Choose one of the following options from the menu: · Miter: Joins path segments using pointed corners. See the below Miter Limit option description for information on adjusting the miter. · Round: Joins path segments using rounded corners. · Bevel: Joins path segments using squared corners. Miter Limit Specifies when the join type switches from mitered (pointed) to bevel (square). The default miter limit is 4, which means that when the length of the point reaches four times the stroke weight, the join type switches from miter to bevel. A miter limit of 1 results in a bevel join. 34 CHAPTER 1 Using the Adobe Title Designer Working with fills, sheens, and textures You can fill any object you create with colors and textures, as well as adjust the fill opacity, sheen, and type.

Twirl Radius Specifies how far the twirl extends from the twirl center. This value is based on a percentage of the maximum horizontal or vertical distance of the clip, whichever is greater. [. . . ]
