Add a title between clips

Today I made a movie with 5 individual movies. Now I would like to add a title clip between each of the 5 movies. Any suggestions on how I do this. If I'm not using the right teminology I aplogoize. Feel free to straighten me out.

Are you using iMovie version 10?
If so, see if this helps:

Unable to add title between clips that requires download.

I am using Adobe Premiere Elements 12 and have been unsuccessful in adding titles between clips that are downloaded content.
Need help ASAP!!

Thanks for the reply. I just need to have clarified a few more details.
It sounds like that you are trying to add the "Yearbook_hd_title" under Titles & Text Tab/HD Templates/Yearbook_hd_title.
This Title Template needs to have content download to get the title template to work. To do that, you right click the blue ban at the top right corner of the title template thumbnail and select Download Now and then wait. The process can be long. Is you Internet connection working and working well?
You say that you also have problems downloading content other than that under Titles & Templates. You mention Instant Movie choices as well.
Content download will depend on the Internet connection as well as the Adobe Server.

Can't add a dissolve between clips in FCP 4.5

I do animations and we shoot hundreds of stills with a digital camera to record a "shot" in a scene then import them all to FCP 4.5 with the still image duration set to 2 frames. This gives a sort of 12 frames a second speed to the animations which is ok for our purposes.
Then we export the timeline as a qt mov file and use that like it was a single video clip in another sequence in FCP to build up the final project.
When I try to add a dissolve or any other video transition between two of these clips, it won't work.
If there is a gap between the clips, I can add a dissolve at either end of the clip and this looks like a fade out or fade in, but if the clips are touching then I can't add any transition.
I have also tried nesting the sequence with all of the still images into a new sequence so that the stills are treated as a single clip in the new sequence, but this doesn't solve the problem and I can't add transitions between those clips either.
The computers are G5 Mac Pros running Tiger 10.4.10 and FCP is version 4.5
Can anyone please explain what is wrong or how to fix it?
Thanks a lot for any advice.

One way to do dissolves is to put the clips in different video tracks and overlap them (that is, handles by the duration of the "dissolve" you want to implement.
Then use an opacity ramp to fade on out as you fade the other one up.
I find that doing dissolves this way means that I don't have to set the in and out points with a transition in mind, and it easy to slide the clips around to get the exact effect want.
To do opacity ramps, you need to set the sequence setting "timeline options" set to show keyframe overlays. That will put a black line on the video timeline for each clip on each track. When dragged to the top, it is 100% opaque; at the bottom it is 100% transparent. You use the little "ink pen" to put keyframe handles on the timeline opacity line and you can then gradually increase/decrease the ramp as you see fit, including rounding the corners to make it smoother.
As other noted, it may be easier to just make sure you have the right amount of "handle" (video beyond the in and out points) and do one of the built in dissolves; I find that if I don't like the timing I've chosen, it is more work to fiddle around with the in/out points (for example, by putting the clip in question on another video track and dragging the ends out or in).
Experiment with different methods and use the one which works best for you.

Making compound clip adds unwanted black between clips

I have a 2 minute psa that was shot in HD on the NX5 and edited on FCPX. I needed to put it together with other PSAs to make a longer show so I selected all the clips on the timeline and made a ‘compound clip’. The compound clip looks like one clip on the timeline and it should be able to be copied to another timeline. When I watched it back though, FCPX had introduced flash frames of black in between all of the cuts on the timeline, throwing all of the titles out of whack as well. Why did this happen?
1. Original Storyline
2. Original storyline made into a compound clip.
3. When I play it back I get flash frames in-between each clip so i checked the compound clip and found that it introduced black between each clip.

I ran into this problem too and found a quick solution that may work for anyone who encounters this bug.
THE PROBLEM: In one of my Projects, when creating a compound clip of the entire Project (so that I could apply Project-wide color and audio correction), gaps were inexplicably added to certain cuts. I don't know why. I first tried to work around this by exporting a Master File, but this also created the same gaps. Ugh.
THE SOLUTION: Duplicate your Project and in the duplicate, select all and create a compound clip. After creating the compound clip, double-click the compound clip in the Event Browser. This will open the compound clip, with all its bits and pieces exposed, in the Timeline. Go to the bottom-left corner of the Timeline and click the little button there to open the Timeline Index. Do a search for "gap". Select all the results in the list and press the delete key.
NOTE: Don't forget to duplicate your original Project (before creating a compound clip with the duplicate) so that you have it as a reference and a backup in case something goes wrong. I have not carefully analyzed this glitch and am not 100% sure this workaround is bulletproof. I also am not sure what is causing the OP's titles to be "thrown out of whack" as I didn't have that particular issue, so this "fix" may not actually fix that part of the problem.

How do I add a title to a video clip w/ LiveType 2 and Final Cut Express 4

I have Final Cut Express 4 & LiveType 2.1.4, I'm not sure how to add titles or test to a video clip, and the tutorials for Final Cut Express 4 don't say how to get started in LiveType. How do I simply add text? The tutorials say how to add effects to the text they just don't say how to add it to the clip or how to get the clip into LiveType.

