Chapter 10. Using Title Deko

It's easy to overlook the significance good titles can bring to your video productions, but like most elements of video editing, a title works best as an enhancement rather than as a glaring object on the screen. Therefore, before you can move on to being creative, you need to understand at least the basic fundamentals of title creation.

In Liquid Edition 6, you can make titles using any image creation program, but generally speaking, most are created using Title Deko, which has been supplied with a number of different NLE packages in a variety of formats over the years. It's a relatively easy program to use, and although it's beginning to look a little dated, it still packs a significant punch.

In this chapter, you learn how to create a basic title, adjust it using the templates available, and finally, add movement and backgrounds to enhance the title's visual appeal.
