2. In the toolbar above the Monitor window, click the Safe Action/Title button.
3. In the toolbox, select the Text tool button.
4. Start typing a title. Because this exercise is just for practice, you can

people in scene. (Just choose one for now.)
These are the people who will need a lower-third title:

 Dr. Michael Shannon, Drosselmeyer
 Yo -e l Ca ss e ll , Mi ni - Me y er
