 Today we're going to be looking at something that I've mentioned a few times in previous videos again This is part of a series. Be sure to check out the link in the description for the full playlist And I want to speak badly. It's it works fine for what it does It's but it's not one of my favorite features of came live Although I do use it Regularly for for credits in a video and or just basic text is the title clip editor It actually does a fairly good job. It's just never looks that great But basically we're going to generate some text a so let's go ahead I'm going to right-click up here or click on this drop down here and choose Add title clip now right away you have a black screen now you can generate a Title clip with different color backgrounds black or Otherwise, but let's say you want to be able to Put text over an image first of all, let's go ahead and hit cancel here Let's clip somewhere in the middle here, and now I'm going to go back and say add title clip now I can click show background. You still don't see it though. We go here to background We're going to make the opacity zero now you can see the background and now I can click in here And I can start typing www.filmsbychrist.com and There we go. We have it in black. I can Grab it and move it around I can change the font size the font color I can change the font itself to any font that I have installed on my system I can also so one of the things I guess I should tell you is you know sometimes like if I put it over my hair there It's black. So let's say you wanted to subtitle so so basically a tight clip editor is good for credits small words at the bottom of the screen like Subtitles late so you're translating something and a big mistake with subtitles is lots of times I mean movies that don't put any care into it will Have like white like this, but then You'll have something like that where it's white in the background. You can't read it I think that was a skit in Austin Powers wasn't it? so One way to avoid that issue and making your font So you don't know whether the video is gonna be black or white in the background is to add a border around it So the way we do that Well, you can always add a shadow, but that's not really what I'm talking about Somewhere They moved it since last I used it Where did that go? They really have moved a lot of stuff around here in the last release Like right there right in front of me. It used to be up here I think anyway choose a color which if you're using white text you probably want a black outline So make that black and then you can start bumping this up until you start seeing if you look at my font now It now has a black outline So if I was to put that to zero again It's almost impossible to read in front of the window here But if I put an outline of in this case about 25 And I think we'll make a difference on the resolution of your video now It doesn't matter whether you're against a black background or white background. You can still read that text Now just like pan and zoom you can center your text Right justify left justify top bottom so you can put it down here We can center it here. So if you wanted at the bottom center, you would or let's say the top center You would say top and center or if you went at the bottom, you'd say bottom and center and it's centered there So that's that's pretty cool another option. You know you can use a gradient and You can choose different colors. Let's choose a red here You can choose where the colors fade from and you can also choose the angle I think I quickly showed that in an earlier video so there's that Again font you can underline italicize and letter spacing so you can put bigger spaces between the letters Line spacing if you have multiple lines and these can be multiple lines If you do adjustments like that, you're going to want to center it again if you want centered If you do have multiple lines, you can well, let's see Let's add a new piece of text here Oops just added two anyway blah blah blah enter blah blah enter blah blah enter blah blah So right now everything is left justified or left aligned We can center the text inside that box or put it to the right of that box If we wanted it centered centered We would center the text here and then also center it here and here and now it's centered on the screen If you want you can choose one and hit delete Choose another hit delete Well, and then there I was actually glided a word Sometimes What I find difficult about editing text in here is okay. I can grab this to move it around now if I want to edit it There we go. It's I sometimes it's hard to figure out whether you're editing the text or moving the text So that's one of my my complaints about it But really the interface is great. What does is great. It's just it doesn't really create anything spectacular So again, it'd be good for subtitles or credits really Another thing you can do. So let's go back to our background here. Turn the opacity back up to 255 So we have a black background. You can change the background to a different color. So Turn this up turn this here. Okay, so I have a blue background or a pink background and we'll go back to black So You can have different color backgrounds that's centered. That's not centered. Let's see centered centered. There we go Now animations, this is kind of useful if you are going to just use this and maybe as an outgoing text to a video Having it kind of zoom in or out. I always find kind of so let's go ahead and just click either start or end Depending on whether you want to zoom it in or out So I can do this and you can see both of these here and by default these clips are five seconds long and you can change that up here But I can grab this and I can zoom it down So this is our end clip and then I can use this I can center this and What's going to happen now is so the camera is zoomed out and then it zooms in so now if I click okay, I Can drag this here and as we watch you can see Oh, it slowly zooms in over the five seconds and that looks pretty good if you add in a From black to black make them a little bit shorter. So now it kind of fades in Fades out and I do do that a lot with just plain white text I won't usually make it all rainbow colored like that. Now. I just deleted that little overlay. That's that's If if I wanted the transparency to the next video underneath it So let's go ahead and go back into our our clip here by double-clicking it Go back to our background and set the opacity to zero again and click show Background we can click okay, and now when I drag it here We can see me behind it with this text zooming in and this is what's allowing that if I remove that Oh, it does still do it. I don't know what that's for then Just to be honest with you But yeah, so this is the title clip editor if you just need to do quick and easy text It's the way to go if you want to have a nice intro I recommend generating text somewhere else either blender or that cool text website I showed you in the previous video or design it yourself in like gimp or Was it draw is that what it's called in LibreOffice, you know if you're gonna work with that CVS files or CVG files I mean So yeah, I hope that that's a quick overview you could also do Let me go back in here something I haven't done much, but I know you can do Show background. Actually, let's make the background black again. Let's Delete this text. Can I delete this text? There we go Okay, well, that's center that center it center it and Let's see simple scroll. So there are presets here. Oh, I guess it will load a new template I guess you have to do that first So text here, let's do that again And I'm assuming Put this here now the text is going to scroll the screen So if you want and credits you can use that template there's I haven't really played around with these templates. So you have scrolling Simple with date and simple. Let's see what simple is Simple just seems to be playing text. I don't know if it does any type of animation. Oh It does it kind of Scrolls from the center. Let me add a new title clip right now I'm just no right now. I'm just playing around Like I said, I I Looked at this stuff a while ago Center Center Center. Oh, that's right. I got to choose a template first Simple with date. Yes. Oh, look at that little that's actually kind of nice if you want to have some sort of you know Who's talking? Chris smart guy And then the date we can say 2016 Whatever today's date is I don't even know what today's date is. I guess it's 21st. Oh, whatever Blah blah blah confused me that they put the year first. Anyway Okay And now I'm probably getting boring. So there we go. That's nice a little Underscreen thing there. I would personally make an image in Gimp to do something like that and make it look a little bit nicer, but if you need to do it quick, there you go So that is it for this this video. It's been 11 minutes. So it's hasn't been that long So that was the title clip editor again something I wanted to show you does come in handy I actually do use it all the time again just to like give credit for when I use creative commons music that I've Attribute somebody in or if I'm doing home videos and I just want to put the date So I remember when we went on that trip or when my kids did something But if I was going to do a real like text intro To something to a video I would probably create it in Blender is what I normally do but That's it again.
