Is it possible to resise a title?

Because I'm working with my credits at the end of my video, and I want to show bloopers on the left and my credits on the right but i cant slide my credits? please help.

[PDtoots]

@707hihi707 Yes you can :) Resize the text so it fits on half the screen, then grab the text box & move it where you want. Have a look at a little toot called "Credits" by ynotfish77 - that exactly what I did in that! The only difference is that (with yours) one side of the screen will have your bloopers.

In the beginning you have what seems to be a changing gradient for your text color, how is that achieved?

[PDtoots]

@videogamecraver1 You mean on the opening title? That is a title board (with the words/letters made transparent) with a generic video clip placed behind it. Send us a PM & we can help you further with that.

I'm using v3.5.8 version and I'm having difficulty. Is there anyway to do it in PD8 or can you walk me through the steps.

@PDtoots Thanks

[PDtoots]

@saints4fs Plenty of our tutorials do that...

1. Make part of the still image transparent (just like in this toot)

2. Insert video into a track

3. Insert still image into a track below it (so the image is on top)

4. Resize video clip & still image to match

5. Apply any masking needed to video clip

If you look at the Frame Fitting toot on my ynotfish77 channel - the same thing applies to video clips or images.
