Editing - Using Photoshop

A part of the music video, the title and artist must be placed at the beginning and at the end, much like the video shown on music channels. To do this, we decided to use Adobe Photoshop for the first part of the process.
After opening Photoshop, the first thing I did was create a new file. I decided to make this transparent, which meant that when eventually put into Final Cut Express, only the text would be visible.
Using the text tool, I selected an area and typed in the information needed. I changed the font and the size, as well as the colour of the text. Below is an image of the layers used in Photoshop.
The layer filled with black was eventually deleted, as it was only there so I could see how the white text looked. The image below show how the text looked.
We saved this image as a .png file, meaning that we were able to have transparent areas. We then imported this file into LiveType.
