1 00:00:00,330 --> 00:00:06,210 In this video, we're going to look at how to put multiple titles onto one clip, if you haven't watched 2 00:00:06,210 --> 00:00:09,990 the video of how to put titles onto movie clips, I'd go and do that now. 3 00:00:09,990 --> 00:00:13,220 Otherwise, you're going to be a bit confused as to what I'm doing here. 4 00:00:13,230 --> 00:00:16,460 So I've got a single clip that I've downloaded from Vidis. 5 00:00:16,470 --> 00:00:21,090 It's nothing really exciting, just something that I want to put some titles on. 6 00:00:21,100 --> 00:00:26,250 So first thing I'm going to do, just to zoom in a little bit so that we can see the clips, not a very 7 00:00:26,250 --> 00:00:27,060 long clip. 8 00:00:27,570 --> 00:00:28,920 It's under 30 seconds. 9 00:00:29,220 --> 00:00:34,980 And what we're going to do is just very quickly add a title to this will go to the VFX button, just 10 00:00:34,980 --> 00:00:38,060 drag this bottom window up so that we can see what we're doing. 11 00:00:38,340 --> 00:00:41,270 Now, we do have an audio track and a video track. 12 00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:44,030 And in this case, the audio is really not important. 13 00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:46,620 We're really going to be messing around with the video track. 14 00:00:46,630 --> 00:00:50,070 So I'm just going to disable them for now just so that they don't get in the way. 15 00:00:50,570 --> 00:00:51,360 Zoom again. 16 00:00:53,350 --> 00:00:59,560 What we're going to do is press the button, we're going to go to our DVD and click on text, and then 17 00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:00,910 we're just going to put a title in. 18 00:01:00,940 --> 00:01:04,790 Now, normally what we do is we pick up a title and we put it on our clip. 19 00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:08,140 In this case, you can see that the text is now on the screen. 20 00:01:08,380 --> 00:01:14,740 So let's just do a very quick increase in size like so the font I'm not really worried about in the 21 00:01:14,740 --> 00:01:16,330 color I'm not worried about for now. 22 00:01:16,690 --> 00:01:20,440 What I'm going to do is just call this title one. 23 00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:22,400 So that's going to be our first title. 24 00:01:22,420 --> 00:01:24,730 Now, if we go to our clip right. 25 00:01:24,730 --> 00:01:31,720 Click and click on Unfold, you can see that Light Works makes your titles as long as the clip is. 26 00:01:31,930 --> 00:01:38,200 So it doesn't matter which DVD you put in, whether it's a color or a text or a flip it upside down 27 00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:42,440 effect, it will just make that effect as long as the clip itself. 28 00:01:42,820 --> 00:01:48,700 So what we need to do is, number one, shorten the clip and the easiest way to do that is to disable 29 00:01:48,910 --> 00:01:50,500 the video and remembering. 30 00:01:50,500 --> 00:01:52,600 I've already disabled the audio down there. 31 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:58,600 We're just going to take our title, let's say a few seconds, and I'm going to press the on my keyboard. 32 00:01:58,900 --> 00:02:03,730 You can see that I've cut the title and I'm going to pick it up and just throw it away. 33 00:02:03,730 --> 00:02:04,000 That. 34 00:02:04,820 --> 00:02:11,270 Now, what will happen if I re-enable the video is that my title is much shorter than my clip, which 35 00:02:11,270 --> 00:02:12,250 is actually what I wanted. 36 00:02:12,250 --> 00:02:16,760 It only lasts a few seconds now, and when those seconds run out, the title disappears. 37 00:02:17,300 --> 00:02:21,920 Now, I'm going to give you a word of warning, because I do this a lot and I can't figure out why it 38 00:02:21,920 --> 00:02:22,460 happens. 39 00:02:22,790 --> 00:02:28,160 What I tend to do is I disable my video and then I move a VFX around. 40 00:02:28,730 --> 00:02:32,450 And the effect of that is the video underneath the VFX will go black. 41 00:02:32,450 --> 00:02:34,070 And it's really frustrating. 42 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:36,410 So let me just undo that with my keyboard. 43 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:45,170 And what I'm going to do is show you that when you move a title or a DVD inside a clip, don't disable 44 00:02:45,170 --> 00:02:47,590 it, don't switch it off, instead leave it on. 45 00:02:47,900 --> 00:02:54,740 So when you move your titles or any other DVD around you clips, do it while your video tracks are enabled 46 00:02:54,740 --> 00:02:55,790 when they're switched on. 47 00:02:56,040 --> 00:03:01,640 Otherwise, again, I'll show you if you move it like this, the video goes black underneath and it's 48 00:03:01,640 --> 00:03:06,800 really frustrating and you end up spending half an hour just trying to figure out what happened. 49 00:03:07,010 --> 00:03:11,600 So let's say if we wanted to put another set of titles on the same clip. 50 00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,720 So we've got this running like that title one. 51 00:03:15,620 --> 00:03:16,850 It then goes off the screen. 52 00:03:16,850 --> 00:03:18,510 And what if we wanted another title? 