The Ultimate Guide to Titles in Final Cut Pro X [2023 Edition]
How to Add Titles in Final Cut Pro X
Benjamin Arango
Mar 27, 2024• Proven solutions
We add text titles to our projects to tell the audience something they can’t figure out on their own, such as the title of our program, the name of the person speaking, or technical details about a subject.
This is a basic tutorial about Apple Final Cut Pro X, professional video editing software. However, if video editing is new to you, consider Wondershare Filmora for Mac . This is a powerful but easy-to-use tool for users just starting out. Download the free trial version below.

Final Cut Pro X has almost 200 different text effects that we can add, but the process of adding titles is essentially the same. Adding titles is what this article is about.
DEFINITIONS
Just to keep us all on the same page, here are my definitions of key terms related to text:
- Text or titles. Words placed on the screen. I use these terms interchangeably.
- Superimpose. Text displayed on the the screen with other video below it. These are also called “supers” or “keys.”
- Full-screen. Text which occupies the entire screen.
- Lower-third. Text which fits below a person talking; in the “lower-third” of the screen.
- Info-graphics. Full-screen text which is superimposed on a graphic, generally used to convey technical information. Typical uses are sports statistics or other information which is easier to convey using text than having someone read the words.
JUST THE BASICS
I’d like to introduce “Yertle,” he’s a sea turtle and the star of this article. (Footage courtesy of Jim Walker and Lobsters Gone Wild Productions.)
At its simplest, we use titles to display his (its?) name.
In the Timeline, put the playhead where you want a title to appear and type Shift+Control+T. This inserts the default lower-third title at the position of the playhead. The title, like almost all titles, has a default duration of 10:00 seconds.
Look at the Browser and see the results of your work. A lower-third title is superimposed over the video in the lower left corner. (I’ll talk about formatting the text in a few paragraphs.)
NOTE: The big limitation of this lower-third title is that it can only be positioned in the left corner. Moving it to the center or right corner requires manual adjustment.
You position or trim a title the same as any video clip: drag the clip to a different location, or drag an edge to change its duration.
Select that title and delete it by pressing the Delete key.
This time, type Control+T and the default full-screen title appears in the center of the screen. Again, this has a default duration of 10 seconds.
If you look right in the center of the screen, you’ll see the word “Title.” Yes, its darn near invisible. And, yes, it looks, um, ugly. However, we have a TON of formatting control to make this look however we want.
Select and delete that full-screen title.
There’s one more way to apply a title: dragging from the Titles Browser.
Click the Title icon in the Toolbar. This displays the contents of the Title Browser. The column on the left displays title categories, the icons on the right indicate individual titles, the search box at the bottom allows you to search for specific titles by name, while the number in the lower right indicates the number of titles currently displayed. (Your number may not match mine because I’ve added a few custom titles to my system.)
Let’s add a totally ridiculous title to our turtle - drag Clouds from the Title Browser and place it above the clip at the point where you want a title to appear.
NOTE: I’m using a marker in the Timeline to help me find the same place in a clip so my screen shots are consistent. Markers are not needed in any way for titles.
Um, yeah. So, some titles look more professional than others… You can delete this title now.
So, we:
- Add titles using keyboard shortcuts
- Drag titles from the Title Browser
- Change position by dragging the title
- Change duration by dragging the edge of the clip
- Delete a title by selecting it and pressing the Delete key
CHANGING TEXT
Add a new full-screen title (type Control+T) to the Timeline. To change the text in a title, double-click it in the Viewer. Here, I’ve changed my title to “An Undersea Adventure.”
NOTE: We can also change the text using the Inspector. I’ll show you how in a few paragraphs. Pick whichever method is easiest for you.
All text, in any title, can be changed by double-clicking it in the Viewer to select it, then typing the new text you want to use.
FORMATTING TEXT
You can format any text that you can select. This means that you can format entire phrases, words, or individual letters differently. For this article, I will format everything the same, because once you know how this works, you can experiment on your own.
Here, I selected my entire title and opened the Inspector (shortcut Cmd+4). Click the Text tab at the top. This section of the Inspector allows you to format the text.
NOTE: The text box near the top of the panel is the second place you can select text for formatting.
If you want a fast way to format text, click the word “Normal” at the top. This displays a menu filled with different text formats. Some of these formats look pretty dreadful; the rest look worse.
NOTE: You can create your own text styles. Refer to the Help for information on how.
The Basic section of the Inspector allows you to change fonts, size, alignment… all the standard font settings we see in other programs. Here, I’ve changed the font to Hobo Std, at 167 points.
While many of these settings you already know there are a few you may not:
- Line spacing. Adjusts the vertical distance between lines within the same paragraph.
- Tracking. Adjusts the horizontal spacing between letters.
- Baseline. Adjusts the vertical spacing of text compared to the horizontal line running thru the center of the white circle in the Viewer.
The Face section allows us to change font color, opacity and blue. Outline and Glow allows us to add, not surprisingly, outlines and glows. You can adjust these as you see fit - I tend not to add outlines or glows.
However, I STRONGLY recommend adding drop shadows to all text that you want viewers to read. Video, even HD video, is low resolution compared to print. Drop shadows make your text much easier to read. These are the settings I recommend for drop shadows.
After making a few changes in the Inspector, here’s the final result. Very cool - and very different from where we started!
ACTION SAFE/TITLE SAFE ZONES
Since television was first invented, we needed to compensate for the differences in TV sets by designing graphics to stay within Action Safe and Title Safe boundaries.
While much of today’s video is designed for the web, your titles will look the best if you follow the same guidelines.
Titles015
Go to the Switch in the Viewer and select “Show Action Safe/Title Safe Zones.”
This displays two pale rectangles in the frame. The outer rectangle is called “Action Safe,” the inner one is called “Title Safe.” Action Safe is 5% in from all edges; Title Safe is 10% in from all edges.
When designing text and graphics for the web, keep all essential elements inside the outer rectangle. When designing graphics and text for broadcast or cable, keep all essential elements inside the inner rectangle.
Here, for example, notice that my title is fully contained within Action Safe.
SUMMARY
Titles give our programs character and personality, plus they explain what’s going on to the audience. Final Cut Pro X provides a wealth of formatting options to make our text look great.

