TITLE 57
Putting it all together
To create a long list of credits in a production, it is necessary to insert a series of title clips
into the Timeline.
To create extended credits:
1. Start by creating one clip with multiple lines
of text.
2. Drag a copy of the Title clip from the
Timeline to the Library. This is the easiest
way to maintain consistency on each title’s
attributes.
3. Drag title copies from the Library back to
the Timeline to create new titles.
4. Modify the text in the copied title.
5. Repeat this procedure until all credits have
been added.
Fading in & out
Another incredibly useful, easy, and effective method of displaying your titles is to fade your
text in from invisible to crisp and clear and then back to invisible again. This works especially
well for opening credits with a slow fade, or as captions with a quicker fade.
To create fading titles:
1. Select a text title or create a new one.
2. On the Animation Tab in the Options Panel,
select Fade from the Type drop-down list.
3. Select a fading option. (Cross fade makes the
title gradually appear and then disappear.)
4. Specify a Pause setting (No Pause, Short,
Medium, or Long).
5. Click Apply.
•
Start and End positions Determine from
what position the title starts to move in and
the final destination where it scrolls out.
4. Specify a Pause setting (No Pause, Short,
Medium, or Long). This makes the title move
into the scene, pause for a moment, and then
scroll out of the scene.
5. Click Apply.