Well, you don't actually _add text_ to a video clip, you _create a text clip_ and add that clip to your timeline, either adjacent to an existing clip or on the next higher track if you want to layer the text with an existing video clip.
The very simplest way to add text is to use one of the *text generators* built into FCE. Lower Third, Text, Scrolling Text, etc. allow you to create various text clips and give you basic controls over fonts, positioning, size, color, etc. You can find the text generators in the Effects tab in the FCE Browser.
LiveType is a separate and more sophisticated application that enables you to do all sorts of things with text (much more than can be done with the FCE text generators). The basic process is - create your title in a LiveType project. Save the LiveType project. Then in FCE, import the LiveType project; from there, you can treat it just the same as any other clip.

How can I add a title to a photo or clip in iMovie v11?

On earlier versions of imovie I was able to add a title to a clip or photo. Since downloading Mavericks I have spent hours trying to carry out what was previously a simple task and are still unable to. Can anyone please enlighten me?

First, I will ask the hosts to move your post to the iMovie forum where you might get more knowledgeable answers....
Second, you should still have your older version of iMovie (if you didn't purchase it at the app store). If so, I'd suggest to use that. If not, hopefully someone in the imovie forum can help; I've tried the new version a couple of times and have decided not to use it as there is very little editing nor other options available for the user. It appears to be cloud-centric with minimal editing, fast processing, and uploading to the internet as the only option to export results in an .mp4 file which was not iDVD friendly in my testing.

How do I add a transition between every clip in Premiere Elements 11?

Greetings -
Folks, I'm looking for a feature that even the cheesy old Windows Movie Maker used to have. I'm trying to figure out how to get Premiere Elements 11 to add a transition between every clip via some shortcut/quick means. I find it obnoxious and inefficient that I need to manually drag a transition between every clip. If I import 200 short clips that I took with my point and shoot camera, it'll take me over an hour alone just to put the transitions in place.
Is there any way to select a transition and have Premiere Elements add it between every clip? I've stumbled on the fact that you can click a transition and make it the "Default" but have not been able to figure out what that does for me.
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you.

Why does the colour on my Premiere Pro clip change when I add a title to it in After Effects?

I applied some colour effects to a clip I was working on in Adobe Premiere Pro, but when I replace the composition of the clip with an Affter Effects composition and simply add a title over the video, it saves the clip with a slightly different colour. It doesn't seem to be removing the colour effect that I added to it, just altering it. Any ideas as to what may be happening, and how I can keep the colour consistent? Thanks a mil!

Just a guess about something to look at - check the color settings in your After Effects project. If you increase the bit depth to 16 or 32 bits per channel and check your color management settings, you may have a better result. I'm a bit clueless about the various options under Color Settings, but maybe you will hit upon something that works.

I can't add transitions between clips, but between generated media?!

I can't add transitions between clips, but between generated media?! Any ideas?

I am assumming you are working with "connected clips" which are either above or below the main storyline "track" (the one you put your first project clip onto when you started the project). You can only add transitions to clips that are on either the primary storyline or on a created storyline. Select the clips you are working with then choose the Clip menu and the Create Storyline selection. Make sure snap is set to assure your clips are really butted up against each other. Then apply the transitions.

OK, I understand what you mean now! I assumed you were asking about the normal Fade In or Fade Out using the transition from the Transitions panel. But I guess you mean the Fade function specific to a Cutaway. When you double-click on a Cutaway the Inspector opens. Here you can set the Cutaway Fade duration. But as you say, it only provides for both fade in and fade out as one operation - you can't set the fades individually (it's both or nothing).
BUT, try the method outlined by Karsten Schluter above. It will give you the same effect and will enable you to fade either side of the Cutaway (or add other transitions).

How Do I Add A Title To My Outline?

Sick of MS WORD so I broke down and bought PAGES this morning. So far I like it, but I was most excited about using the Outline Mode, however I'm trying to add a title to my outline, but I can only make it one of the actual bullet points. Anyone know how to add a title and for that matter, how to start and stop an outline within a document, meaning if I want to do a paragraph or two of plain text and then outline a few points and then go back to a paragraph. Thanks in advance for any advice.

You are definitely after List Style not Outline. Outline is just a way of looking at your document and moving parts of it around. You switch between that and the regular view of the document:
Menu > View > Show/Hide Document Outline
Lists are on the right of the toolbar. You may have to stretch the window out a little toi see it.
Download and read the Pages09_UserGuide.pdf from under the Help menu.

HT201386 Why can't I add a title to a photo anymore?

Why can't I add a title to a photo anymore in Iphoto editing?
Thanks,

For a transition to work, you need handles... basically, enough footage to overlap each other so that the transition can grab from both sides... your clip is merely 7 frames, way too short to be able to add a transition...
I've used the "joining two pieces of fabric" analogy before, but I think it was too girly.. Perhaps another way to think about it, is to think of a "dovetail joint" used in wood working... the two pieces of wood need to grab onto each other in order to hold together...
Anyhow, doing a quick search to perhaps better explain, I found this:

I can't add a title to a movie imported from my camera! how come?