Mar 27, 2024• Proven solutions
With the creation of social video sharing networks online like YouTube, Vimeo, Instagram and Vine, editing and making videos stopped being the exclusive domain of professionals. All you need right now is a good computer system and bingo you are a video editor. You can now edit videos online without downloading any program on your Windows or Mac computer - all you require is a decent network connection to the internet. In this article, we are going to talk about the top 10 most recommended best free online video editing solutions that you can access online.
Most of these free online video editors are beginner-friendly, so even if you just come to the video editing world, you can make a video quickly with these online video editing tools. If you’re an experienced video editor , then check our picks of the best professional video editing software.
Personally, I don’t recommend using online tools since sometimes the network connection isn’t good, and when there is a network error, all the efforts are gone. Editing videos with online tools also need high upload and download speed, so it’s suitable for editing short and small size video clips. Besides, online video editing solutions maybe not the best choice if you need more advanced editing options and beautiful video effects. In this case, I highly recommend Wondershare Filmora for the tool you can’t miss. Just download it to have a try to explore the editing features, plentiful effects and presets. It can be used on Mac and Windows computers both and is suitable for beginners and semi-pros both.
Note: in the free trial version of Filmora 11, there will be a watermark like most online video editors listed below. But you’re allowed to use all the features and effects and save it to your computer or share it on YouTube or Vimeo directly. If you’re a teacher or a student or school staff, you can enjoy our discount on purchasing.
To improve your video editing and create a more stunning video, you can use the package Filmora & Filmstock video templates”, click the image below to see how to make your storytelling more engaging.

