Place them on the Title Overlay track to make them appear over the top of a clip. Click Tools, Titles and Credits, select your title and type into the Enter text for title box.

7. To alter the title animation click 'Change the title animation and select an animation from the list'. Adjust the font and colour if necessary by clicking Change the text and font and colour, then click Add Title. You can adjust the duration of the title or credit by clicking the end trim handle and dragging it.
