I am using several stills as scenes for a presentation. Can I lay out a title that would go across several scenes? Thanks.

Hello Jim,

If I understand your scenario - you have several still scenes you wish to place in the Storyboard, and have the title (whether it is multiple pages, a scrolling vertical or horitontal title) positioned across these multiples scenes?

1. If that is the case - yes! Place your scenes (whether they be still or motion scenes) in the Storyboard
2. In the Titling Menu, insert the title into the first scene you wish to have the title begin in
3. Click on the length/duration button (by default it will be the same length as the scene you are titling on top of - minus any transition time/s).
4. Click on 'Range', then click on 'Ok'
5. Click on 'Out' and adjust the position to the last frame and the last scene you wish your titles to be placed upon. Left click to confirm this placement
6. Go back to the Title menu, preview your title to ensure your desire has been met.

Voila! Celebrate with a good cold one... I recommend a tall frosty mug of either IBC or Henry Weinhard's Root Beer ;)

Regards,
Chet

Okay, thanks. But I wonder how the range box can extend beyond the end of the scene you start in. Will try this, tho.

Hello again Jim,

If you have tried the above you have your answer - steps 4 & 5 above detail how you move the range outside of just the default scene you are in and into another scene/s.
Hope that helped!

Regards,
Chet

Chet Chad Chuck or whoever.
I have a slight problem (hic), with your process (hic). I was so impressed I had (hic) to try it a few times (hic).

I think the main problem was in your voila (hic) line (hic).

Must go an have a lay down now, after of course trying one more of your finale recommend..a..t…i…o…n….s. zzzzzzzzzzz.

Ah - the problem my friend Ian is that you need to partake of beer from the roots not the hops :D
