Film Frame Text

To me it looks like an Arial rounded type font with a yellow drop shadow around it.

There’s a really nice way of getting this effect and that’s to take your text and blur it quite a lot (which will round the edges), and then apply a Levels filter and adjust the Alpha Black In (not the RGB) to add sharpness back to the shape.

In this case you will want two instances of this, one for the black core and the other for the wider yellow version.

You don’t actually need a rounded font to achieve the look – just plain Arial will probably do.

Thanks for the tips, I’ll try them out and see how it goes.

Try just adding a glow to the text. A little blur. Maybe use add mode.