Top 10+ Best Free Online Video Editors
Though some online video editing tools listed below provide free trial versions, if you need to download the video, you may need to upgrade your free plan to the paid version. And some free versions will leave a watermark on your video footage in 480p quality. So, please pay attention to it before you dive into this online platform. Please note the online video editors listed are in no particular order.
#2. ClipChamp
Clipchamp is a well-known free online video editing tool, besides the video editing tools, it provides a video compressor, converter, and webcam recorder as well. The best part is that its intuitive work platform allows beginners to complete their video editing within very little time and the output can be directly saved on the computer or shared to Google Drive etc.
Simple drag and drop features allow you to trim, crop, rotate, and flip videos as per their need. Further, it is also possible to adjust brightness, saturation, and contrast with ease. You can also add transitions, text, overlays, backgrounds. There is a stock library that provides both paid and free video and audio files, so you can choose based on your situation. However, if you add a logo to your footage, you may need to upgrade to the Paid version.
You can select different aspect ratios such as 1:1, 9:16, 4:3, or 16:9, and it also provides a built-in guide so you can make a video with it easily. However, you need to sign up with your Google account or Facebook account first before using this all-in-one online video editor. And the free version is limited to export at the 480P SD resolution with no watermark. Though you can import 4K footage, it is recommended to compress it first since large files may cause problems when editing, and the video footage can’t be exported in 4K. I’m not sure what the problem is, but when I added the audio to the video and play it back, it didn’t go smooth. Let me know if you’ve met the same issue when using it in the comment below.

What I like about Wideo is that it allows you to choose video aspect ratio such as 16:9, 1:1, and 9;16, and there are a lot of video templates available, although most of them need to pay. It also provides a 7 -day trial, and the paid versions cost from 19/mo to 79/mo.

You need to sign up and activate your account in your email first and then log in to enter the main menu. And to be honest, I found this video editor layout is outdated and not user-friendly enough. You need to click the select action to choose the target editing feature and in more cases, there will be no real-time preview window to check the editing progress.

Magisto is a great online video maker that is really popular for automatically turning what would otherwise be an everyday type video into a beautiful poignant movie and outstanding social videos.

After signing up with your FB or G+ account, you can add photos and videos to Magisto also provides various video templates which cover different industries such as Birthday wishes, Wedding, promotion, announce and inspiration.

#12. Online Video Cutter
Though it isn’t a video editor to some degree, this intuitive online video editing tool application appears user-friendly and it isn’t limited to cut videos as the name indicates. You can upload videos from computer or via Dropbox, Google Drive or URL directly. With this online video cutter, you can easily rotate the videos to 90, 180 or even 270 degrees, crop them, trim or apply several professional style editing features to create incredible projects. You can save the video with the original quality or to 1080P Full HD.
It can easily handle the maximum file size of 500MB and allow users to access any popular media file format with ease. It is free to use and you can access all advanced features even without buying any license.
What I like about this online video editing tool is that you don’t need to register to use it and there is also no watermark in the saved video. But it would be greater if this online tool can integrate some music and effects as well.
1. Is There Any Online Video Editor No Watermark?
Yes, there are some free online video editors without watermarks, such as ClipChamp, Online Video Cutter and Hippo Video after exporting. But you should note that in some online video editing tool, the video resolution may be limited to 480p in the free plan.
While, free online video editors like Clip Champ didn’t watermark your video but the quality is limited to 480P. Video Toolbox can remain the original quality and keeps no watermark, but the interface isn’t intuitive. The rising star Kapwing will be a good choice if you don’t need many editing features.
2. Is There Any Online Video Maker With Music And Pictures?
For those who want to use the music and pictures from the online video maker, I recommend you try Magisto and Kizoa. From the description of these two editors, you can see they are a perfect match.
Conclusion
Above are some free online video makers that you can use right in your browser on both Windows, Mac, Linux or mobile devices if you like. Most of these online video makers are beginners friendly and easy to use since they provide simple editing features. But some of them may need you to register first to use the online video editing tools, and some may leave a braning watermark in the free version.
However, Filmora is one of the easiest-to-use home video editing software with special editing features lets you seamlessly stitch together video clips, music & text, apply effects and get a professional-looking home movie in minutes. All classic video editing functions such as trim, crop, zoom, cut, split as well as stunning video effects (PIP, Green Screen, Faceo-off, etc) are provided. Up to 100 audio and video tracks to use.

