Titles are words that pop or scroll onto the screen.
They are usually used to introduce a video, and say whom or what it is about. Titles should be bold, simple and easy to read. A dissolve is like a paragraph indent. A short portion of the scene that's ending remains transparent over a short portion of the next scene. Some camcorders are able to perform in-camera dissolves.
