two fingers, you can create professional titles in minutes.

Notes:
•
When entering a text title, a faint rectangle is
visible in the Preview window. This is the
Title safe area, and it is the recommended
maximum size for your text. Along with the
rectangle, you should see a blinking cursor
that indicates the starting point for text entry.

When entering text, you can press the
Backspace key to correct mistakes and
press the Enter key to start a new line. Move
around the text with the arrow keys as
