fcpx how to edit title text

This is incorrect information. You really do not have to do anything in the Title inspector, except maybe adjust the speed, which is a combination of the slider and the length of the text block in the timeline. You can enter the text directly in the Text inspector.

I would recommend, if you're just getting started with the application, to look through the IzzyVideo tutorials.

Select the title in the timeline, then click the text inspector.

@pamparis, I suggested adding a new Far Far Away title to the timeline to make sure that you were working with it on the timeline, not trying to do something from the title template browser. We can't see your Mac or what you're clicking on so sometimes I find it best to be verbose and not make assumptions. My thinking was if you were able to see how to edit the text of this newly created one, then you'd see how clicking on your original Far Far Away title in the timeline would allow you to edit its text.

But if you're saying that you select the Far Far Away title in your timeline (making sure it's outlined in yellow), then click on the the Text inspector icon (don't click on anything else before this), and you still can't edit text, something is wrong.

Can you post 3 or 4 screenshots showing what you're doing and the Title inspector that won't let you edit the text?

Try this:

Drag the Far Far Away title onto your timeline,

click once on the title in the timeline,

click the text inspector icon,

edit the text there in the text inspector (not in the video window).
