Step Three:
You can control the color of your Identity
Plate text by turning on the Override Color
checkbox (found under the Identity Plate
preview). Once you turn that on, click
once on the color swatch to its right and
a color picker appears (shown here). At
the top are some handy color swatches in
white, black, and different shades of gray.
You can choose one of those, or drag the
bar up/down on the far right to choose a
hue, and then you can choose your color's
saturation from the large color picker gra-
dient (here, I'm choosing a gray color, and
you can see that color instantly reflected
in the text). You can also control the size
of your Identity Plate text by using the
Scale slider at the bottom of the Intro
Screen section.
Step Four:
To change the color of the intro screen's
background, just click on the color swatch
to the right of the Intro Screen checkbox.
In this case, I changed the background to
a maroon color just to show you what it
looks like (I also changed the color of my
Identity Plate to match the background).
Once all your title text is formatted the
way you want it (good luck on that, by the
way, because editing text in the Identity
Plate Editor is…well…it's clunky as heck,
and I didn't want to say heck), you can
preview the slide show in the Preview area.
The Ending Screen works the same way: to
turn it on, you turn on the Ending Screen
checkbox in the Titles panel, and you can
choose that screen's background color,
Identity Plate size, etc., just like you did
with the intro screen.
