60 Chapter 8 Adding Titles and Chapter Markers
Each title style has a different set of options, and each lets you put different amounts of
text on the screen at once. Use the Titles pane, shown below, to add titles to your
movie.
To set up a title:
1 Click the Titles button to open the Titles pane.
2 Select a title style in the list.
3 Type the text you want to appear onscreen in the text fields.
4 Choose the font, text size, and text color.
5 Set the duration sliders.
The Speed slider sets how fast the titles move into and out of the movie. The Pause
slider sets how long the words hold still on the screen (most of the title styles
incorporate word movement or fading in and out).
The title’s duration is shown at the bottom of the preview monitor. This duration
represents how long the title is from beginning to end.
6 If the title style you chose has arrow buttons, click them to select the direction from
which the title should enter the screen.
7 Click Preview to see how your title looks.
