How do you add a simple dissolve to a Title

[GuyS]

For some reason I can't add a simple dissolve to a tiltle I have created and placed on the timeline in Edius. With Avid Liquid you just dragged and dropped the dissolve to the front and the back of the title ...as placed on the timeline. That doesn't work with Edius. I'm sure there must be a simple way to fade in and out a title?

drag and drop the "Title Mixer dissolve" to the title on the title track

you can also drag a regular Video dissolve but only if you put the title on a Video track

I can't seem to find the one that fades in and then fades out on the title?

drag a title file and drop on to the title track (1T), the default will be dissolve in to start and dissolve out at the end of the title. Then you can use TitleMixers to change to different effects.

Title mixer

If for some reason you don't have a transition, you can add one from the Title Mixers. To be more specific - look at the Title Mixer then choose Fade to dissolve in or out

Weird. It won't let me drag the tile in the bin to the Title track. I have to take the title to the end of the clips on the timeline, place it on a Video track and then drag it to the Title track. Once on the Title track I can't add dissolves and I don't seem to have a titlemixer option that says it will add a dissolve at the front and the end of the title clip.

check the 1T track to make sure not by accidental you locked the track (lock icon next to the T should be gray). And check Setting - Application Settings - Duration - Title - tick on "Automatically add title mixer ..." (should be default setting).

I can't add anymore to Anton's advice as far as the title tracks go, but as his screen shot points out, it is Fade, not dissolve.

That's it! Fade....not dissolve.

Thanks everyone for help!
