Hi ZF, Although title effect has limited style options, if it is all you need, you can apply the effect to nothing in a video track reserved for your text. Use in/out points to establish the time span.
If it doesn't work with your Cinelerra, then maybe you have an older version than mine (I do not know when the feature was added). In this case you need a black image and Cinelerra will not make it for you. Get your frame dimensions from Settings > Format and create a black PNG in Gimp. Then create a new video track, import the black PNG, paste into track, and stretch to full length of project. Use either fader or mute controls to switch between your movie and text track. Craig.
