  Glow effect against black

  Posted by Atticus Brady on July 20, 2009 at 3:43 am

  Hola,

  I’m doing a reel for someone. I have a newspaper quote (simple white letters against black bg, Times font). When I apply a glow filter from the library, the edges of the glow stop feathering near the border of the text box in which the text was created. In other words, the blur on the glow STOPS outside the text box and the edges of the glow are hard. Any solutions?
  Thanks!

  Place the text in a group or if the text is in a group all by itself then move the Blur Behavior above the text so it effects the group. Select the group and hit F4 to open up the Group tab, make sure the Fixed Resolution check box is un-checked.
