Text formatting

Mont provides rich text formatting for text objects in your scenes.

Basic formatting

Select text within a text object to apply formatting:

Text properties

Use the properties panel to adjust:

• Font size: Adjust text size in pixels
• Font family: Choose from available fonts
• Text color: Set the text color
• Alignment: Left, center, or right align text

Creating text objects

1. Select the text tool from the toolbar
2. Click in the scene where you want text
3. Type your content
4. Click outside to finish editing

Editing text

1. Double-click a text object to enter edit mode
2. Select text and apply formatting
3. Click outside or press Escape to exit edit mode

Styling text objects

Beyond text formatting, text objects support:

• Background color: Add a background behind text
• Border: Add a border around the text box
• Shadow: Apply drop shadow effects
• Opacity: Control transparency
• Rotation: Rotate the text object

These properties are set on the object level, not the text level.

Multi-line text

Press Enter to create line breaks within a text object. Each text object can contain multiple lines of text.

Text in animations

Text objects animate like any other object when using Magic Match transitions:

• Position changes create movement
• Size changes create scaling effects
• Opacity changes create fade effects

The text content itself doesn't animate—only the object properties do.

Tips

• Contrast: Ensure text is readable against your background
• Size: Use larger text for titles, smaller for details
• Consistency: Use the same fonts and sizes throughout your project
• Spacing: Leave breathing room around text objects
