What is Title Studio?
Title Studio is a new video titler for Bogart SE. You can use it
to add a text to a scene and have it rendered with a title effect.
Once it has been installed, this software will replace the current
titler. Thanks to Title Studio, you have at your disposal not only
the current possibilities but also a great many extra useful and
helpful functions that have been developed in large part to
accommodate the wishes of the users.
You can individually format any letters of a line. A large selec-
tion of predefined styles has already been included. In additi-
on, you can also continue to format the letters using the usual
functions. This way, you can give your text a surface structure
and edged borders. There is a large library of structures for
designing texts and backgrounds for tables.
Individually created styles can be stored and are easy to find
again thanks to a sample image in the styles archive.
Title Studio shows you in its menu what you will see after the
title has been calculated. This is called WYSIWYG, except
when entering a moving text. All common text formatting is
also supported.

Installation
Title Studio is available as an additional product for Bogart.
This titler cannot be installed under Smart Edit under this time.
The software is installed from a product CD/DVD. You should
insert it in the unit of your Bogart System and then open the
„Settings - Product Installation menu“. When the contents of
the CD/DVD have been imported and the product list has been
updated, you should select Title Studio and activate it. Once
the installation is finished, you will be asked to enter the activa-
tion code. You have received it when you acquired the product.
If you did not yet buy the product, you can install it as a test
version. When you are asked to enter the product number, you
should click on the Demo button, without entering a product
number. Your product will then be installed as a demo version.
When using a demo installation, you can make unlimited use of
the functionality of the product. When the titles are calculated,
a note will be included that this is a demo version.
After the installation, you will be able to find the Title Studio
in the product list. The mode in which the product has been
installed is indicated after the name of the product.
After installing and activating in „Product installation“, Title
Studio will not be included in the title effect list as an operator.
Title Studio will be launched as soon as you change to the
effect in the text input. To do this, go to the „Titling“ menu in
Bogart. There, you should first select the scene in the story-
board, on which you want your text to appear. You should then
select the desired title effect in the effect list. Next, click on the
„Enter/edit text (Title-Studio)“ button to start the text input.
Note: Depending on the version of your Bogart software, this
button can also have a reference to the titling system
If you have activated Title Studio or if you have installed
it as a Demo version, the program will be launched now.
2 .1 Switching between Title Studio and
Standard Titler
Installing Title Studio does not remove your usual Standard
Titler. It remains available on your system.
