can see the video screen in the top right corner
– with an enlarged part of your title. In the top
left corner, you can rst decide if the letters ap-
pear as “Color” (single color) or as a "Pattern". If
you choose “Color”, the color box opens so that
you can choose the color, for example yellow.
After you have conrmed your color box set-
tings by clicking "OK", you can decide to add
an outline. You can dene the strength of the
letters’ outline by moving the slider next to it (0
= no frame, 6 = strongest outline). Set it to 4 for
example. Now you can click onto the “Color/Pat-
tern” button to call up the imagepool, in which
you can click onto the color button in the lower
right area (left to "Ok") to call up the color box.
Choose a color, for example red.
After you have closed the image pool you can
specify the intensity of the "Shadow" by using
the slider in the "Style" window.
Choose setting 6 for instance. Now use the
arrow directions to determine the "Direction" of
the shadow and its "Color", e.g. black.
The remaining buttons in the “Style” screen can
be ignored for this example
After you have closed the "Style" window
by clicking on "Ok", you can specify the
"Alignment" of the text under "Line".You have
the choice of left, centered, and right. For this
example it should be "centered".
You exit text entry by a nal click on the "TE"
symbol and you can call up a new operations
panel with the button "Boxes". Here under "Text"
you can use "top", "centered" or "bottom" to

the "TE" button.

background", so that the checkmark turns into a
hyphen.
Now you can add another page by pressing
the “Pages” button. Another operation panel
appears. Here, you should press “Insert” and
answer the posed question “Insert where?” by
selecting “Behind”.
The top display of the operation panel should
now say “Page 2/2” meaning that the second of
two pages has been added.
Enter the word "with" on this page. The settings
you have made for color, frame, position, etc.
are still valid.
In the "Pages" menu click onto “Insert” again
and add another page (the third). On this page,
enter the word “SMART EDIT”.

contained on the three pages of the scene.
You can save this text for future projects. In the

keyboard appears and you can enter a name for

After you are nished, click "OK" in the main
operation panel. You are returned to the main
