Using Title Templates

NewsEdit includes several sample templates that you can modify, which you
can find in the Templates drop-down list. By default, the templates list displays
files located in the

C:\LyricDemo

directory.

If you create additional title templates (in .lyr format) that you wish to appear
in the Templates list, place them in the samples directory or configure
NewsEdit to use a different directory; see “Setting Graphics Options” on page
324 for instructions.

To add a title to your sequence:

1. Make sure that your sequence has a graphics track; if not, you need to add it:

a. With the sequence open, click the

Sequence Properties

button on the

Timeline toolbar.

b. In the Sequence Properties window, check

OK

.

2. Select a template from the Template drop-down list.

The title template appears in the Viewing Window.

3. Make any changes to the title graphic.
