Some of these operations can be quite complex, however,
the basics are not difficult to master.
To access Titling in Final Cut Pro go to the Effects tab
and locate Video Generators.
■
1
Click the triangle to the left of Video Generators
to reveal a list of options.

2
Click the triangle next to Text - this will reveal a
list of possible options to choose from.
Note: for really fancy titles look towards Livetype which
is separate application bundled with Final Cut Studio.
Livetype is specifically designed for complex text
creation and is fully capable of making titles
comparable to those seen on network television.
For the moment choose the fifth option - Text.
■
3
Click on the Text Generator and drag it onto the V2 track in the Timeline
where you want the Text to be positioned. Make sure you release it with
a vertical arrow pointing downwards, thus performing an Overwrite Edit.
■
4
Double click the
Text Generator on
the second video
track - this will
load the Text into
the Viewer. If
your computer is
capable of RT Extreme a green line will sit above the line of text in the
Timeline indicating the result will play in real time. Otherwise, you will
see a red line indicating that rendering is required.
