About titles
You can open the title view and start a new title by using a menu command. Titles are embedded in the project file
rather than being saved as independent files. Titles open in the Monitor panel. Reopen a title when you want to
change it or when you want to duplicate it and base a new version on it. If you want to use a title in another project,
you must open its project and export the title by using the File > Export > Title command. Then you can import it
into another project as you would any other source file.
To create a new title:
1. Choose File > New > Title.
Note: You can also click the Title button in the Monitor.
A title appears centered on the currently chosen clip
(Figure 2).
2. Make one or more of the following changes using the
Drawing tools in the right margin of the Monitor
(Figure 3):
• Click the Selection tool to change the location of
the text.
• Click the Type tool to change the wording of the
text.
• Click the Color Properties tool to change the color
of the text.
3. Use the Text Options section of the Tasks panel
(Figure 4) to change one or more of the following
attributes of the text:
• Font or font style
• Size
• Alignment
Note: You can also select from a set of preformatted
styles in the Text Styles section.
When you are finished, you can resume other editing
tasks or repeat the preceding steps to create more titles.
Note: By default, titles are added with a duration of five
seconds. To increase or decrease the amount of time that
text displays, drag its borders in the Timeline.
