    Hi, I have several text tracks in my timeline, I’ve decided to completely change the style of the text but when I go to create it, it makes a new text layer. I want to put a glow on the outisde of the letters. Is there a way to edit already existing text without having to re do everything? I don’t want to just change the color or font size, this is more of a change of style.

    Thanks for your help in advance.

    Double click on the text clip in your timeline and it will open up the text parameters in the viewer. You can then modify the font, size, tracking, etc. in the Controls tab, or add glow or other effects in the Filters tab (drag the desired effect from the Effects tab of your browser either into the Filters window of the viewer, or directly onto the text clip in the timeline).
