- [Instructor] Here is how we can apply
a freeform gradient to type.
While linear gradients and radial gradients
can be applied to live type, a freeform gradient
requires that you first convert the type to outlines.
I'll now come to my gradient panel,
and for the gradient type, choose freeform
I'll come and choose my gradient tool.
I can click on any of these color circles
and change their position and change their color.
To add in additional points, just click anywhere
on your object and then apply the color.
And you can determine how one color transitions
into another by adjusting this dotted circle
that appears around the gradient point.
