Hi, folks

 

Brand new to video editing with P.E.

A couple of newbie questions:

 

1) How do I alter the duration of the title (make it shorter)?

2) How do I change the opacity of the title so that it is see-through? (I did it once by accident and remember how I did it!)

- Rather than taking up a long forum page, you can click my link and look
- Plain text file so you will have to copy-paste the links into your web browser

John's list is pretty definitive!

 

But you can also start simply with my 8 part Basic Training tutorials.

 

Part 7 deals specifically with titles. But I've also got more detailed tutorials that show you some fun titling tricks.

If it is a "Classic Title", you grab the ends with your mouse and stretch or shrink the duration.   For opacity, select the title clip and use the opacity slider in the Effects control.
