Creating Titles and Credits
You can add the finishing touch to your movie by
creating titles and credits.
In Final Cut Express HD, you create titles and credits using video generators. Unlike
filters, video generators are not effects that you apply to clips in your project. Instead,
video generators are synthesized clips created by Final Cut Express HD. You
superimpose your created title clips over the existing video clips in the Timeline. To
create titles, Final Cut Express HD uses the Text generator.
To open the Text generator:
1 Open the Generator pop-up menu at the bottom-right corner of the Viewer.
2 Choose Text, then Text from the submenu.
3 Click the Controls tab in the Viewer to access the generator’s controls.
