Timeline Preview
Text Clips behave differently to video and audio Clips in the Timeline. When a text Clip is moved, the Video Preview
follows. When the move ends Preview reverts to the Playhead Cursor position. In fades editing, the preview
respects the compositing of the Project at the current TimeCode.
In contrast, when moving audio and video Clips, Preview displays the current Playhead Cursor position. In fades
editing, the preview displays only the selected video Clip at the current TimeCode without any other mixed Layer
or Motion Rectangle applied (no compositing).
Layer motion and opacity are not applied to text Clips.
Any font installed on the system can be used.
Add a text Clip in the Timeline will display a red Destination Rectangle for text. Then, Double-click inside this rect-
angle. The text can then be edited in the preview screen. Click outside this rectangle to validate the text.
The Text Properties tab is automatically opened when a text Clip is selected. Text can also be edited in this tab with
additional options for style.
