Where's the title?? Can't seem to find it

[lownotes]

I just dowloaded MSP 8 demo and for some reason I can't see my titles after I create them.

I've imported a few small avi's into track 1. Clicked the T icon and/or insert title from the menu. Title editor pops up and I create a title, extend duration 30secs. Click OK, hear the drive crunch for a sec and then I don't see anything. If I preview the movie I don't see any titles either. Online help says it should be in Track 2 but that's clear.

Am I missing something here.

Thanks,

After you created your title, did you "drop" the title into track 2? MSP will not just add the title to the track.

Once you close the titler, if you're mouse is not over a video track, you should see your cursor as a 0 with a line through it. Mouse over a video track and you will see a small black box at the end of your cursor. Drop that onto a video track, preferably above your video. Now you should be able to see your title...

That was it.

As a side note, that is the behavior of MSP, whether it's a title clip, color clip, video clip etc. Aslo note, MSP treats titles AS clips, so you can do just anything you want with them.

I will add MSP treating them as clips is a good thing. In VS you can not add special effects, like Video Filters to your title clips. MSP you can. So I'd say you can do more to titles in MSP.
