Change the title animation for regular titles

To change the way that your regular title appears and disappears from the screen, click on “Change the title animation.” A list of possible animations will appear.

If you have only entered text in the first box, you will be shown the options for “Titles, One Line”; if you have entered text in both text boxes, you will see options for “Titles, Both Lines.”

The list of possible animations displays the name of the animation and a description. The default for regular titles is “Fade, In and Out.” However, there are many other options to choose from. Clicking on the name of an animation will display it in the preview window.

You can use the animations for “Title, One Line” even if you entered text in both boxes; however, these will only animate the text that you entered in the first box, and the text in the second box will not appear. You can also use the animations listed under “Credits” but these will also only animate the text in the first box.
