This is the way I worked it out. But if one moves the red pointer line with a triangle to a new position and presses the T (text) icon is says Please select an existing title object in order to use this dialog or create a new object?? Also I find it always creates a new title on the track below the video track. But I usually put my music track below the video and then the text/title track below that. As I found by experience the image needed to be below the video track and never above it. So I tend to put the text/title track at the bottom. Maybe I should put the music track as the lowest track. But then sometimes the video has been recorded with audio. I then split them into 2 seperate tracks. The new text object jumps onto the audio track. Ok no big sweat I just drag it onto the correct track. I am trying to understand how this works (how the app alogrithims work). Not easy to pick up from the manual or some of the You Tube videos. They usually want to show a fancy dynamic type font. Not show first how to do the basic and then develop from that. Maybe I am a bit slow or something on the uptake. But thanks for your response. I will continue to try and master this excellent video editor.

Hi

. . . . Maybe I should put the music track as the lowest track. But then sometimes the video has been recorded with audio. I then split them into 2 seperate tracks. . . . .

There is no need to do this.

To specify which track the titles are added to click a blank area of the track header so it turns blue

all titles added from the Template tab will go to the selected track at the timeline cursor position when using the 'add' button

.

A quick method of duplicating a title object, after setting its position and size, is to hold down the Ctrl key while dragging the title object with the mouse ( Ctrl+ drag ), this is particularly useful if you are copying the text from a document into the title, you do not have to keep copying the title object again and the titles will all be in the same position.

Thanks I will explore all of that. I have made a few song videos one with movie tracks: So I am gradually learning.

If I move th pointer to a postion then go to fonts and templates and say use Alex Brush I get a text object which says Alex Brush but the Font is Arial? When I watched a video of this if I use the template say Alex Brush the font type should be Alex Brush. I thought with Video Editor Pro Premium I would have these fonts? Maybe I need to load them or install them? As far as I know I installed the app correctly. I paid for Magix Video Editor Pro Premium. Would be nice to use some of these Basic font templates such as Cabin Stretch etc...

Hi Graham.

I just tried this out on my MEP project and got Alex Brush.

I do know others in the past have said something similar. John CB I think also suffered something similar.

@grahamm7

With reference to that apparently "missing" font, when you first installed and registered the program did you also download and install all the additional content that would then be available for the Premium version?

Hi Graham, Jeff.

Hi Jeff.

your prompt made me look up Graham's version specs. MEP Pro has less Title Templates than Plus or Premium so may be missing Alex Brush.

Hi

. . . . Alex Brush I get a text object which says Alex Brush but the Font is Arial? . . .

Using Windows File Explorer open the C:\Windows\Fonts folder - do you see Alex Brush there - if so it is installed and you are experiencing an unusual hiccup with the title editor that I have seen happen (rarely fortunately).

With the Alex Brush title on the timeline deselect the text if it is already selected and select it again change the font to Baby Kruffy - we just need to see a big change in the font.

If it changes reselect the text and change it to Alex Brown.

The version I paid for was: movieeditpropremium2020 Magix Video Editor Pro Premium. I may not have installed all the other stuff but I then went to Install Extra Content and installed every tick box : Travel Maps: Demo; Design Elements 1 & 2; DVD Menus; Fade Effects; Templates 1 & 2; Sound Tracks; Premium Titles INT. That last one I would have thought would have the title template fonts?? Restarted App but when I select say one of the fonts such as Cabin Sketch it creates a text with the words Cabin Sketch as the text and uses Ariel? Wouldn't think I would have to do a restart?? So I am not getting these Font Title templates that are shown.

Looked in Windows/Font directory and there is no Alex Brush or Cabin Sketch etc.?? If that helps

So how do I install these missing fonts??

@grahamm7

Hi

You can download the Alex Brush font from here and Cabin Sketch here - you will get 2 Zip files.

Open the zip files with File Explorer and right click the .ttf file - it has the name of the font if you cannot see the file extension - and select Open .

In the dialog that opens select the Install button - you may need to confirm the next dialog if you get one
