Titling

[Tom Wolsky]

Drag out the text block in timeline to make it longer.

All the best,

Believe me I tried. I only dragged the title to a new location. Help!

[Tom Wolsky]

Make sure the selection tool is active. If necessary zoom into the end of the title.

How long a title are we talking about? If it’s really long you need to set the duration before you put it in the timeline. Drag it back to the browser. Delete it from the sequence. Open it from the browser and dial in a new long duration, longer than you need. Try that.

All the best,

Tom

The scrolling is about 3-4 minutes long. I’ve never set a duration before. Just how do I go about that?

Thanks,
Bill

The duration box in the upper left corner of the the title when you open it from the browser into the viewer. Same as any other clip. You can also do it in the browser in the Duration column.

All the best,
