Add graphics in MAGIX VEGAS Pro

When you install Titler Pro 7, it is automatically added to any major non-linear editor (NLE) on your computer. Follow the steps below to add Titler Pro 7 graphics to VEGAS Pro projects.

Note: VEGAS Pro's feature to Remove from Project and Delete File(s) is not compatible with Titler Pro assets.

There are two ways to add a Titler Pro graphic to a Vegas Pro project:

• Add a graphic as a media generator
• Add a graphic as an effect

   • The graphic's resolution and frame rate are determined by the project's settings in VEGAS Pro.

   Important!

   • The clip will cut off if the length of the clip in the timeline is shorter than the duration specified in the Video Media Generators panel.

Tip: Copy a Titler Pro media generator

1. Copy a Titler Pro clip in VEGAS Pro's timeline.
2. Click the timeline where you want to insert the new clip, then paste the clip into the timeline.
3. Select one of the following options in the Paste Options dialog:
   
   
   • Create a new copy of the source media — Select this option to treat the new clip as a unique graphic, which you can customize independently of the original clip.
   • Create a reference to the original media — Select this option to treat the new clip as a duplicate of the original clip, so changes you make to either clip appear in both clips.

Add a graphic as an effect

1. Open a project in VEGAS Pro.
2. Add a video to the timeline if you haven't already done so.
3. Add edits to the video where you want to insert the Titler Pro effect.
   
   

   The duration of the Titler Pro effect is determined by the duration of the video slice where you'll add the effect.

5. Click the NewBlue Titler Pro 7 - OpenFX effect in the Video FX library.
6. Click the Title Pro preset thumbnail and drag it onto a clip in the timeline.
