How to create a black and white text clip?

I'm using pro Cs4 and was wondering how do I create a black and white text clip?  When I used Vegas there was a clip I could put in, and simply write whatever I needed.
Still getting used to Pro Cs4 and was wondering if anybody can help me.
Thanks!

Do you wish to have a black field w/ white text, over part of an existing Video Clip, or do you want just a black field w/ white text and not have any Video showing through?
For the latter, just do a Title in Titler, w/ white text, and place that on the Timeline.
For the former, let us know the exact details, as that is slightly different.
Good luck,
Hunt
[Edit] as a little background, when in Titler, you will see a "black" background, but that is really Transparent. However, if placed on the Timeline, with nothing below it, it will show black.

  • How can I create a black and white image similar to what I see in the "Replace Color" tool?

    Hi all, I'm just wondering how I can create a black and white image similar to what I see in the preview window of the "Replace Color" tool. See attached screenshot for clarification -- I need the grass to be black while the soil is white or vice versa. Any tips?

    One way is to use Select>Color Range
    Make a new Color Fill Layer>White
    (Layer>New Fill Layer>Solid Color)
    Put a new color fill layer below>black
    Just invert the layer mask on the top fill layer for the opposite effect.

  • Im only starting and cant work out how to give a black and white photo blue eyes

    im a beginer and cant figer out how to give a black and white portrat photo blue eyes

    - If the original is B&W first change the picture's mode to color. In my PSE version with is done by Image > Mode > RGB Color. 
    - Add a blank layer and set it's Blend Mode to Overlay or Color.
    - Activate the Brush tool, choose a dark blue color, and paint the eyes. If the result is too dark lower the layer's Opacity. Use the Eraser to remove excess color around the eyes.

  • How to print in black and white only?

    Hello,
    I have HP Color Laserjet cp1515n. I downloaded and installed "HP_CP1510_series_full_solution_EMEA3-v4.0" from HP's website for the driver. 
    When printing (in the properties for the printer) there is no option whether to print in black and white only or not. Please help me get that option. And please tell me how I can save toner.
    Thank You
    I have windows xp 

    Hello!
    You can get this accomplished within most word/printing applications or preferences by selecting 'Greyscale' printing or black and white only.
    You can find an article related to this function with more details here:

  • How to print in black and white

    I am new to Mac, and notice that I cannot do two things:
    1. I cannot print selected text by right clicking
    2. and , I cannot print anything in Black and white, even though my HP computer is set at black only on the host PC it is connected to. Even if I copy and paste to Word for Mac, it still doesn't give me a BW option. It seems the MAC overrides my HP C3100 settings.
    Help, I hope I did not make a mistake in getting a Mac.
    Sincerely,
    Jeff

    1. I cannot print selected text by right clicking
    Whether or not you can print selected text depends on the application, but that is not something you typically see.
    2. and , I cannot print anything in Black and white
    If the print driver for your printer allows that sort of thing, it's typically accessed in the print dialog. There will be a pop-up menu that lets you access different print options. Some of the typical things you'll see are Layout, Color Matching, Page Handling, etc. For my printer, I have a Quality & Media option, and in those options there's a Grayscale Printing option.
    Of course, you have a different printer from a different manufacturer, so YMMV. Check the documentation and the HP support pages.
    Help, I hope I did not make a mistake in getting a Mac.
    Those seem like fairly minor things to make you doubt an entire platform choice. Give yourself some time to get used to a completely new and unfamiliar system.

  • How do I undo black and white default in photoshop?

    Whenever I place a colored photo into photoshop it automatically is placed as a black and white photo by default.  I don't want this to happen.  How do I fix this?

    You have to be sure the file you are placing it into is rgb mode and not grayscale.
    If you File > Place a color photo into a grayscale document, it will turn grayscale.
    So before you do that, go to Image mode in Photoshop and select RGB.

  • How to copy a black and white layer to the mask of another layer.....

    Earlier I asked, "How?"
    Got a reply, but the solution didn't work in PSE 10. 
    After trial and error, I figured it out.
    When dealing with abstract art or even hair, it is too time consuming to make a
    mask pixel by pixel.
    Load the image you want to mask into a new layer and convert it to black and white.  You might need to
    adjust contrast/brightness to maximize the effect..
    Using the Magic Wand tool, click on the WHITE area of the image.   
    Click Edit/Copy.
    Click on the layer you want the mask copied to.
    Next, click on "Add new layer mask" button on the bottom of the layers panel. 
    Your mask should appear and is now ready for a touching up!.

    What’s the correct way to proceed?
    Joke?
    In Photoshop there are often more ways than one to achieve a task and none of them need be considered »wrong« as long as the result fits the intention, so »the correct way« seems to be problematic terminology.
    Anyway, one can use a Layer set to Blend Mode Color and paint on that with whatever colors.
    Or one can use Solid Color Layers set to Blend Mode Color.
    Or Hue/Saturation Layers …
    To edit contrast if necessary Curves or Levels Adjustment Layers can be employed.
    You could also have googled »photoshop colorize black and white« …

  • I have a CanoScan Lide 700F scanner ,how do I scan Black and white neg.and turn them into positives?

    I am scaning all old pictures, docts,  slides ,but I have alot of b&w negs verious sizes, how can I turn  them into b&w positives??

    Hi Teddy.
    The MP Navigator EX software that was bundled with your CanoScan LiDE 700F can be used to scan your black and white negatives.  To use the MP Navigator, please follow these steps:
     1.  Start MP Navigator EX and open the Navigation Mode screen.
     2.  Point to Scan/Import and click Film.
     3.  Place the film on the Platen.
     4.  Click Specify... to set the document size and scanning resolution as required.
     5.  When setting is completed, click OK.
    Important
    Film may not be scanned correctly when Film Type in the Scan Settings dialog box is set to Auto. In that case, select the type of film in Film Type and scan again.
    Note
    To scan black and white film, it is recommended that you select Black and White Negative Film or Black and White Positive Film for Film Type in the Scan Settings dialog box.
     6.  Click Scan.  Preview scan starts.  When preview scan of the film is completed, the preview image appears.
    Important
    If a message for calibration appears, remove the film, then place the Film Adapter Unit over the first frame of the Film Guide and click OK.
     7.  When the calibration is completed, follow the on-screen instructions to load the film into the Film Guide, then click OK.
    Note
    Preview image does not appear when the Preview before scanning checkbox is not selected in the Scan Settings dialog box. The scanned images appear directly in the Thumbnail window.
     8.  Select the checkbox of the frame and click Scan.  When scanning is completed, the Scan Complete dialog box opens.
     9.  Select Scan or Exit. To scan another frame, place the Film Adapter Unit over the frame you want to scan, then select Scan. Select Exit to end.
    The scanned images appear in the Thumbnail window.
    10.  Edit the scanned images as required.  Use Edit Tools to rotate images, select a part of an image, etc.
    Note
    First select images to edit. (Selected images are outlined in orange.) Drag the mouse or use Shift + arrow keys to select multiple images.
    11.  Save the scanned images.

  • How can I print black and white

    I would like the option of printing in black and white from my iPad.   Does anyone know if this is possible? Just hooked up Epson XP -600 AirPlay wi fi printer.
    Does this require an app?   Prints fine in color.

    If you print a B&W image, some printers will still use color ink in the process.
    There is no way to tweak print settings on the iPad or iPhone. Apple designed it to automatically apply default settings to any print jobs.
    I recommend looking at an app like Printopia. This acts as an inexpensive "print server" for your iPad which allows you to configure advanced settings from the computer, such as custom paper sizes and color options.
