Creating Titles
To make the background of a title transparent in the Timeline:
1 Select the clip in the Timeline. If necessary, drag it to a superimposition track (any track
numbered Video 2 or higher).
2 Choose Clip > Video > Transparency.
3 Do one of the following and then click OK:
• If the title has a white background, choose White Alpha Matte from the Key Type menu.
• If the title has a black background, choose Black Alpha Matte from the Key Type menu.
4 To view the title with transparent areas, press Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac OS)
as you drag in the time ruler over the frames you want to examine, or preview the title
(see “Previewing a video program” on page 192).
Note: If the background does not become transparent, double-click the clip in the Timeline to open
it, choose Window > Title Window Options, and make sure Opaque is not selected.
To change the duration of a title in the Timeline, drag its In or Out point, or select the
clip and choose Clip > Duration.
