Creating Titles with Avid Marquee
About Avid Marquee
Marquee is a separate title and graphics animation program that opens
within Media Composer. It can function as a 3D motion graphics creation
tool; however, it can also be used for designing simple titles with text and
shapes, which is how you’ll use it in this book.
To open Avid Marquee:
1. Place the position indicator within the shot where you want to place
your title.
2. Select Tools > Title Tool.
The New Title dialog box appears.
3. Click Marquee.
If you want to always open Marquee, select the Persist? check box.
(You can always change this option in the Marquee Title settings.)

While using Marquee, Avid Media Composer will not autosave your
project or bins. You must manually save any bins that you changed
since the last autosave.

raster size you want for your title.

Marquee titles can be saved over a colored background or keyed over
video. When you create titles for keying over video, they carry trans-
parency information (an alpha channel) to Media Composer, which
makes the pixels surrounding the text or shapes transparent to the
underlying video.
NOTE The New Title
dialog box also lists the
Title tool as an option.
The capabilities of the
Title tool are much less
extensive than those of
Marquee, but you might
find it useful to create
simple static titles.
