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 Chapter 51,
“
Working with Freeze Frames and Still Images ,” on page 791 for a number of useful
things to consider when importing still images and photographs into your movie.
 Using LiveType titles: You can create many different kinds of titles in LiveType and
import them directly into Final Cut Express. For more information, see “ Using
LiveType to Create Titles for Your Project ,” next.
