I'm using PD8 trial version, and I'd like to be able to add a Title at the start of my project. From what I noticed when I add a title it simple puts the title words over the first frame(s), I'd perfer it to be seperate, not write on my project.

The one work around I found was to add a transition, that does nothing, to the begining of the project and then add my title. That seems to work, but not sure that's the best way.

Is it possible to add in a break in the time line and then add the title, or does the title have to be some time of image file that I'll have to create or download?

I know I can go into the title editor and create the title, but it doesn't seem to allow me to change the background color from transparent, to black or white or whatever. In this project I'm simply looking to put up a black background with some basic wording introducing the project, nothing fancy.

I'm not using menus when I create the DVD.

Thanks,
Bob PD15
