Once you’ve created your text generator clip, you can add it to your sequence. For more
specific information, see

“The Fundamentals of Adding Clips to a Sequence.”

To add the title clip to your sequence

1

In your sequence in the Timeline, set your destination track.

If you place the title clip on a track that’s above another track, the lower clip appears as
the background to the title.

2

Set the sequence or clip In and Out points.

3

Click the Video tab in the Viewer, then drag the title clip from the Viewer to the Canvas
or Timeline.

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

“Working

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.
