Help with Titles & Text

[JoeVid]

Hi,

I am using VS to develop some technical training videos. I would like to be able to add some text to the clip, have that display while the video or audio track proceeds then add some more text beneath the existing text. I would like to do this for several blocks of text, leaving each block of text on the screen while the new one is added. However I noticed that there are only two title tracks? Does this limit me to only having two different blocks of text on the screen at one time? It would seem this is possible but I think I am just missing something. Here is an example:

Text:
My Favorite Colors are:
- RED {talk about why red is great for a bit, then....}
- BLUE {add "Blue" text beneath red, talk about it for a bit, then....}
- Green {add "Green" text beneath blue, talk about it for a bit, then... continue on and on....}

Any help, greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Joe.

Make sure you have 'multiple titles' selected in the title creation screen - just put the Red title in the title track 1 and let it run for the required time then stop it - put a new title with Red and green on it into the title track 1 let it run for the required time then stop it - put a title with red, green and blue in title track 1 etc. etc. etc no need to use the second track at all If you just edit your original title each time you add text then the first titles will be in the same place after you add new ones and will not move around the screen when additional colours appear.

Should give you a layout something like this - you can see I have dragged titles back up into the library to edit and add next colour.

Hi Joe

Welcome to the forums

Once you have created the Red, Click the screen again to create a Blue, and again to create the Green.

Change the text colour to match.

Using animation Fly
Select the two TT’s icon for a manual approach.

Or create three seperate titles, one for each colour.

You may be able to take a screen shot of the red title, using the image in the top track.
In project playback Edit-Take a Snapshot, will save an image to the working folder, placing a thumbnail in the library, drag this to the top timeline.
Then create a Blue title.
Then take a snapshot of both red/blue
Repeat for other text colours

Hi

Sorry I think I made it a little complicated, Brian seems to have the right idea.

Just to add, from Preferences (F6) set the default Title duration.

After creating the first title, drag it to the library, this creates a copy.
Drag it back to the timeline adjacent to first, Disable animations for Red, now create Blue text on same title, animate.
Drag to library to create copy of Red/Blue. Drag back to timeline, disable Red/Blue animation, create Green text and so on…………..
