Q: How do I save my title settings in FCE?

I am creating complex titles in FCE using the lower-third feature.  How do I save these settings to use the exact same ones later?  I don't want to start over and may not remember exactly what they were.  They need to match through the video.  It seems that I have done this before but can't remember and of course nothing in the documentation.

iMac (24-inch Early 2009), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5)

    I cannot recall if FCE has a Favorites bin in the Browser like FCP does, but if it's there, drag the title clip from the Timeline to your Favorites folder - or - probably the simplest method would be to create a "Favorites" project; create a new project file in FCE and Save As "Favorites" (or whatever name you choose).  Copy the title clips to the new project and save.  You can add different title clips (or other clips) to that project over time.  Whenever you need to use those titles again, just open the "Favorites" project file and copy them into the new project.
