Adding a Title to a Sequence

You add a title to your sequence the same way in which you add a clip.

To add your title to a sequence:

1

In the Timeline, set your Destination track to V3 by dragging the V1 Source control to
the Destination control on track V3.

2

Set the In and Out points where you want your title to begin and end by pressing I where
you want the title to start in your sequence and O where you want the title to end.

3

Place the playhead at the In point.

4

Click the Video tab in the Viewer.

5

Control-click the scrubber bar, then choose Clear Out to remove the Out point on the
title clip.

Removing the Out point ensures the title clip has enough content to fill the space
between the In and Out points set in the Timeline.

Drag the Source control

to destination track V3.

Set the In and Out points for
the duration of the title clip.
