Utilizing linked styles for titles and track styles for captions empowers you to efficiently preserve parameters such as font choices and appearance within a designated style. By associating this style with all relevant instances, updates can be swiftly applied across the project with just a single click.

Poznámka:

Graphic styles are called Linked styles, while captions are called Track Style. Caption styles always apply to the entire track, while for graphics, styles apply to text layers.

Create a style

  1. Select the text layer or caption in your timeline and navigate to the Edit tab of the Essential Graphics panel.

  2. Stylize the text layer or caption using Text and Appearance controls.

  3. Select the plus icon at the upper-right corner of the Linked style or Track style menu and select Create style.

  4. Name your style and save it to your desired location. You can select Save to Project to link the text layer or caption to the style, and it will show up in the dropdown. It will also create a project item in the Project panel. If you select Local Foldersit will save the style to a local folder, which can be reused in future projects through the style browser.

  5. The new style appears with thumbnails in the Linked style or Track style dropdown list. You can then apply that style to other text layers and caption tracks in your project.

The UI shows the dialog to add new text style with Save to Project and Save to Local styles highlighted.
Save your styles to Local Styles and easily import them to be applied easily to other projects.

Apply a style

Once you have created a style, you can link it to other titles or caption tracks. Follow these steps to apply styles to text layers and captions.

  1. Select the text layer or caption you wish to edit.

  2. Select the style you wish to apply from the dropdown list. 

  3. The text layer or caption track will now be linked to the style.

Redefining a style

Once you have linked the style to your relevant caption track or text layers you can update all instances at once.

  1. Select one text layer or a caption block from the captions track you wish to edit.

  2. Make your desired changes and select the Redefine Style button next to the Linked style or Track style dropdown to overwrite the style with the new changes.

  3. All text layers or captions that use that style will change to your new style in one go.

    For captions, a Redefine Style dialog will ask you whether you wish to save your changes to all captions in the track (which does not change the style) or if you wish to overwrite the style with your changes.

Style usage and navigation

A usage indicator tells you how many graphics or caption tracks use a style. Clicking on the indicator will navigate to the beginning of the caption track or the graphic. Each instance in the dropdown provides information about the following metadata in this format:

  • Captions: sequence name: caption track: caption track name 
  • Graphics: sequence name: video track: timecode: amount of layers in graphic using style
UI shows the indicator with placement sequence of the different text styles.
Use the indicator to navigate to the beginning of the selected caption or text graphic.
