We could get all "Star Wars" on titles :-). But, this is supposed to be a
group of like minded people who in some way add to the Portland area Linux
eco system (users, devs, ops, devops, designers, etc.), not content
creation experts. When Rich posted for help on a video I, who rarely post,
thought why not help. After all, many of us probably know others from
other knowledge domains that could offer help for things not exactly
"Linux", sort of quora for pdxlinux. I hate to say this to a group of
people who love Linux, but Linux itself has become boring. Systemd
replacing init is probably the most exciting (misunderstood) thing that's
happened to (some) distros in recent years.
25 years of video production experience is good knowledge. Especially to a
group of (mostly) engineers.

The rule Brooks brought could be sufficient for your problem, but while a
video editor is certainly more qualified than me in dealing with your
problem; the rule doesn't account for the two things I mentioned.

It depends on the pacing of the video and what you want the audience's
reaction to be. For example, if showing the title is meant to be
accompanied by beautiful music that is supposed to make your audience feel
like an epic adventure is coming then it might be best to not rush the
title's appearance. On the other hand, if you want to do a quick intro that
causes your audience to feel something as well as curiosity and after the
title to jump in straight into the video then it might be best to keep it
short. There is no hard and fast rule unless someone figured one or some
out.

I've a .jpg of the video title that I'll record using vokoscreenNG. Using
pitivi I'll edit that short file in front of the video content itself.
With my very limited video creation experience I have no sense of how
long a
video title should appear. So I'd like suggestions on how long that title
should be displayed.
TIA,
Rich
