Re: [Avid-L2] BORDER on TITLE ??

Roger's suggestion is probably better (I forgot Border was included in
DVE when I wrote my previous response). With an alpha graphic you'll
want to drag and replace (rather than alt/option drag to nest) the
Avid matte key, enable Apply To Title, and disable the Opaque Source
checkbox.
