SRAM VIDEOSTUDIO USER GUIDE 89 Adding text Ulead VideoStudio allows you to add text either in multiple text boxes or in a single text box. Using multiple text boxes gives you the flexibility to position the different words of your text anywhere on the video frame and allows you to arrange the stacking order of the text. Use a single text box when you are creating opening titles and end credits for your projects. In the Options Panel, select Multiple titles. Use the buttons in the Navigation Panel to scan your movie and select the frame where you want to add the title. Double-click the Preview Window and type in your text. · To see how the title appears on the underlying video clip, select the title clip and then click Play Trimmed Clip or drag the Jog Slider. Tip: When you are creating multiple title clips that share the same attributes such as font type and style, it is a good rule of thumb to store one copy of your title clip in the Library. (Just drag and drop the title clip from the Timeline into the Library. ) This way, you can easily duplicate the title clip (by dragging it from the Library back onto the Title Track) and then change the title. Modifying text attributes Modify the attributes of your text, such as font face, style, size, and more, by using the available settings in the Options Panel. More options allow you to set the style and alignment, apply a Border, Shadow and Transparency and add a Text backdrop to your text.

Click to open the Text Backdrop dialog box to select whether to use a solid or gradient color and to set the transparency of the text backdrop.
