Below is a list of are some video tutorials I found on the web, illustrating how to do titling in Avid Media Composer. There are several options (tools/plugins) in the Avid suite, from simple to more sophisticated (and complicated). Notably, the Marquee tool can automatically generate a set of lower thirds and text animations etc. in consistent style based on text in a simple text-file. Really useful for apportioning the work between different people or simply editing the text on say a mobile phone (maybe even with dictation app).
