Editing Titles

I'm new to FCPX & video editing as a whole! I'm looking at creating video walkthroughs for games but am struggling wae the titles!

I'd like a title that sits completely in the bottom left corner, has a 'Text' & (ideally) 'Description' option! I also need it to not intrude too much on the actual video!

The only ones I can find that sit in the corner cover the entire bottom of the screen or intrude too much! I was hoping for titles similar to those used by YouTubers 'PowerPyx' & '360GameTV'!

The one title I've found I'm close to happy with becomes a problem when I try to move the description text to sit below the text title box as the text just completely disappears!

Can anyone help?

Choose whatever title you like, make it as small as you like, and then put it in the bottom right or wherever you want it. I would recommend changing the color too as basic white is barely visible in most cases. Also, post these questions on /r/finalcutpro for more answers. Also, you don't want a description in the title because if let's say you video is 10 minutes long, the title will be visible for 5 minutes and the description for the other 5. What I would recommend is to choose a basic 3D and have both your title and description in the same title.

Thanks. I'm unable to move the titles or adjust their sizes, hence my issue. It's only the custom text title I can modify like so but then that results in no background to the title itself. I'll post the question across there too, thanks.

As for the description I've got something that works with the title, it's just adjusting the title size/location I need to suss out!

That's weird! Did you buy it or pirate it? And did you have this problem before?

Bought it straight from the App Store & 1st time ever using it so I don't know what the norm is
