To add the title clip to your sequence:
1 In your sequence in the Timeline, set your destination track.
If you place the title clip on a track that’s above another track, the lower clip appears as
the background to the title.
2 Set the sequence or clip In and Out points.
3 Click the Video tab in the Viewer, then drag the title clip from the Viewer to the Canvas
or Timeline.
Other Options for Creating and Adding Titles
If a title you have in mind is something you can’t create with the available text generators,
you can use other methods to create titles and incorporate them into your sequence:
 Using Photoshop files or still images for titles: If a title you really want is best created in
another application such as Photoshop, you can create it there and add it to your
sequence as a still image. An easy way to bring an image file into your sequence is to
simply drag it from your desktop to a project tab or bin in the Browser. See Chapter 51,
“Working with Freeze Frames and Still Images,” on page 791 for a number of useful
things to consider when importing still images and photographs into your movie.
 Using LiveType titles: You can create many different kinds of titles in LiveType and
import them directly into Final Cut Express. For more information, see “Using
LiveType to Create Titles for Your Project,” next.
