The Colour/Visual effects tool can be applied to still

Still image clips of all types – graphics, photos, titles
and menus – can be edited in the Title Editor (see
Chapter 7: The Title Editor). There are three ways to
begin editing an image clip in the Title Editor:
• Double-click the clip in any Movie Window view
• Right-click the clip and choose Go to Title/Menu
Editor from the pop-up menu (Timeline view), or
Edit Title Overlay (Storyboard and List views).
• Open the Clip properties tool (see below) and click
the Edit Title button.

invokes the Clip properties tool for the selected clip.

• To set the length of time the still image is displayed,
change the value in the Duration counter.
• The Name text field lets you assign a custom name to

The Name field is provided on the Clip properties
tool for all clip types. Clip names are used by the
Movie Window’s Text view, and can also be viewed
