tile, decrease the Scale X and Scale Y parameters to better see the
tiled image within the text.
• Stretch sizes the texture image to fit the text.
• Clip allows you to size and position the texture image on the text.
The following example shows Reptilian texture.
5. Adjust Offset X and Offset Y to move the center of the Texture image along the X and Y
axis respectively. This repositions the texture within the text.
6. Adjust Scale X and Scale Y to change the size of the texture image along the X and Y
axis respectively.
7. From the Apply To menu, select Backdrop or Text to map the texture media.
