  Changing background color on title slides FCPX

  Posted by Mark Corrigan on November 24, 2015 at 10:45 pm

  Hi. How do I change the background color of title slides? I understand how to manipulate the text in various ways when I use the title on existing video, but when I create free standing title slide, it comes with the stock black background. I am sure there is a simple answer, but I am flummoxed! Mark

  I thought the basic title was on a transparent background which would appear black if you placed it on the primary storyline but if you placed a generated color background on the primary storyline and attach a title above it as a connected clip, I believe you would have the colored background you are looking for.

  Open the Generators browser and select the Solids category and then drag and drop the color you want into the timeline.
