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 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 stills 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 17, “
Working With
Still Images and Photographs ,” on page 335 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 Pro. For more information, see “ Using LiveType to
Create Titles for Your Project ,” next.
 Using titles created in Motion: Motion allows you to create complex text animations,
and supports LiveFonts.
