Other Options for Creating and Adding Titles
If a title you have in mind is something you can’t create with the available text generators,
you can use other methods to create titles and incorporate them into your sequence:
• Using Photoshop files or still images for titles: If a title you really want is best created in
another application such as Photoshop, you can create it there and add it to your
sequence as a still image. An easy way to bring an image file into your sequence is to
simply drag it from your desktop to a project tab or bin in the Browser. See
with Freeze Frames and Still Images”
for a number of useful things to consider when
importing still images and photographs into your movie.
• Using titles created in Motion: Motion supports animated LiveFonts and allows you to
create complex text animations. For more information, see the Motion documentation.
