Chapter 3.3g: Creating Titles

1 Choose a Destination

Position your playhead where you would like the title to begin.

2 The Titles Library

Select the Editing menu, and then choose the Titles sub-menu.

There are many to choose from — we're going to demonstrate a basic Centered Title.

3 Create a Centered Title

Select the Centered Title option.

Fill your title/subtitle into the box. You can also customize the color (white is the default).

Choose a font, typeface, and size. If you'd like a second title, use the plus "+" icon (below the color picker).

4 Pace Your Title

The Speed Slider dictates how long it takes for your title to fade in and out. The Pause Slider is the amount of time your title stays, between fading in/out. The Duration is simply the total sum of the Speed and Pause.

Check out the description of Timecode (below) to understand what the Speed and Pause durations actually mean.

5 Preview Your Title

Once you have your variables filled chosen, single click the highlighted title (Centered Title, in this case). Click in the preview window to change the placement of your title.

Any time you change or update your title, just single click the type of title and you'll get a preview.

6 Put Your Title into Your Video

To place your title, simply click Add.

Alternatively, you can drag and drop the title (Centered Title, in this case) onto the timeline.
