Changing the color of one word in generated text
Hi, I was wondering if there was an easy way to change the color of just one word in generated text. When I change the color of the text, it affects all of the text, but I just want one word to be a different color.
“The boy is green” I want the “green” to be green and “The boy is” to be white.
Is this possible?

Sure it is.
Create the text and then duplicate it to another track.
Change the colour of the text on track 1 to green, erase “The boy is” and add extra spaces so it matches the lower track.
Open the text event on track 2, erase “green” and add extra spaces so that it matches the upper track.
BTW, feel free to do this the other way if you want to.
Here’s the result.

I forgot to add that Photoshop is my “go to” app for things like this as it’s very easy to colour individual letters or words.

You can also use a mask on the duplicated text event so as not to have to worry about adding spaces to align things.

Thanks John. I never would have thought about doing that.

John, would you mind going thru the steps of how to add the mask that you are referring to? Thanks.

Open the Pan/Crop window on the green text and mask out the letter “green”.

Seems like a hassle when you can just use ProType and color the word?
