No matter how simple or complex a sequence is, adding a title can give it that personal touch. But creating titles in Final Cut Express isn't just about putting the show's name at the beginning of the sequence. It's about giving your visuals voice, identifying who is talking, creating an impressive roll of credits as in a feature film, and even adding to your sequence other items, such as color backgrounds and shapes, that are generated from within the program.
