Blank Titles

[grumpygreta]

Hi Tami,
I want to have a slide in my show that is just words with no picture. In other words, let's say I want a plain page with a red background and black words that says THE END. I finally figured out that if I put the timeline to a blank spot and create a title I can do that, but the background is black. Is there any way to change that or is there some other way entirely to make what I want?
Thanks,
GG

GG-

I have only done a couple of slide shows, but I think you can insert a blank side and than change the background color, using the options under the properties pallette on the right. If you click on background color, a color picker comes up, and you can choose your color there. And then you can insert text and graphics.

Good luck!

GG,

Kay is correct Another method that you could use is to make a slide the color you want in PS or PSE, add your text and import the graphic, or just import the blank colored slide and add text in PRE.

One suggestion tho, I don't recommend red, it tends to bleed color a bit on TV's.

Tami;
I am muddling along on making a slide show and found how to change colours but with inserting text can't seem to get the words to go to the next line if the "title" is too long. example SUMMER
BIG SKY
Mountain
this is even if the icon for centering the text appears to show many lines. Fine as long as your doing only one liners.
Must be a finer point I am missing. Also ..............
I have 6 or 7 slides on the same subject I thought that it would be kind of good to have the same transition for them all but is it possible to hightlight them all and then click apply to all those just in that group ......timing too?

Pressing the Enter key will move to the next line when typing in a text box in the Titler.

You cannot apply a transition to multiple clips all at once, you need to do each one manually unless you use the Create Slideshow Function, that has a default transition that will be applied to them all.

To add a different color background, add a Color Matte (from the New Item in the Media Panel) to a track below the image.

A tutorial on this would be great I have tried to do it with the timeline no luck.

cant you just use the title creator? It has solid color backgrounds you can choose and then type whatever you want and insert that frame into the timeline wherever you want.

[Chuck Engels]

Of course you can Curt, but if you just want a different color background the Color Matte is very simple and it also has an eyedropper so you can match specific colors if you want to.
