Click the Show Background Video button to hide the video clip.

 Note:
The video frame displayed behind the title is not saved with the title. It’s there as 
a reference for positioning and styling your title.
Checkerboard pattern 
signifies transparency
The background now consists of a grayscale checkerboard, which signifies transpar-
ency. That is, if you place text created in the Titler on a video track above other video 
clips, the video on lower tracks will be visible wherever you see that checkerboard. 
You can also create text or geometric objects with some transparency. In that case, 
you’ll see the checkerboard through an object, which means the video will show 
through but will appear as if it’s covered with smoked or tinted glass.
6
Click the Birch White 80 style (the third style of the style group shown here).
7
Click the Type tool (shortcut T), and click anywhere in the Titler panel.
The Type tool creates point text.
 Tip:
Dragging the 
timecode with the text 
screen displayed can 
come in handy if you 
want to position text 
relative to the video 
contents or check how 
the text looks over 
your video.
