Key Steps of This Video Tutorial To Follow

00:41 Create Title at the Beginning of the Video

Start the process by importing the video into Filmora. Drag the required video and drop it on the timeline. To add a title at the start of the video, move toward the main toolbar and select the "Titles" tab. As this opens up a new panel, you will be provided with a bunch of title options.

Select any title option available and drag it to the timeline. Place it above the video at the place where you want to enter this. You can observe from the preview window that the title will automatically be added to your video.

Double-click the title on the timeline and customize its settings under the “Titles” tab from the settings panel. From "Basics" you can enter the name of your title and add or remove the subtitles. Once you have made all the general edits, playback to see the final results.

02:52 Adding Transitions to the Title

To avoid harsh cuts, add a softening touch at the end of the title. To do so, navigate towards the main toolbar of Filmora. Select the "Transitions" tab and continue into the "Basics" section. Here you'll see multiple transitioning options available out of which you can select any transition and drag it to the timeline. Place this transition at the ending part of the title and adjust its length as desired.
