A Couple Of Beginner Questions

[Rob2381989551zx]

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!)

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.

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.
