Create a custom text layer?

• A. Type Tool
• B. Pen Tool
• C. Hand Tool
• D. Selection Tool

Answer: (A)

To create a custom text layer, you use the Type Tool because it is the tool designed for adding and editing text directly in your sequence. When you select the Type Tool and click in the Program Monitor (or in the Graphics workspace), you start typing and a new text layer is created on the graphic track. From there, you can customize the text—adjust the font, size, color, alignment, spacing, and other properties—using the Essential Graphics panel. The other tools aren’t meant to create text: the Pen Tool is for drawing shapes or masks, the Hand Tool is for panning around the canvas, and the Selection Tool is for selecting objects. So for a text layer, the Type Tool is the right choice.
