You can click Close when finished with the current edit, but often you’ll find the Save and Duplicate feature
handy. Click it to store your edits to the current title page, create a clone of item in the playlist, and load the
new page for editing. This is a great way to quickly produce a number of matching pages.
Hint: Press Ctrl + s on the keyboard to perform this ‘save and duplicate’ operation without using the mouse.
Similarly, PageUp and PageDown keys perform Previous and Next operations.
The Prev and Next Title buttons let you store your changes and move to another title page in the playlist
without the tedium of closing the Title Edit pane.

Images embedded in Title Pages may be locked, or they may be editable stand-ins. When you roll the mouse
over an embedded image and a white border is displayed around the image, the image is a stand-in . Click a
stand-in to open the Media Browser and select a replacement image file (hold Shift while clicking to use the
system file explorer instead).

If, instead, you right-click a stand-in image, a context menu lets you select one of several optional methods of
fitting the source image to its frame. Choosing
Stretch causes the image to completely fill the frame. Fill Area
retains the intere sted image’s original aspect, cropping if nece ssary to fit inside the frame.
Show All Image also retains the original image aspect but fits the entire source image inside the frame (which
may result in ‘pillar - boxing’ or ‘letter - boxing’). This menu also allows you to open the Image Properties panel
(Figure 160). It provides the same set of Fill Mode options but adds an Image Source box supporting direct
entry. The Image Source box comes into play in connection with the next (extremely important) topic –