This is really frustrating because I have one clip (an entirely different one than the one I want to add a title to) that is "accepting" a title. but the one I imported from my camera (a testimonial from a client) just wont work. nothing happens when I drag and try to drop a title. with the other one, it turns blue and it's clear I can drop a title. I was able to edit my video and remove some clips.
this has happened before. i need to understand why it happens so 1. i can avoid it in the future and 2. stop wasting so much time messing around with this critcal but SMALL piece.
please help!

ill try to help...
forgive me i'm no tech. much like pictures cant be edited retitled etc, once uploaded from camera roll. (they can be in camera roll) I think you can do it on the computer after the fact.
as for where to find the video that depends on the computer. I dont know on a mac but windows based you find the file in your library right click and select rename.
hope that helps

How to add a title to the book cover/spine?

Hi,
appears to be a stupid question, but I couldn't find any answer in the Videos by JK o any other help page:
How can I add a title to he book cover and the spine of a blurb-book made in LR5?
I could not find any cover template having a title (only a lot of text).
Thanks a lot in advance,

I have worked with Booksmart and made one book successfully. I have also made a book in Lr 5.2 and had it printed by Blurb to my satisfaction.
Compared to creating a book in Lr the workflow in Booksmart is cumbersome and slow.
(1) During the creation of a book in Lr I test the book often by exporting it as a PDF. This option is only available when you select PDF instead of Blurb - but it is possible to switch between PDF and Blurb without harm. The only change is that the Blurb logo page disappears when PDF is selected. Viewing the PDF in Acrobat tells me what the book will look like in print since my monitor is calibrated and set to the correct intensity (brightness). It also tells me if my sharpening is good. For the export to PDF I select 100 for quality; color profile sRGB; file resolution 300; sharpening High; media type glossy.
A Blurb representative told me that these settings come close to the settings that Lr uses when the book is uploaded to Blurb.
In Booksmart I can't export to PDF.
BTW you should sharpen the image so much that it looks a bit too sharp in your PDF. When the boook is printed the ink droplets spread out a tiny bit before they dry. This tends to make the print softer than it looks on screen.
(2) Booksmart is not color managed. Therefore in Booksmart you have no feedback how your book will look in print. If you want to test your images you have to softproof them in Photoshop.
(3) When I make a book I find often that my develop adjustments are not optimal. In Lr it is very easy to switch the the Develop Module, make the necessary adjustments and switch back to the Book Module. With Booksmart you have to export the adjusted image again - or it has to be re-published if you use the Blurb plug-in.
(4) In the past I have made complaints that Lr does not give enough flexibility for the layout. Since then I have worked more in Lr and I find the Book Module actually quite good.
I find that the full page bleed allows the most flexibility for creating my own layout. Starting with a full page bleed I use the padding feature to place the image anywhere on the page and in any size I want. The boxes for "Page Text" and "Photo Text" allow for more than one column. The text can be edited by adjusting Tracking (all letters are spaced wider/closer), Kerning (individual pairs of letters can be spaced), Baseline (letters can be pushed up or down), or Leading (the distance between different lines of text can be adjusted). There are no such features in Booksmart.
(5) Selecting a color for page background or for text is cumbersome in Booksmart. In Lr it's easy.
The cover of my first book in Lr looks like this:

Having several problems with Adobe Premiere Elements 13. Right now my worst is that when I add text to a clip, it goes out of "auto color" while the text is up. Help?

I'm having a number of problems with Elements 13. One is that, while in "play" mode, the sound will just stop happening. I have to click "pause" then "go" again and the sound comes back. It also stops playing on it's own, I have to hit "play" repeatedly. Just got the software, have been using it extensively for a week or two, and this just started happening.dor
Now today, when I add text to a clip, it drops out of "auto color" while the text is visible in the clip, then back into auto color when the text is gone. Any suggestiosn?

If we are looking at the same thing, you have called attention to one strange Premiere Elements 13 AutoColor/Titler interaction. This can be reproduced in the Expert or
the Quick workspace. I will demo this in the Quick workspace since that is where you have been working.
1. Import a still into the Quick workspace/Filmstrip.
2. With the still selected, go to Adjust Tab/Adjustments Palette/Color Panel expanded and just click on the Auto Color Tab. Close the Adjust Tab route.
3. Go to Text Menu/New Text/Default Text to open the project's Titler. When you do that you see the following and not the still over which the text title is to go.
And when you close the Titler, you then see the "Add Text" text title in the still.
The only solution that I can think of at this time is to create the text title and then apply the Auto Color to the still.
It is interesting that this only happens with the Auto Color in the Color Panel selected. If you do not click on
Color Panel and use the More options for Color adjustments, this behavior does not take place.
Deletion of Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file does not correct this situation.

I think that here we need to explore project settings (project presets), properties of source media, and Timeline rendered and unrendered content prior to export.
Please review the above
a. verify if the Auto Color Text Title glitch that I saw is what you described in your situation
b. give the details of your project so that we can explore cause and effect for Timeline content playback irregularities as seen in the Edit area monitor.
Thanks.
