Add 3D titles to a project
Add 3D titles in Final Cut Pro
Add a 3D title the same way you would add a 2D text title. For details (including alternative
ways to add titles), see
Add titles in Final Cut Pro.
1. In the Final Cut Pro timeline, position the playhead where you want to add the title.
2. Click the Titles and Generators button in the top-left corner of the Final Cut Pro window.
3. Select a 3D titles category in the Titles and Generators sidebar.
The titles in that category appear in the browser.
4. Do any of the following:
• Add a 3D title to a project clip: Double-click the title in the browser.
The title clip is connected to the clip in the primary storyline at the position of the
playhead and appears superimposed over that clip. If the playhead isn’t over a clip,
the title is superimposed over the default background.
• Add a title between clips in the timeline: Drag the title from the browser to the edit
point between the clips where you want the title clip to appear.
• Replace an existing timeline clip with a 3D title: Drag a title from the browser to the
clip in the timeline that you want to replace, then choose Replace.
