Add Titles

Filmora for Mac makes it easy to create text & titles that match your style. Captions, lower 3rds, subtitles, openers, and end credits are among the text options available in Filmora for Mac. You can even add animated text effects like dialog balloons. In this guide you’ll learn how to access and use them.

There are a variety of animated text presets you can access under the Titles menu. You can customize any text effect you find and save it as a new preset.

Adding text to your project

Go to the Titles menu, choose a text effect, and drag it into the timeline. You can also right click on the text effect and choose Apply.

You can also enter plain text, it's no animations or extras, just simple text.

In the Titles menu on the left side of the screen, you’ll see folders for different types of text effects marked Opener, Titles, Lower 3rds, Sub Titles, and End Credits. You can preview each effect by double-clicking on it. Drag and drop the effect you want to use into the timeline, or right click on it and select Apply.

Applying Openers and End Credits

To add an Opener (also called an Intro) go to the Opener menu under Titles and right click on the Opener you want to add. Select Apply and the Opener will be added to a new video track.

To add End Credits, go to End Credits under Titles and right click on the credits you want. Then, select Apply from the submenu.
