reduce a text box by clicking on its border . A text box can only
be modified proportionally, by clicking on the corners . With the
option “Original” you use the pattern/graphic in original size .
This means that for a small text box only a part of the pattern
can be seen . A large text box is then not completely filled with
the pattern .
The option “tile” fills the entire text box with the selected
graphic . If you have selected a normal large pattern, then you
will see no difference with the option “Original” . If the graphic
is smaller than the text box, then it is set in original size tiled
behind each other, so that the entire box is filled with one and
the same graphic .
(6) The “Preview” button can be used to (if you have already
added a title effect to the storyboard) see a preview of the ef-
fect you have selected . If you have not yet added an effect, the
trackball pointer will display a little cross when trying to click
on “Preview” .
(7) A click on “Archive” opens a field displaying four buttons:
“Load”, “Save”, “Delete”, and “Cancel” . Clicking on “Load”
displays a list of the previously saved titles . In this list you se-
lect a title, either directly or with the slider, and confirm (“OK”) .
A click on “Save” displays the same list . There are now two
possible courses of action:
1 . You can click the gray rectangle below the list so that the
keyboard is displayed and you can assign a name to the previ-
ously created title, followed by clicking on “OK” within the
keyboard and in the text archive field .
2 . You can select a title from the list and then click on the gray
line which now contains the name of the selected effect . Within
the keyboard field you now overwrite this name with another
of your choice . The difference to the first possibility is that
you overwrite not only the name, but also the archived title,
which is then irrevocably lost . Alternatively, you can select a
title without clicking on the yellow line . You can then confirm
by clicking on OK . The selected entry will be replaced by the
previously created title, but it will keep its name . With the help
of archiving you can save your frequently used standard text
independently of projects and reuse them at any time .
If you click on “Delete”, a list of saved titles is displayed in
which you can now select the title to be deleted and confirm
with “OK” . A click on “Cancel” closes the menu without ac-
cepting any settings .
(8) A click on the “i” button displays information on the se-
lected title effect, the length of the effect (in the case that you
have already placed it in the storyboard), and whether you
have applied the typefaces installed only in the demo version
to your text boxes . If, while experimenting, you have been us-
ing a demo font and are now unsure where to find it (a space is
sufficient), use the button text / font for all lines to determine a
common, active font .
(9) With the “OK” button you confirm again all settings made
and are returned to the “Titling” menu .
(10) With “Cancel” you exit the Text-entry menu without ac-
cepting any settings made for the “Titling” menu .
In the “Titling” menu you can then insert the title effect and
calculate it, or set the range beforehand, as is done with the
“Image processing” effects screen .
Title effects in detail
Title effects can be selected in the effect list . This list contains
several effect options . For many of them additional attributes
can be modified, as will be shown in the following:
1. Moving pages: The direction in which the title is scrolled
(over one or more pages) into (“into”) or out of (“out of”) the
page is specified here . Any one of eight directions can be giv-
en . In addition, the “Movement” can be set up to 12 seconds .
2. Fading V-Scroll: The text scrolls from the bottom to the top
through the picture . The scroll speed depends on the scene
length and the text length (the text scrolls fast enough so
that it moves entirely over the screen within the duration of
the scene) . The title enters the screen in a transparent state,
becomes clear (solid) in the center of the screen, and again
more and more transparent as it scrolls out of view . You can
set the height “Fading height” of this fade-in and fade-out from
10-200 pixels .
3. In/out fading pages: All pages are faded in and out in se-
quence . The “Fade” indicates when the title should be faded
in (up to 12 seconds) and the “Pause” indicates the duration
between two pages
4. Horizontal scroller: The text moves across the screen from
right to left at the bottom of the screen . In the Text-entry menu
you can enter as many letters as you wish for the text . There is
a slider below the video you can use to move the text further
5. Place holder: This is not a real, proper effect . Instead, it is
a place holder for projects that have been copied . The effect
settings field at the right contains a warning that this is not a
proper effect . For more information, please refer to the de-
scriptions of the transition effects
6. V-Scroll: The text scrolls from the bottom to the top through
the picture . The scroll speed depends on the scene length and
the text length . The text scrolls at a speed so that it scrolls en-
tirely over the screen within the duration of the scene . Several
pages can be inserted
7. Pages: All document pages are displayed in sequence .
Display is done without fading and pauses . The display time is
such so that the entire scene is affected