53 00:03:18,650 --> 00:03:22,920 Well, the easiest way to do this right now is to press old on a keyboard. 54 00:03:22,920 --> 00:03:24,290 That's the Alti button. 55 00:03:25,130 --> 00:03:29,780 Pick up the first title and just drag it where you want the second title to begin. 56 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:34,820 And there is so we'll have title one over here. 57 00:03:35,510 --> 00:03:38,540 And then when the second title comes, we'll call that title, too. 58 00:03:38,540 --> 00:03:42,470 And you can see that we now have two titles on the screen. 59 00:03:42,470 --> 00:03:48,890 So if I just play that title, one will come up when it gets to hear, Title one will disappear off 60 00:03:48,890 --> 00:03:51,440 the screen and then Title two will come on. 61 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:55,070 So that's a really easy way of taking a clip and just throwing titles on. 62 00:03:55,310 --> 00:03:58,020 Not what if you don't want the same title. 63 00:03:58,220 --> 00:04:02,990 So in this case, we just copied and pasted our original title onto here. 64 00:04:02,990 --> 00:04:09,110 So what if, for example, you wanted a different style of text, so maybe you do want to crawl or a 65 00:04:09,110 --> 00:04:09,460 role. 66 00:04:09,770 --> 00:04:12,400 So in this case, what we're going to have to do is slightly different. 67 00:04:12,980 --> 00:04:14,770 I'll pick that off and throw it away. 68 00:04:15,170 --> 00:04:20,960 So what we can do is if you do want a different text or a different style of text, what we're going 69 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:26,360 to have to do is pick up the titles and again, put it on top of our clip. 70 00:04:26,570 --> 00:04:28,730 Now, in this case, you can see it's just huge. 71 00:04:28,850 --> 00:04:31,550 It takes up the entire length. 72 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:32,570 That's OK. 73 00:04:32,570 --> 00:04:34,220 That's not an emergency right now. 74 00:04:34,220 --> 00:04:38,660 So let's just assume that out and we'll go back to where we were and simpler. 75 00:04:38,660 --> 00:04:39,500 I'm going to. 76 00:04:41,350 --> 00:04:48,070 Go to the length that I want the title again, disable, switch off the video trick pressie on my keyboard, 77 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:54,040 throw away what I don't want, switch the video track back on and move it to where I want it. 78 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:57,400 And again, we now have a title where we want it. 79 00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:04,450 Now, granted, it's not as easy as other programs where you can simply just dragon resize the VFX as 80 00:05:04,450 --> 00:05:04,990 you want to. 81 00:05:05,290 --> 00:05:10,270 But in this case, it's not so bad and it doesn't take too much longer to get used to this way of doing 82 00:05:10,270 --> 00:05:10,540 things. 83 00:05:10,810 --> 00:05:14,170 So here we have Title one and here we have Title two. 84 00:05:14,170 --> 00:05:19,690 And obviously I put the same title on as Title one, but you could have chosen any other title just 85 00:05:19,690 --> 00:05:20,900 to get the effect that you want. 86 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:27,340 Now, another question I was asked is, how do you adjust the lengths of the text or the DVD that you've 87 00:05:27,340 --> 00:05:28,900 got on your clip once you've got them on? 88 00:05:29,140 --> 00:05:34,780 Because as you can see, I've got my two titles, Title one and title to, but I can't really do anything 89 00:05:34,780 --> 00:05:35,080 to them. 90 00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:38,440 I can move them around, but I can't make them longer or shorter. 91 00:05:38,740 --> 00:05:43,090 Now, in this case, we're just going to treat the titles as if they're normal movie. 92 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:45,790 So in this case, we're going to have to go back to edit. 93 00:05:46,090 --> 00:05:52,420 And you can see let's just zoom in a little bit and you can see just like any other movie clip or any 94 00:05:52,420 --> 00:05:57,310 other audio track, the VFX now can be treated as if they're normal videos. 95 00:05:57,670 --> 00:06:02,770 And if you've watched other videos, you know that we're going to get into a mess when we start pushing 96 00:06:02,770 --> 00:06:04,680 and pulling, if I can do that. 97 00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:09,130 So, of course, we have to disable everything that we want to not effect. 98 00:06:10,130 --> 00:06:16,130 We go to our titles and we can now lengthen and shorten them as we want to, and of course, if you 99 00:06:16,130 --> 00:06:21,590 now want to move them around, the same rule applies as if you were in the VFX button switch on your 100 00:06:21,590 --> 00:06:22,370 video track. 101 00:06:23,350 --> 00:06:28,450 And move your titles around, otherwise you're going to get that black screen, so that's a really quick 102 00:06:28,450 --> 00:06:34,960 video in how to get multiple titles onto MovieClips, how to move them around, how to shorten them, 103 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:41,140 how to link them, and basically how to control where your vectors are and how long they are and what 104 00:06:41,170 --> 00:06:41,640 they do.
