Are you the youTube megastar "Casually Explained"?

[@supportcake]

It's been a long time since I edited text in Illustrator and I'm having to start again. This showed me exactly what I needed to know, and now I'm confident I can do it easily. Thank you!

[@xthiana]

This was great! I had something to amend urgently and just the realization that the new version makes everything easier was great help!

[@d0419l-l2j]

Thank you so much for explaining. There are other youtubers who make loads of videos but they don't explain anything and seemingly click and shortcut their way to amazing things, and I'm just here lost thinking "How did they do this...?"

Hello there. Thank you for a great video, however, this didn't cover what I was actually looking for. I see that there are other comments asking the same. I'm wanting to know how to edit the specific text. Double click on it, yes, I got that. But what I'm wondering..... I have a vector image with a sentence that contains 5 words. I didn't create this, I had someone do it for me. So I want to manipulate some of the text, just making it bigger and moving it. I don't really want to have to change each letter separately. Is there a way to grab an entire word at once and make that bigger? I never got the sizing and display options that you showed over on the right side either. My text is over a background as well which might add more complexity. Thank you in advance.

Can you please guide me how to change the placeholder text? I keep on clicking the text box but I can't change it. TIA.

[@PixelAndBracketIllustrator]

[@joejoe5500]

[@phoenixvu2274]

how do i add each color for word?

[@FeonaLeeJones]

what about have text be ontop of another thing?

[@PixelAndBracketIllustrator]

Right click the text and select “bring to front”

[@umutcemkartal1909]

Thank you so much❤

[@anasosama7558]

what if the available paragraph does not have a character section and each letter is on different layer ?

[@LifesAGambleLAG]

no fat at all. great video

[@robo2901]

Everything except how to actually edit the text in a pre-existing text box.

[@mars2165]

exactly what I was wondering... Surely it's not this difficult?

[@PixelAndBracketIllustrator]

Double click it or use the type tool (shortcut T)

[@minecraftrotisseriechicken]

@@PixelAndBracketIllustrator No longer works

[@BrandonGreenShow]

@@minecraftrotisseriechicken how do you do it?

[@Venice_Show]

Lame that you need 2 ads to get started learning.

[@PixelAndBracketIllustrator]

Have you watched KZbin before?

[@Venice_Show]

@@PixelAndBracketIllustrator Yes, i click away from the greedy content providers that feel the need to ad me to death when their content is just mediocre.

[@PixelAndBracketIllustrator]

KZbin runs ads on all videos on the platform, and controls the amount you see

[@Intestingpoems]

hi

[@minecraftrotisseriechicken]

yeah and HOW EXACTLY DO WE GET "POINT TYPE" I only have 3 type options. this app is unintuitive as fuck.

[@dfelton316]

This is adding text not editing text. It's very good, but not what I would consider editing text. I would consider editing text to modify existing text in AI template for example. Thanks anyway!

[@catdsnny]

But how do you actually "edit the text" LOL

[@PixelAndBracketIllustrator]

use the type tool or double-click on the text

[@minecraftrotisseriechicken]

@@PixelAndBracketIllustrator Doesn't work anymore

[@CadManic]

I hate this stupid program
