"Alright let's add some smoke to our text. The way we're going to add smoke to our text, as you see here, we already have it selected. What we're going to do is we're going to come up here and we're going to hit filter and let's go to Render, and let's render some clouds inside there. And it's going to ask you, it says the text must be rasterized before proceeding. Hit OK, that saves you from having to rasterize it manually. So now let's hit, let's add some different clouds in here. So let's go to Filter, let's go to Render, difference clouds like so. What I'm going to do is hit control F, what it's going to do, it's going to keep rendering it until I get something I like. Actually I kind of like this one. So let's leave this right here. What I'm going to do now is add another filter. Let's go to Filter, let's see, let's go down to brush strokes, and let's say accent edges. There we go and as you can see our options come up here and what we'll do is we'll have a look at our options in our next section. So let's stop here and pick it back up in our next part."
