![]() ![]() The next thing to do is I want to select my first piece of text and just notice that you can drag this around the screen. Now, when you're done with a title, or these fields, you can actually press the escape key to exit and just see how that looks without the overlays that are currently being on the text. We can actually even increase the tracking above a hundred percent if we needed to just to have it close to matching that width. And I'll also increase the size so that the Canada text roughly matches the width of the Nova Scotia text. So that, that fills a bit better on the screen here. One thing we can do is increase the tracking in this instance. Let's make some changes to this text by highlighting it, and I'll draw your attention on the right hand side where we have all of its properties showing up in the inspector. I'll click on the right one to go to the next text layer, and I'll type in the words, Canada. And a quick way of moving there is to use these arrows on the top left hand corner of your viewer. So, this happens to be in Nova Scotia, and we're going to make the subtitle Canada. I'm going to double click on the title in the viewer and we can change it directly here. We see the title actually, kind of, scales up gently and then scales out before it leaves, not to mention it leaves the background blurry, which can be really handy sometimes when introducing a story. In fact, if I move to the beginning and press the space bar. Let's preview this because there's some animation in it. Use my skimmer to then click, and move my play head to the beginning, select the pull focus text again, and then double click. I'll actually press command Z to undo that. In my case, this was not right at the beginning of the clip. In fact, if you take this title and double click it, notice that it is now connected at the point of where that playhead was. There's a little trick to get it in right where your playhead is. We're going to want to add this pull focus title to the timeline. Very similar to what we did with effects. Let's take a look at the bumper opener category, and if you're looking to preview a title, you can skim over it to get a sense for what it does. If we click the disclosure triangle next to titles, we'll see a number of categories where we can select titles for various needs. And on the top left hand corner here, this is where the title and generator sidebar is. ![]() I'll press shift Z, just to fit all of the clips in my timeline a little bit better, now that we have that extra real estate. The shortcut for that actually happens to be command five. So, that's clicking on the top left hand corner. Since we're not going to be using the effects browser right now, we can actually close it. To follow along, we're in the chapter 11 event, and I have the chapter 11 underscore one project open in the timeline. Earlier in this course, if you stood with me during the quick start chapter, we got a sneak peek of how we could add titles to a project. This chapter is all about getting familiar with titles and generators inside of Final Cut Pro. ![]()
