AVID - Titler + Plus - How to Create a Title

Wiki created with help from Matt Lennon

First Step is you need to make a new track to put the titles on so if you have only one video track you

will add a V2 track


Go to >Timeline>New>Video Track

To Add a Title to Your Timeline

Navigate to where you want your title in your timeline. 

Mark and In point and an out point on the V2 track or the topmost track that you created

in our example it is V2

Select the Avid Titler+ button in the toolbar menu just above your timeline

Highlighted with the red square

Make sure the Monitor Icon is on V2 so you can see your title

This will apply the effect to the selected clip and open the Titler+ menu -

where you can change font type, font size, font color, outline, shadow etc.

To change the color of the title double click on the square next to the "Fill"

Then the color wheel pops up to choose the color

NOTE: If you accidentally click out of the menu and can’t find it, do the following.

First, move the playhead over the clip when the Avid Titler+ is applied.

Make sure you are in Effect Mode

Click on this icon to get into effect mode


Then, select >Tools > Avid Titler +

That will bring the menu back up.

After selecting your font type and any other starter settings,

select the T to “Add Text Field.”


Navigate over to your Program Monitor and click where you want your title to be placed.

You will get a white bounding box where you can start typing your title

NOTE: Don’t worry about the text placement fully at first.

You can always adjust the title’s location later.

title centered in the window.
