Adjust titles in Final Cut Pro
You can edit text in the viewer or in the Text inspector, and you can adjust a title’s
appearance using the Title and Video inspectors. For example, you can adjust a title’s
opacity or modify the text’s font, alignment, color, glow, and drop shadow.
Edit title text
1. In Final Cut Pro, do one of the following:
• Select a title clip in the timeline, then move the playhead over the selected title clip.
• Double-click a title clip in the timeline.
The title appears in the viewer, and the text in the first text object in the title clip is
selected. The playhead moves to the point in the timeline where the first text object
is fully visible in the viewer. (For example, to make the animated text you’re editing
visible in the viewer, you may need to move the playhead to a different point in the
animation.)
2. Do one of the following:
• Double-click a text object in the viewer.
• Select the text in the Text inspector.
3. Edit the text.
4. To exit text editing, press Command-Return.
Adjust a title’s position onscreen
