- Hey, it's Justin Brown here from Primal Video.
Titles add a whole new element to your videos.
They help you emphasize points, they help you
keep your viewers engaged, and they help you
break up any static videos.
There are a few ways to do it.
We've covered previously how you can make
good looking titles, animations using Adobe After Effects
and I'll put a link on screen now,
and below in the description, but if using Final Cut Pro,
we're going to cover how you can do some awesome titles
from inside Final Cut Pro and where you can get some
great templates from to get your started.
(electronic music)
Now Final Cut does have titles built in,
but they're standard and pretty boring.
You can also create titles using Apple Motion.
But for 18-20 you can get a template from VideoHive
that matches your style, or your branding, and you can
easily set it up and control it from within Final Cut.
This also means you don't need to know how to use,
or you don't need to own Apple Motion, either.
Each template has a slightly different ways of changing
things up, and different level of control,
but fundamentally, all the settings are the same.
To start off with, head to videohive.net
and come up here to Apple Motion.
So you can see, you can also get video displays,
openers, logo stings, elements and other cool things
in here as well.
For purpose of this video, we're going to click on titles.
These are the title template packs that are available here.
If we put our mouse over them, they'll start to play.
(electronic music)
These are examples of the template files you can purchase
and download and use in Final Cut.
Just looking at the prices, $14, $22, 22, 22...
Let's start with this one.
This particular one is the one that we use for a lot of
our titles at Primal Video,
so some of these might look familiar.
(electronic music)
Cool, so when you've found one that you like,
add it to your cart, purchase it, download it,
and what you'll end up is a ZIP file.
Extract that by double clicking on it.
Open that file up.
And here, read me first.
Should always up the read me file so it tells you
step by step how to install it.
Each one is going to be slightly different,
this one is saying to install all these fonts,
so these are all the fonts that are going to be used
in the templates.
And down here it tells you how to install the theme for
Final Cut whether you've got motion installed
or you don't have motion installed.
It's literally just copy the folder
into the Final Cut plugins folder.
Once you've got your templates installed,
head back into Final Cut.
Now when you want to add a title,
which is up here in the new version,
and under titles we'll see the templates
that we just bought.
Putting your mouse over them and sliding the cursor around
will show you what they actually look like.
You can see just for the one purchase of $22 US,
we've got a heap of awesome titles in here that we can use
in our videos.
Then it's just a matter of selecting the title
you want to use, dragging it down into your timeline,
we can see there as we just scrub across, it will animate,
no, maybe I've got to play it.
There you go, so that's the title straight out.
If we click on it and we come up here
and this is where we can edit it.
The icon with the T or the title inspector is where you'll
find most of the options.
The build in and out is to turn on and off the animation
to build the title in or animate in and to build out
or animate out.
Obviously here text 01, first line of text goes here.
Second line of text goes here.
So we could do something like...
Justin Brown...
PRIMAL VIDEO.
All the rest of the settings here,
are just to customize that up.
Adjust frame length,
adjust the frame width, make it thicker or thinner,
we can... adjust the center line width which was part
of that animation in there.
Scrub through slowly.
That's that center line right there, so we can make that
thinner or thicker.
We can also change the colors of everything in here as well.
We've got a great level of control over the titles.
If you want to change the fonts, come up here to
the text inspector.
That will let us change the fonts.
And change the text position, change the font size,
all of these sorts of things, we've really got a great
level of control over the title.
All of this is directly from our timeline.
We haven't gone out to Apple Motion, all of this
is done live in our editing software and when we hit play,
it just plays back.
If you want to pick the title up and move it around,
then you'll come over here to the video inspector
and under position we can adjust the x and y position.
If we want to put it down in the bottom left corner,
then we can just make these adjustments here.
So those are really quick examples.
Let's grab another one now to show you,
this is one that we use quite often,
I'll drop this one down.
Double click on it, edit the text.
POINT 1.
What we would normally do it we would copy and paste this,
so command C, and command V,
My point one...
I'll extend those out so they run the same amount of time.
POINT 1 will come on
and then we've got POINT 2...
That we'll change to POINT 2.
And we would adjust the position of this one.
What you'll see here when we play this back.
POINT 1 comes on when we're talking about POINT 1.
Then when we're talking about POINT 2, POINT 2 comes on.
In this case, we've got them here so they both finish at
the same time, so you'll see in just a second,
they'll both animate out at the same time.
That's really powerful and really simple and all for $22 US.
That's just insane.

Now that your titles are sorted, another big element
is the music, so here's a video with our recommendations
on where to source the music for your videos.
