Solitaire / Creating Subcaptions

[bvolcjak]

It's been a while since I've worked with my Solitaire and I'm experiencing a problem with Titling.
I've selected "In / Out Fading Pages" and just want to edit in a simple 3 line sub title underneath a talking head. I'd like the subtitle to appear for approx. 6 seconds then fade out.

When I hit preview the lines just appear and run the entire length of the 4 min. clip of the talking head. This doesn't seem right. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

A very simple way to do it is to split the 4 min scene into three parts. Start, Title, End. Make the Title part 6 seconds or however long you want. Add the fading lines title to the 6 second part and "Create". Done. Others may have more elaborate methods

Bob's method will work, another way is to click on the 'duration' or effect length box (upper left, beneath SB). In the Titling menu this is normally the entire length of the scene. Click on 'Range' and then adjust the IN and OUT (not Position) to sit directly over the part of the scene where you want your title (or you could also adjust the in and out to show a duration of 6-seconds, and then adjust Position to go in the right spot).

Hope that helps!

Does it make any difference in length of the page display if applied before....or after transitions?
