The Titler is a versatile tool enabling you to create, not just titles and credits, but animated composites as well.
The Titler is a collection of related panels. You can close the panels within the Titler without closing the Titler. You can dock the panels to each
other or to other parts of the interface. When the panels are not docked to the main workspace, they appear over the other panels, or float.
You can load more than one title into the Titler. You can choose the title you want to view by choosing its name in the Title tab menu. You can
reopen a title when you want to change it or to duplicate it and base a new version on it.
For a video tutorial introducing the Titler, see the Adobe website .
