changes. Press Ctrl+Z or Command+Z to undo any changes you made.

Grouping properties


It’s hard to tell what the properties currently in the Essential Graphics panel affect. You could
change each of their names to make their effect clear, but it’s easier to group them. You’ll create
groups for properties related to the episode title and those related to the background effect.


1. Choose Add Group from the menu at the bottom of the Essential Graphics panel. (By
default, it says Add Formatting.)

2. Name the group Episode title, and then drag the Episode title and Episode title position
properties into the group. The Size slider travels with the Episode title property.
3. Deselect all properties, choose Add Group from the menu again, and then name the new
group Background effect.
4. Drag the Saturation, Lightness, and Amount of Noise properties into the Background effect
group.