#12. Online Video Cutter
Though it isn’t a video editor to some degree, this intuitive online video editing tool application appears user-friendly and it isn’t limited to cut videos as the name indicates. You can upload videos from computer or via Dropbox, Google Drive or URL directly. With this online video cutter, you can easily rotate the videos to 90, 180 or even 270 degrees, crop them, trim or apply several professional style editing features to create incredible projects. You can save the video with the original quality or to 1080P Full HD.
It can easily handle the maximum file size of 500MB and allow users to access any popular media file format with ease. It is free to use and you can access all advanced features even without buying any license.
What I like about this online video editing tool is that you don’t need to register to use it and there is also no watermark in the saved video. But it would be greater if this online tool can integrate some music and effects as well.
1. Is There Any Online Video Editor No Watermark?
Yes, there are some free online video editors without watermarks, such as ClipChamp, Online Video Cutter and Hippo Video after exporting. But you should note that in some online video editing tool, the video resolution may be limited to 480p in the free plan.
While, free online video editors like Clip Champ didn’t watermark your video but the quality is limited to 480P. Video Toolbox can remain the original quality and keeps no watermark, but the interface isn’t intuitive. The rising star Kapwing will be a good choice if you don’t need many editing features.
2. Is There Any Online Video Maker With Music And Pictures?
For those who want to use the music and pictures from the online video maker, I recommend you try Magisto and Kizoa. From the description of these two editors, you can see they are a perfect match.
Conclusion
Above are some free online video makers that you can use right in your browser on both Windows, Mac, Linux or mobile devices if you like. Most of these online video makers are beginners friendly and easy to use since they provide simple editing features. But some of them may need you to register first to use the online video editing tools, and some may leave a braning watermark in the free version.
However, Filmora is one of the easiest-to-use home video editing software with special editing features lets you seamlessly stitch together video clips, music & text, apply effects and get a professional-looking home movie in minutes. All classic video editing functions such as trim, crop, zoom, cut, split as well as stunning video effects (PIP, Green Screen, Faceo-off, etc) are provided. Up to 100 audio and video tracks to use.

Personally, I don’t recommend using online tools since sometimes the network connection isn’t good, and when there is a network error, all the efforts are gone. Editing videos with online tools also need high upload and download speed, so it’s suitable for editing short and small size video clips. Besides, online video editing solutions maybe not the best choice if you need more advanced editing options and beautiful video effects. In this case, I highly recommend Wondershare Filmora for the tool you can’t miss. Just download it to have a try to explore the editing features, plentiful effects and presets. It can be used on Mac and Windows computers both and is suitable for beginners and semi-pros both.

Though you can import 4K footage, it is recommended to compress it first since large files may cause problems when editing, and the video footage can’t be exported in 4K. I’m not sure what the problem is, but when I added the audio to the video and play it back, it didn’t go smooth. Let me know if you’ve met the same issue when using it in the comment below.

You will find it much easier to personalize several details of video clips like position, size, duration, timing, etc. There is no need to register to access all these incredible features so most professionals, as well as beginners, prefer to use Kizoa for their routine needs. But if you need to download or share the video, you still need to register.
There is no timeline, you just need to add your photos and video footage to the storyboard at the bottom, click the Play button to preview the result. Every time you select an effect, Kizoa will indicate how to do it next, which makes it easier for beginners. But there will be a watermark in the Free plan, and the exported video is limited to 720P, and you need to upgrade to the paid plan to remove the watermark.

#9. Hippo Video
Hippo Video is an all-in-one video marketing platform that also provides video editing tools. You can add your media files from a computer or from Google Drive, but as it is claimed that video formats are limited to mp4, Mkv, Flv, 3gp, and mpg, and the supported maximum video file is 500MB, and you can only add one video at importing. Besides importing videos, you can also use Hippo Video to record your desktop screen, webcam, and voiceover.
The free version does provide some basic editing features such as split, trim, crop, add text or resize, and add simple titles, emojis, and callouts, but if you want to do some professional editing, you may need to recommend it to your friends or upgrade your account.
You need to register for this online platform first before editing. And there is no video footage nor stock music available (maybe it is hidden in the Pro editing mode). You can share the video directly to social media platforms such as FB, Twitter, YouTube, or via email. You can also download the clip to your desk. NO watermark in Free Plan.

