Create a title based on the current title
1 In the Titler, open or select the title on which you want to base a new title.
2 In the Title Quick Properties panel, click New Title Based On Current Title .

5 Close the Titler or save the project to save the title.
Open a title in the active project
❖ Double-click the title in the Project panel or in the Timeline panel.
Note: Titles open in the Titler, not the Source Monitor.
Show video behind the title
If you are creating a title for a specific segment of your movie, for example, to name a scene or identify a person, you
can view a frame of that footage in the drawing area as you create the title. Viewing the frame helps you place
elements in your title. The video frame is for your reference only; it is not saved as part of the title.
Use the timecode controls in the Titler to specify the frame you want to display. The time display corresponds to
the current time in the active sequence. Therefore, setting the frame in the Titler also sets the current frame in the
Program Monitor and Timeline panel, and vice versa.
If you want to superimpose a title over another clip, add the title to the track directly above the clip. The title’s
background becomes transparent, revealing the image of clips in lower tracks.
❖ In the Titler panel, select Show Video.
• To change the frame interactively, drag the time value next to Show Video until the frame is visible in the drawing area.
• To display the frame by specifying its timecode, click the time value next to Show Video and enter the frame’s
timecode in the active sequence.
Note: The Show Video value uses the same time display format specified in the project settings. For example, if you are
working in a PAL project, the Show Video value represents PAL timecode.
Import a title file
If the title you want to use is on your hard disk but not yet part of the current project, you can import it as you would
any other source file.
1 Choose File > Import.
2 Select a title and click Open.
