Changing the color of titles in Memories on Web

Jane Kroening followed her first question with another: "It looks as though the text I put over a slide (always in white?) is sometimes difficult to read. Is there a way to have the script on the same slide, but not on top of the picture, which is usually over the subject’s face?"

My response: Jane, if your titles are full page, then I'd suggest making a separate title slide and putting the letters over a color background, and placing these full page titles in between your pictures in the timeline rather than over the pictures.

If your titles take up less than half of the screen, then you can move them lower. Double click on the title slide in the timeline and you'll get a window that says "Picture/Video Settings". Click on the "Edit" button in the lower right hand corner of the window. Now move your cursor over the highlighted type and the cursor changes to a hand. You can use the hand to drag the title toward the bottom of the page and off of someone's face. You can also change the color of the title in this window by clicking on the "A" with the color line under it. Stay with bright colors, like yellow or light blue.

Hope this helps!

Jane's response: Thanks for the tips….I’m almost done with my video. I really appreciate your time and help.
