Hi. This is Marty from Blue Lightning TV.

0:00:03.639,0:00:10.619
I'm going to show you how to create fun, glitter-filled
text encased in glass and how to quickly replace

0:00:10.620,0:00:16.380
the text without having to redo the effects.
I'll also show you how to easily change its color.

0:00:16.720,0:00:20.460
This is an update of a tutorial I did quite awhile ago.

0:00:20.460,0:00:23.420
This version is more flexible and efficient.

0:00:25.660,0:00:29.040
I provided this glitter texture, so you can follow along.

0:00:29.040,0:00:34.020
Its link is located in my video's description
or project files below.

0:00:34.420,0:00:40.620
Before we begin, if your foreground and background
colors aren't black and white, respectively,

0:00:40.620,0:00:42.640
press "D" on your keyboard.

0:00:44.360,0:00:51.479
Double-click an empty area of the glitter
layer and when this window pops up, name it, "Glitter".

0:00:54.660,0:00:57.840
Keep in mind, you can use a different texture if you like.

0:00:57.840,0:01:03.740
Just make its resolution 150 pixels per inch,
so your results will look similar to mine.

0:01:04.380,0:01:06.160
Temporarily hide the layer.

0:01:07.020,0:01:13.320
We'll make a new layer below it by Ctrl-clicking
or Cmd-clicking the New Layer icon.

0:01:13.840,0:01:16.720
We'll fill it with a gradient color.

0:01:17.820,0:01:24.500
Open your Gradient Tool and make sure the
Linear Gradient icon is active.

0:01:24.520,0:01:28.720
Click the gradient bar to open the Gradient Editor.

0:01:29.480,0:01:35.200
Click the "Black, White" thumbnail and click
the lower, right Stop.

0:01:36.640,0:01:47.440
Click the color box and in the hexadecimal
field, type in 3642BD.

0:01:47.440,0:01:52.399
Then, press Enter or Return twice to close both windows.

0:01:52.399,0:01:58.479
Place your cursor a bit above the center of
your document and press and hold Shift as

0:01:58.480,0:02:02.780
you drag the gradient tool straight down approximately
this much.

0:02:04.540,0:02:08.640
