The Movie Maker Creativity Fun Pack titles are extremely professional looking. After you import them into your Collections pane, look through each of them and preview them in your Monitor pane. You will think of the titles shown in major Hollywood productions when you see what the Movie Maker Creativity Fun Pack gives you.

   TIP

   

   The blank titles ( BlankBackground_Yellow and BlankBackground_Blue ) are available so that you can place your own text over these backgrounds. These backgrounds work well for opening title backgrounds because they are faint enough to allow your audience to read the text on them, but they also move and change to keep your audience's attention.

   You'll want to import all the titles (and end credits) into your Collections pane. Press Ctrl+A to select all the titles and end credits.

   After you import the titles into your collection, you can drag any title to your storyboard/timeline at the start of your movie to place the title in your movie.
