While using video wave production editor, I wanted to add a title to a specific group of my Italy Pictures so I right click and ask to insert a color panel, no problem!  When I go to add text the panel in the Preview screen, still no problem.  When I go to play the addition, the text has been added to every picture after the new color panel insertion.  Can't figure out what I am doing wrong.

If you click on the AddText Effect, it prompts you to choose where to add text: entire production (Text track) or on the internal text track of selected panel. My guess is that you want to choose the second one.

You can actually add it on any of the text tracks, but if it is not the internal track, then you have to adjust the time that the text is left open.

When I did a slideshow of the photos that my wife and her two friends took on their trip to Italy, last year, I had the text fade in on one photo and fade out in a photo one or two spaces from the first one.  An example would be the text I added to the Trevi Fountain.  It was text identifying Trevi Fountain, and I faded it in on the first picture and had it fade out on the 3rd picture of the Trevi Fountain.  It looks nice.

I must be doing something wrong,  I am clicking the Add Text (A+)when the color panel is in the Preview Mode.  WHen I click the Add Text Effect in the Add Content all I get is a pull down box with the type of effect to add.

Select the color panel, click the button to go to the internal tracks, drag the text to the preview screen.  If you already have text, it will not give you an option to add more, only to change the text effect.  If you want to edit the text, just click on it on the preview screen.
