Creating titles

Last updated 10/4/2016

Note: Images acquired with a digital still camera tend to be much larger than a video project’s screen size. To resize an

image without distorting it, Shift-drag the image’s corner handle or use the Text > Transform > Scale command.

Place an image in a text box

When you place an image in a text box, the image flows with the text as though it were a text character. It can have the

same attributes as other characters, such as strokes.

1 If necessary, double-click the title in the Expert view timeline to open it in the Monitor panel.

2 In the Adjust panel, click either the Horizontal Type Tool or the Vertical Type Tool.

3 In the Monitor panel, click to create a text box where you want to insert the image.

4 Do one of the following:

• Right-click/ctrl-click the Monitor panel and choose Image > Insert Image Into Text.

• Choose Text > Image > Insert Image Into Text.

5 Select an image and click Open.

Restore an image to its original size or aspect ratio

1 If necessary, double-click the title in the Expert view timeline to open it in the Monitor panel.

2 Select the image and do any of the following:

• Choose Text > Image > Restore Image Size.

• Choose Text > Image > Restore Image Aspect Ratio.

Note: If you want to use an image or moving video as a background only, superimpose the title on a clip of the image or

video.
