Color background for titles

I'm using PrE10.  when i work on titles the background defaults to a black background.  How can I change it to white or some other color?

The black background that you see for a title file is not the color black. The black represents transparency so that when you have the title on Video track 2 and your image on Video track 1, you see the title overlay on the image.
A few scenario for you to check out
1. Create a color matte for Video 1 and directly above it place your title. For Color Matte, please see Project Media, New Item, Color Matte.
2. Create a title in the Titler and while there go to the Title Menu/Image/Add Image. That will put the image on the top, hidding the text. So, right click the monitor, select Arrange, followed by Send Back.
Please review and then let us know if you have any further questions on this or need clarification on anything that I have written.
Thank you.

  • Blue Background for Title Text

    Seems like it would be simple, but I can't figure out how to change the basic black slug the text goes on for a title to a blue background instead of the black background.....Thanks in advance.

    You can place a Color Matte, beneath your text. EFFECTS > VIDEO GENERATORS > MATTES > COLOR
    You can change the color of the matte by selecting the Control Tab in the viewer.
    There are many other options depending on what you are using to create your text.

  • How to add a custom color background

    In iMovie 11 can you make a custom color background for text other than the stock backgrounds?
    If so how?

    imagine for a second a 'background' as a 'photo' or graphic:
    use any 'Paint'-app (Pixelmator, Photoshop/elements, abuse Keynote/iWork ... ), or download any .jpg you'd like to see as 'background' from the web.
    drag into Project, drag Title over it.

  • View Options: Can't Pick Colored Background?

    Colored backgrounds for folders like Applications, etc. carried over after upgradingto 10.7, but when I clicl on Arrange by Name to put things back in order the background color disappears and is replaced with white. When I click on Show View Options to choose a colored background, the options are greyed out and choosing a color isn't possible. Any way to rectify this?

    Itunes crashed today & automatically installed 11.0.2 when I reopened it Chris.
    There are definitely no "size" or "kind" boxes under View>Options, see screengrab. I didn't delete any playlists, they disappeared!

  • Background Colors for Titles

    Is there a setting within iMovie that will provide for a different color background than black for titles?
    Thanks!

    Placing a title over a color background
    1 In the timeline viewer, select the video clip to the right of where you want to add a title or text
    and drag the clip to the right to create a gap.
    2 Click the clip viewer button and locate the new color clip (it will be black).
    3 Select the color clip and choose File > Show Info.
    4 Click the Color box (shown below) and choose a color for the clip.
    5 Click Select and close the Color box.
    6 Follow the instructions above for creating a title, but don’t choose the Over Black checkbox. A
    color clip is technically a video clip.

  • Choose background color for titles

    Is there a way to choose the background color when adding titles before or inbetween movie clips? Or is black the only option?

    Welcome to the  Discussion Forums.
    Titles backgrounds default to black when there is no background present, you can place the title over any colour background to achieve what you want. I suspect though this isn't what you were asking and what you really wanted to know was can you change the default colour when there is no background. I don't think you can.

  • How to change the background color only for one HTML-Portlet?

    Hi all,
    I have created a HTML-Portlet in my root-page. The root page have a style: Main-Style.
    I want to change the background-color only for this one HTML-Portlet:
    <html>
    <header><title>Test</title></header>
    <body bgcolor="#999999">
    Test
    </body>
    </html>
    But this does not work...
    When I use the CSS, then it will change the background-color for the root-page too.
    Thans
    Leonid Pavlov

    could you try this
    <table bgcolor="#999999">
    <tr>
    <td>
    test
    </td>
    </tr>
    </table>
    I don't think you need <html><header><title>Test</title></header>
    <body></body></html> for your HTML-Portlet.

  • Change background color of List Title

    I am able to change the text color however, I am not able to change the background color of the Title on my List.
    The list template I am using is Vertical Unordered List without Bullets.
    Here is my code :
    <span style="color:pink"; "background-color:black">My List Title</span>.
    The text color is pink, however the background color remains blue.
    Do I need to create a new template for the list ?

    Please surround your HTML with the the following tag We need to check if your code is displaying properly.

  • How can I change the color of a title background?

    Hi,
    I am using the green background for my titles, but would like to make it a darker green. Is there a way to use the color palette to change the shade of the background color?
    Thanks!

    haven't found this option yet, but would be a nice-to-have feature:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/imovie.html
    workaround for now:
    use any paint app on your Mac (Photoshop/Express, Pixelmator, Graficconverter, 'abuse' Keynote, ... ) to create a background of your likes&needs. import that jpeg into iM, add title..
    this technique allows very unique and individual titles, far beyond iM's limitations.
    using 'external' apps for creating titles allows even 'impossible' effects as pictures in scrolling titles, read Aaron's advice (his site is worth a read..) :

  • What color is recommended to use on a black background for credits or thank yous in a video?

    What color is recommended to use on a black background for credits or thank yous in a video?
    Thank you for your help.

    If it is not too distracting, I like to overlay the credits on a still scene that sort of sums up the whole movie....just so the credits are not overshadowed by the background. That worked well for a movie of a little league baseball game and my favorite baseball little leaguer.
    Another time, for a birthday celebration for a retired very special person, I used rolling credits against just a smiling face of the birthday person with a chiming like version of happy birthday music. I kept everything light and readable with a balance between face and credits. Then as the credits ended, I eased into a thank you to him title followed by cameo shots of faces with names (about 3 cameos per image) of all the people who attended the gathering for this special person. So many times as the years go by there will be a person watching the video and asking who is that? So, my cameos were gently placed and presented and served the purpose of letting everyone know/remember who was who.
    I tend to let the work direct me in all decisions in creating the credits. Probably white is the generalized answer for lettering against a black background. Just white rolling credits on black does not necessarily grab by attention. But that is a generalization that may not apply to your specific project.
    Just some thoughts.

  • Is there a way to change the color of the Bezier Curves and points to a different color other than black  I find it perplexing while setting points and curves working on a photo that needs to be separated from it's background for placement on transparent

    Is there a way to change the color of the Bezier Curves and points to a different color other than black  I find it perplexing while setting points and curves working on a photo that needs to be separated from it's background for placement on transparent backgrounds. Any thoughts?

    Yes. Well, sort of: instead of a "path", set the pen tool to "shape" in the tool properties. Then set the fill colour to transparent, and the stroke colour to the colour you want. You can also set the stroke width.
    Not perfect, but at least you can see the path more clearly - the anchor points and handles still remain the default colour. Open the path panel, and right-mouse click the path shape to create a selection based on that shape. The Paths panel menu also allows you to create work paths based on that shape.
    Unfortunately when you try to move the handles the black thin outline appears again until you release the mouse button.
    This is one of several things that works better in Photoline: in Photoline, once the path is set to a specific colour, editing the path uses the actual colour and stroke width. which is extremely handy for creating path based selection with awkward background colours and/or a high resolution screen. In Photoline the handles and bezier points are also much, much larger, which makes it rather simpler to work with as well - especially on a higher resolution screen. And when selected the handles and points are a clear red with a black outline - again easier to spot and identify. I just works better, in my opinion.
