If needed, use the selection tool to drag your video or audio to the start so both are lined up at the far left.
Trim your audio to end at the end of your video.

Make sure your playhead (blue line) is at the start of your video.
Select your timeline area if it does not have a light blue border around it.
On your keyboard click "cmd" + "T"
- A pink rectangle should show up on track V2 called "New Text Layer"

In the right-side toolbar, click "Essential Graphics" to open a bunch of text options.
Double-click on the text on your video to highlight the text in the textbox.
Type: "(Your Name) Presents"
Under "Text" click the centered icon
Under "Align and Transform" click the second icon that will center your text on the screen.

Choose a font on the right-side toolbar.
Click the selection tool, and click and drag your text to move it somewhere else on the video. You'll see that this adjusts the numbers under "Align"

A keyframe marks the point in time where you specify something such as position, opacity, or volume. It is a diamond shape.

To create a change over time, you set at least 2 keyframes—one keyframe for the value at the start, and another keyframe for the value at the end.

We are going to make our text fade onto the screen:

Move your blue playhead to 0:00 (the start)
Select the pink rectangle in the timeline.
In your top-left panel click "Effect Controls"
Look for the row titled "Opacity" and click the arrow to the left to open it.
Make the starting keyframe:
- Click the little timer icon next to the second "Opacity" - it should turn blue
- This makes your first keyframe - notice for that keyframe the percentage is 100%
- Change the percentage to 0% (this is our starting keyframe)
Make the ending keyframe:
- Move your blue playhead out to 2:00 seconds
- Change the percentage to 100% - this will make a new keyframe (this is our ending keyframe)
Watch your video now to see the text fade in.

We are going to make our text now move off the screen:

Move your blue playhead to 3:00 seconds.
In your top-left panel click "Effects Controls"
Make the starting keyframe:
- Click the little timer icon next to "Position" (this creates a starting keyframe at the current position)
Make the ending keyframe:
- Move the blue playhead near the end of the text (pink rectangle)
- Hover over one of the 2 numbers next to position. This will change your mouse/pointer to a finger with arrows. Click and drag one of the numbers to move the text until it is off the screen.
  1. The first number adjusts the position left/right: lower number = left / higher number = right
  2. The second number adjusts the position up/down: higher number = down / lower number = up
Watch your video now to see the text move off the screen.

Move your playhead to 6:00 seconds
Make sure nothing is selected (click the dark gray area to deselect) then on your keyboard

In your top-left panel click "Effects Controls"
Make the starting keyframe:
1. Click the little timer icon next to "Scale"
2. Change the # from 100 to 0

Move your blue playhead to a few seconds before the end of the audio/video.
In the top-left panel click "Effect Controls"

Make the ending keyframe:
