      Hi Michael.

      If the word “Title” is appearing briefly at the start of your YouTube video, it’s likely due to a video editing or captioning issue. Here are some steps you can take to resolve this issue:

      1. Check Video Editing Software:

      Review your video editing software and timeline to ensure that there is no text or title overlay added at the beginning of your video inadvertently. Check for any text layers or captions that might have been accidentally placed at the start.

      2. Review YouTube Video Settings:

      Log in to your YouTube account and navigate to the video in question.
      Click on “YouTube Studio” to access the video settings.

      In the “Video Details” section, review the video description, tags, and any other metadata to make sure that the word “Title” is not included in the description or any other text fields.

      3. Caption and Subtitle Settings:

      Check the captions or subtitles settings for your video. If you have uploaded captions or subtitles, review them to ensure that “Title” is not part of the caption file.

      4. Re-upload the Video:

      If you can’t identify the source of the issue, you may consider re-uploading the video to YouTube, making sure that there are no overlays or text added at the beginning during the upload process.

      5. Seek Professional Help:

      If the issue persists and you can’t identify the source, consider seeking help from a professional video editor or a YouTube expert who can review your video and settings to pinpoint the problem.

      It’s important to thoroughly review both your video editing software and your YouTube settings to locate and remove the “Title” text that’s appearing at the start of your video. Once you’ve resolved the issue, you can upload the corrected video to YouTube.

      If the word “Title” is appearing at the start of your YouTube video, it might be an issue with the video editing or exporting process. Here are some steps you can take to resolve this:

      Check Your Video Editing Software:

      Open the project file in your video editing software (e.g., Adobe Premiere, Final Cut Pro, iMovie).

      Review the beginning of your video timeline to ensure there is no text overlay or title card with the word “Title.”

      Inspect Video Export Settings:

      When exporting your video, make sure there are no default titles or overlays added during the export process.

      Check for any export settings related to adding text or titles at the beginning of the video.

      Review YouTube Upload Settings:

      Sometimes, YouTube’s video uploader might add automatic captions or titles. During the upload process, check for any options related to adding titles and disable them.

      Re-upload the Video:

      If you’ve identified the issue, re-edit the video to remove the unwanted title, and then re-upload it to YouTube.

      Use YouTube’s Video Editor:

      After uploading the video, you can use YouTube’s built-in video editor to trim or cut the beginning of the video to remove the unwanted title.

      Check Subtitle or Caption Tracks:

      Ensure that you don’t have subtitle or caption tracks that include the word “Title” at the beginning of the video. Some video players might display the subtitle track automatically.

      Clear Browser Cache:

      If you’ve viewed the video multiple times, your browser might be caching an older version of the video. Clear your browser cache and try viewing the video again.

      Contact YouTube Support:

      If the issue persists and you can’t identify the problem, reach out to YouTube Support for assistance. They might be able to provide insights based on your specific video and account settings.

      By going through these steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the issue causing the word “Title” to appear at the start of your YouTube video.