#10. Magisto
Magisto is a great online video maker that is really popular for automatically turning what would otherwise be an everyday type video into a beautiful poignant movie and outstanding social videos. It is user-friendly and very quick with all the tools you’d expect from software you hocked your kidney to buy.
After signing up with your FB or G+ account, you can add photos and videos to Magisto also provides various video templates which cover different industries such as Birthday wishes, Wedding, promotion, announce and inspiration. Next just choose the editing styles from popular, family, business, social, seasonal, fun, and clean. You can preview the style by hovering the cursor over the thumbnail. Some styles may need to upgrade to use. Then, you can choose music from the built-in music library or upload your own music. Magisto will complete the following editing tasks and add transitions to the video automatically.
Magisto is a cross-platform which means you can use it on Mobile devices, tablets, and the web, just use the same account and you can access your videos on all devices. You can share the video to social media platforms directly, but if you want to save the videos to a computer, you need to upgrade your plan or invite friends to get the free download.

#11. Kapwing
Kapwing provides lots of online video editing related products such as online meme generator, video maker, video resizer, and video trimmer, add subtitles, add audio and loop video, as well as an all-in-one online video studio. This lets you combine videos, GIFs, and photos, add texts and audio to create a brand new video.
To editing videos, just upload your media file from the computer or paste the video URL to start. Kapwing allows you to customize the output video size in 1:1, 9:16, 16:9, 4:5, or 5:4, do some basic editing such as trim, crop, change speed or mute audio. You can also add images to video to make a PIP mode video , and some shapes to make the video with fun. Besides, this online video maker also provides samples, so you can use the samples before uploading your own media. You can download the edited video directly or share it to social accounts. There will be a watermark if you didn’t sign in a Kapwing account. To remove it, just sign in with your Google account or Facebook.

#12. Online Video Cutter
Though it isn’t a video editor to some degree, this intuitive online video editing tool application appears user-friendly and it isn’t limited to cut videos as the name indicates. You can upload videos from computer or via Dropbox, Google Drive or URL directly. With this online video cutter, you can easily rotate the videos to 90, 180 or even 270 degrees, crop them, trim or apply several professional style editing features to create incredible projects. You can save the video with the original quality or to 1080P Full HD.
It can easily handle the maximum file size of 500MB and allow users to access any popular media file format with ease. It is free to use and you can access all advanced features even without buying any license.
What I like about this online video editing tool is that you don’t need to register to use it and there is also no watermark in the saved video. But it would be greater if this online tool can integrate some music and effects as well.
1. Is There Any Online Video Editor No Watermark?
Yes, there are some free online video editors without watermarks, such as ClipChamp, Online Video Cutter and Hippo Video after exporting. But you should note that in some online video editing tool, the video resolution may be limited to 480p in the free plan.
While, free online video editors like Clip Champ didn’t watermark your video but the quality is limited to 480P. Video Toolbox can remain the original quality and keeps no watermark, but the interface isn’t intuitive. The rising star Kapwing will be a good choice if you don’t need many editing features.
2. Is There Any Online Video Maker With Music And Pictures?
For those who want to use the music and pictures from the online video maker, I recommend you try Magisto and Kizoa. From the description of these two editors, you can see they are a perfect match.
Conclusion
Above are some free online video makers that you can use right in your browser on both Windows, Mac, Linux or mobile devices if you like. Most of these online video makers are beginners friendly and easy to use since they provide simple editing features. But some of them may need you to register first to use the online video editing tools, and some may leave a braning watermark in the free version.
However, Filmora is one of the easiest-to-use home video editing software with special editing features lets you seamlessly stitch together video clips, music & text, apply effects and get a professional-looking home movie in minutes. All classic video editing functions such as trim, crop, zoom, cut, split as well as stunning video effects (PIP, Green Screen, Faceo-off, etc) are provided. Up to 100 audio and video tracks to use.
