Once setting duration and placement, you have all the time interval and the preview set fine to create text that does fit. You will notice that the Title Editor timeline will last as much as the Title clip. For example, if you want to place this text during a transition, put the Title clip right there. Second, place the text clip where you want it to be in your project. In fact, you can't change the time duration of the Title clip from the Title Editor, so you need to set it from the main timeline, stratching the edges.

The Title Editor lets you create these kind of clips, that you can then manage and edit as normal video clips. In general it can contain more pieces of text, geometrical shapes, motions and even multiple videos. A Title clip can be more complex than a simple piece of text. A new window, called Title Editor, is used to create Title clips, represented in green color in the timeline. To add custom text, place your playhead in a vacant side of your project, and then click on Create Title, the T icon next to the clef one. Hi there!
