00:00:01.120 --> 00:00:05.540
Using a specific Title several times
within your project or over several projects?

00:00:05.540 --> 00:00:09.280
You want to probably make it a default -and here's how you do it, right now.

00:00:10.600 --> 00:00:19.280
The default Title in Final Cut Pro is set to "Basic Title" and the default Lower Third is set to "Basic Lower Third."

00:00:19.940 --> 00:00:22.420
We'll show you how to change these defaults.

00:00:24.740 --> 00:00:31.520
First, open the Titles and Generators
sidebar by clicking on this icon in the top left sidebar.

00:00:33.680 --> 00:00:38.420
Search through the categories of Titles
and determine which one you want to set as your default.

00:00:39.300 --> 00:00:41.220
We'll choose this one.

00:00:42.040 --> 00:00:46.200
To set the default Title,
hold "Ctrl" and click the Title.

00:00:46.560 --> 00:00:49.760
Then just choose
"Make Default Title."

00:00:51.440 --> 00:00:54.320
We'll also set a default Lower Third.

00:00:56.000 --> 00:00:59.700
A Lower Third provides information about
the footage on screen.

00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:05.520
For example - introductory text in
documentaries.

00:01:06.560 --> 00:01:11.860
To set a new default Lower Third, hold "Ctrl"and click on the Lower Third preset.

00:01:12.400 --> 00:01:17.280
Then, choose "Make Default Lower Third."

00:01:17.520 --> 00:01:21.240
Now that we have our default set, let's
add them to our project.

00:01:22.240 --> 00:01:27.400
In the Timeline, move your playhead or
skimmer wherever you want to add a Title.

00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:35.200
To add your default Title, navigate up to
"Edit," "Connect Title,"and then click the title name.

00:01:35.960 --> 00:01:38.820
Or, use the handy shortcut "Ctrl + T."

00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:45.248
We'll also add our default Lower Third.

00:01:45.248 --> 00:01:55.000
We'll place our playhead here,  then navigate up to "Edit," "Connect Title," and click the Lower Third's name.

00:01:55.240 --> 00:01:58.900
Or, use the shortcut "Ctrl +Shift +T."

00:02:02.480 --> 00:02:08.479
If you master the shortcuts "Ctrl + T" and
"Ctrl +Shift + T" ...

00:02:08.480 --> 00:02:13.660
...You'll be able to add your favorite
Titles and Lower Thirds to your projects faster than ever.

00:02:14.520 --> 00:02:21.920
So, if you find yourself
using the same Title over and over and over again, make it your default and save some time .

00:02:22.320 --> 00:02:24.760
