Tips & Warnings
You can save title templates in different formats. For example, if you use Photoshop to design the title, save it as a PSD file.
Bold, heavier fonts work best for video titles. Fine fonts are harder to read and sometimes appear to flicker on the screen.
Each system or computer you work on must include all of the fonts and images that you used in the template.
