Park the Position Indicator over a title segment in your Timeline (make sure the segment’s track is turned on).
STEP 1: Set your position
STEP 2: Enter your mode
Enter the Effect Mode by clicking the Effect Mode button, or hitting the right-bracket key on your keyboard ("]").
STEP 3: Open the Title tool
In the Effect Editor window, click the Other Options button (the little button to the left of the word "Title").
STEP 4: Make changes to your title
Once inside the Title tool, make any needed changes to your title, then
close the tool by clicking the box in the upper-left corner of its
window.
STEP 5: Save your new clip
The Save dialog appears—click the Save button and your title is now
modified. You’ll find a new title clip in the same bin as your
sequence; your original title clip remains intact in its original
location. I find this particularly useful for updating slates on my
rough-cuts, which tend to change daily. Again, there is always more
than one way to skin a cat in Xpress Pro/DV—but the more you know the
better, and the better you can make the machine work for you!
