Text Fade In on existing image

[grNadpa]

Using “text fade” in this forum’s search comes up empty.

To get the word “Introduction” to fade in on top of my “Video Memories” PNG template, I created a separate PNG that contained only the word “Introduction” on a transparent background. I then created two tracks. And faded-in the Introduction.png visual. It works. Is that the best way? I

That’s one way of doing it. There really is no best way, just many different ways.
Another way is to use

to create a transparent clip with text. Overlay that on a track, use the fades to fade the text.

Also, if you want to get fancy use the Text HTML overlays for text.
@jonray has quite a few tutorials for that here .
