products. Fonts marked with „A-“ are not always complete and
may contain deviations from the usual fonts.
The size of the font is determined with the slider. The display
shows a preview of the current font type and font size as
applied to „MacroSystem“. In addition to using installed fonts,
you can also directly import your own fonts. Only TrueType
fonts can be imported. To do this, click in this menu on the
„Import font(s)“ button. This will lead you to a selection menu
in which you can select and confirm the storage medium that
contains the fonts. You will get a list of available fonts.
The currently selected font will be shown in a preview. This
way, you can use the multi-select function to select the fonts
you want to import. You can import a maximum of 100 fonts.
Once you have check marked all fonts you want to import,
click on OK to start importing them. After this, the fonts will be
included in your font selection. These fonts are listed with their
font name. They are marked by an „A“ with a superscript „x“.
Should you have installed too many fonts, you can remove the
superfluous ones by clicking on the „Delete font(s)“ button.
You should then mark the ones you want to delete and click on
OK to delete them.
Open the „Style“ menu to change the look of your text. On the
top right side you see a preview of your text settings. Press
“Color” for the color box or “Pattern” to open the “Select pat-
tern” screen. In this screen you can select a pattern of your
choice. The mode (positive/negative) and alpha value can also
and you don‘t know where it is (an empty line or even a space
is enough). Try to find this location. In large texts, this beco-
mes a difficult undertaking. It is easier when you select the
entire text and choose a single uniform font. Unfortunately, this
will change areas that have been modified separately.
Several menus can change their position. This is the function
of the two buttons on the left side of the menu. When you want
to edit the part of the title that is covered by the menu, or when
you want to have a better view of the scene in its entirety, you
can use both these buttons. The menu can be positioned close
to the lower or the upper screen border. Use the button with
the double arrow to move the menu to the opposite border.
The other button in the menu reduces the menu to a minimum
to allow you to view nearly the complete scene with the title
uncovered.
The button with the wrench opens a menu with the option
to show a grid, which may help to position text panels more
accurately.
2.1.3 Text input and formatting
You can enter and edit text via an externally connected key-
board, the keyboard of the laptop, or the on-screen keyboard
of the titler. Click on the keyboard symbol at the bottom right
of the menu to open this keyboard.
To change the font size and shape, make sure the cursor is
positioned in the row, where you would like to make your
changes. The look of the whole paragraph will be changed. If
you only want to change the formatting of one line, this parti-
cular line must have been completed with a paragraph mark
(Return / Enter).
Note: with the full version of Title-Studio activated, you always
have to select the text before you can change it. So you can
perform formatting of single words up to the complete text.
Text style
When you want to change the look of a text by changing its
font, shape or color, make sure the cursor is positioned within
the text (see above) and click on either the button „Style“ or
„Font“.
Click on the Font button to open a window in which you can
choose a font and set a font size (10-500 points). You can
choose the font by clicking on one, or by using the scroll bar in
the same way as in the effect list. Next to the fonts in the list,
there are also different symbols. Most of the fonts that come
with the program are marked with an „A“. This means that
they contain all usual Western European characters). Fonts
that have a face next to them (one is included in the package)
do not contain letters and punctuation marks, but images or
symbols. Fonts that are marked with „A+“ also contain Eastern
European characters. These fonts are available as extension
