Title Editor Workspace

Coordinate System

The default coordinate for the origin (0,0) is set to be the top left corner of the canvas and all objects.

You can change this by clicking the X and Y buttons.

+X means the origin of the X-axis is on the left; -X means the origin of the X-axis is on the right.

+Y means the origin of the Y-axis is at the top; -Y means the origin of the Y-axis is at the bottom.

Therefore, +X and -Y sets the origin (0,0) of the coordinate system to the bottom left corner (something we ought to be familiar with from school).

Note This also sets the center for rotation.

Guides, Zoom Level, and Background

You can adjust some aspects of the workspace using the tools in this toolbar. By default, only Show timeline is selected.

If the title clip is in a track above another clip, the content of the clip below the title clip will be shown as the background.

Use grid:

Turns on a grid that objects snap to

Show guides:

Displays a set of guides and turns on the fields for number of vertical lines (default is 3), horizontal lines (default is 2), and the color button (default is red).

Fit Zoom:

Adjusts the zoom level to fit the standard viewport (or the canvas) to the width of the workspace

Original Size (1:1):

Adjusts the zoom level to display the title full size (depending on project settings)

Zoom slider:

Use the slider to adjust the zoom level. Alternatively, you can enter a zoom level percentage, or use Ctrl+MW inside the workspace.

Show timeline:

When selected, the content of the clip in the timeline below the title clip is displayed. Timecode : You can change the timecode or seek when holding the LMB and dragging left and right (Shift+drag or MW for 1 frame, Ctrl+MW for 5 frames, Ctrl+drag for fast seek). If not selected , the background can be set to Checkered, Black, or White. *[RGB]: Red Green Blue *[VFX]: Visual Effects *[feathering]: Smoothing or blurring the edges of a feature *[LFO]: Low-Frequency Oscillation *[dB]: decibel *[LUFS]: Loudness Units Full Scale *[AI]: Artificial Intelligence *[LLM]: Large Language Model *[HSV]: Hue, Saturation, Value *[SOP/Sat]: S(lope), O(ffset), P(ower) / SATuration *[CDL]: Color Decision List *[HSL]: Hue, Saturation, Lightness - Using HSL color space is useful for subtle color changes *[px]: pixel *[hh:mm:ss:ff]: hours:minutes:seconds:frames *[Hz]: Hertz *[CIE]: Commission internationale de l'éclairage, French for International Commission on Illumination *[DCI]: Digital Cinema Initiative *[nadir]: direction pointing directly below a particular location *[OS]: Operating System *[decibel]: Unit of measurement (dB) for sound levels *[clipping]: A form of distortion that limits a signal once it exceeds a threshold *[Spectrogram]: Visual representation of the spectrum of frequencies of a signal as it varies with time *[prevent clipping]: Dynamic range compression (DRC)is an audio signal processing operation that reduces the volume of loud sounds or amplifies quiet sounds, thus reducing or compressing an audio signal's dynamic range. *[SNR]: Signal-to-Noise Ratio *[dbFS]: Decibels relative to full scale *[QHD]: Quad-HD *[UHD]: Ultra High Definition *[XML]: Extensible Markup Language *[fps]: frames per second *[NTSC]: National Television Standard Committee - defined the TV system used in the United States, Japan and many other countries *[PAL]: Phase Alternating Line - a colour encoding system for analogue television *[LFE]: Low Frequency Effects *[RAW]: The RAW file format is digital photography's equivalent of a negative in film photography: it contains untouched, raw pixel information straight from the digital camera's sensor *[DSLR]: Digital Single Lens Reflex *[DOF]: Depth of Field *[NDF]: Neutral Density Filter *[AVI]: Audio Video Interleave *[BT.601]: A standard from 1982 defining how RGB color primaries get turned into the YCbCr channels used by modern codecs *[BT.709]: A standard from 1990 which does the same at BT.601 but the transfer coefficients are slightly different *[grep]: A Unix command-line utility for searching plain-text data sets for lines that match a regular expression *[MLT]: Media Lovin' Toolkit - An open source software multimedia framework designed and developed for tv broadcasting *[SD]: Secure Digital - a proprietary, non-volatile, flash memory card format developed by the SD Association
