Insert Title
Switch to the text module by clicking the "Title and Text" button.
The text entry field can be used to write the text that should appear above the
selected object.
• If you would like the text to appear on its own before the video footage appears,
simply click on "New title".
• You can format the text using the "Font and appearance" options. The three
buttons next to it position your text, either left justified, centered or right
justified.
• Use the arrow keys from "Position" to place it precisely on the screen.
• "Animation" creates moving titles. To create closing credits, select the
animation "From bottom to top".
• "Display time", "Fade-in", and "Fade-out" enable you to control the display
behavior of the title during playback. The display always starts at the beginning
of the selected object. If the title should be displayed somewhere other than the
start, cut it at the desired start point and select the back part.
Insert Transitions
Transitions are fades between objects. Normally, a so-called "Hard Cut" is made
between objects: The first image of the following object appears directly at the end of
the previous object, i.e. without any special fade effect.
However, you are free to select a transition if you would like to add one.
• Click on the plus symbol between two objects to open the transition dialog.
