    In the Inspector>Title, click in the media well and then in the browser click the image you want to use.

    Once you click on the Media Well Inset parameter, the screen/viewer will split. Your next step is to find the image or video clip you want to insert into the drop zone region (gray rectangle with downward pointing arrow). You can click the mouse on any clip or image either in the Event Browser or the Storyline. For an image, you can click anywhere on the image because it is still (all frames will be filled with the same image). For a video clip, it is important *where* you click in the clip because that will be the FIRST FRAME of the video that will start playing when the Title starts. You will notice that the mouse cursor turns into a hand with a pointing finger. As you skim over a video clip, you will see the "current frame" of the skim in the split left viewer. When you find the start frame you want, click the mouse then Apply Clip (under the split right viewer). FCPX will give you a visual indicator when you have moused over the first frame in the form of a "filmstrip track" on the left edge like the image below:

    (For clips in the Event Browser, you may have to adjust the "thumbnail duration" from All to a longer time frame, like "1m", for clips in the storyline, watch the timecode indicator, it will give you feedback about the frame number you are skimming over [1 is the lowest]).

     

    As I said earlier, you can use a clip already in the storyline. This is helpful if you need to make a color correction or add special effects to the clip you want placed in the drop zone. You can add the clip to the storyline (as a connected clip or at the end somewhere out of the way and make your modifications to it). Once you set the clip in the drop zone, you can delete it from the storyline if it is no longer needed for anything else. You can also set up several clips (with transitions etc.) in the storyline and create a compound clip out of the group of clips, then use the Compound clip as the source for the drop zone.

     

    Here is an example of a clip that has a special effect applied to it that was created in the storyline (then deleted once the drop zone was filled):
