Titling and the Titler

Miter Limit Specifies the point at which the join type switches from mitered (pointed) to bevel (square). The default miter limit is 4. At the default, the join type switches from miter to bevel when the length of the point is four times the stroke weight. A miter limit of 1 results in a bevel join.

Note: You can apply the options described above to shapes you create with Pen Tool or Line tool. You can apply an inner or outer stroke to any text or graphic object.

Add images to titles

Use the Titler to place images in a title, such as adding a logo graphic. You can either add the image as a graphic element or place it in a text box to become part of the text. The Titler accepts both bitmap images and vector-based artwork (such as art created with Adobe Illustrator). However, Premiere Pro rasterizes vector-based art, converting it to a bitmap version in the Titler. By default, an inserted image appears at its original size.
