Like many video editors, OpenShot has a built-in title editor. It has some basic functionality to help you create titles for your video project. Here are the features of OpenShot's title system:
Many Templates (Including a Solid Colour Template)
Easy Text Editing (title, subtitle)
Change Font and Colour (including alpha channel)
Change the Background Colour (including alpha channel)
Uses SVG Image Format (vector based)
Adds Titles to the
SectionIntegration with Inkscape (as the advanced editor)
However, if the basic editor is not powerful enough for you, any SVG image file can be imported and used as a title. The alpha channel (transparency) is respected, which means titles can be overlayed on top of other tracks, and will show the video through the transparent parts.
Once the title editor launches, you need to select a template, and click the
button. This will make a copy of the template SVG title, and add it to your . Enter the name of the file, as it will be saved to your hard-drive.The title dialog allows you to choose a template, edit text, change colours, and create your own titles for your video project. Once you are finished editing your title, click the
button.
