Show video behind the title

If you are creating a title for a specific segment of your movie, for example, to name a scene or identify a person, you can view a frame of that footage in the drawing area as you create the title. Viewing the frame helps you place elements in your title. The video frame is for your reference only; it is not saved as part of the title.

Use the timecode controls in the Titler to specify the frame you want to display. The time display corresponds to the current time in the active sequence. Therefore, setting the frame in the Titler also sets the current frame in the Program Monitor and Timeline panel, and vice versa.

If you want to superimpose a title over another clip, add the title to the track directly above the clip. The title’s background becomes transparent, revealing the image of clips in lower tracks.
