Creating and Adding a Title Clip
When you’re creating a title clip for a sequence, you can create a basic title or specify
more options, including the font, size, alignment, and more advanced options such as
automatic kerning. Once you create the title clip, you add it the same way you would
edit any clip into your sequence.
Note: Generated text clips always adopt the frame size of the sequences they’re
edited into.
Text Creates a static element of text.
This generator allows
carriage returns. Â The font, size, style, alignment,
and color of the generated
text can be modified. These
controls modify the entire text
element at once. Tracking,
Leading, and Aspect sliders
allow you to control the layout
of the generated text and can
be keyframed to create
interesting effects.
 Select the Auto Kerning
checkbox to kern your text
automatically so that the
spacing between the individual
letters of your text is correct.
Select the Use Subpixel
checkbox to render your text
with subpixel accuracy.
Typewriter Generates text that appears
as if typed onto the screen, one
character at a time. This generator
allows carriage returns. Â The Location slider moves the
text element up and down in
the frame, and the Indent slider
moves it from side to side.
 The Pause slider increases or
decreases the amount of time
it takes for each character to
appear onscreen.
