Creating Titles with Avid Marquee
Practice Your Skills
1. In Media Composer, open the Titles bin in the Chapter 9 exercise folder.
2. In Marquee, select File > Open or File > Open Recent to retrieve
your version of the finished TW_lower_third_3 title file. If you did not
complete the previous exercises, you can open the TW_lower_third_3
title in the Avid Marquee title versions folder provided on the DVD that
accompanies this book.
3. When the title loads, select File > Save to Bin. Type a name for the title
TW_lower_third in the Title Name text box, and leave the other boxes
deselected. Click OK.
4. After the title is rendered, switch to Media Composer. In the Save
Title dialog box, choose a bin, drive, and resolution from the menus.
Click Save.
5. Return to Marquee. Repeat steps 1–3 to save the other two titles—
DMS_lower_third and YC_lower_third—to your Media Composer
titles bin.

6. Load the TW_lower_third title into the Source monitor. Place the posi-
tion indicator a couple of seconds from the beginning of the clip, and
mark an IN.
7. Click in the Timeline and press Ctrl+Y (Windows) or Command+Y
(Macintosh) to create another video track.
8. Patch V1 on the Source side to V2 on the Record side. Select V1 on
the source and V2 on the Record, and deselect all other tracks.
9. In the Timeline, mark an IN and an OUT around a three-second portion
of the first clip of Tony. You should now be set up for a three-point edit.
10. Overwrite the title clip into the sequence.
11. Place the position indicator in the title segment, and make sure V2
is selected.
TI P If you like, you
can revise the titles in
Marquee. Perhaps you’d
like to change the color,
placement, or size of
your text or shapes. If
so, make sure V2 is
selected, place the posi-
tion indicator in the title
segment, and then click
the Effect Mode button.
Select Edit Title to revise
your title in Marquee.
When you’re finished
changing the title, close
Marquee, and select Save
to Bin. The modified ver-
sion of the title appears
in your bin in the Source
monitor and is replaced
in the sequence.
