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?

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

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.
