Motion Effects

Creating motion effects will effortlessly add dynamism to your production. By simply opening the animation editor TitleMotion places a keyframe of each element of the title on-screen. Then you can begin flying text and graphics across the screen. In addition to following individual flight paths, each object in a TitleMotion animation can have independent acceleration and deceleration, X, Y, Z movements, transparency and filter effects, all of which are variable over time. Objects can also rotate, spin, skew, and twist.

Once an animation is defined, you can save the animation to your Non-Linear editor. This file can then be rendered with full alpha channel within your NLE over your video. Any animation can also be saved as a template. The template utility lets you set up pre-canned motion effects which can then be applied in one step to animate other graphics and text. TitleMotion also includes many preset templates, which can be used to make instant animations. TitleMotion animation templates can be easily imported or exported and sent via e-mail to facilitate trading templates with fellow editors around the world.

Because animations created in TitleMotion are fully anti-aliased and are field-based rather than frame-based, motion effects are extremely smooth and of the highest possible quality.

Broadcast Quality Character Generator

Inscriber is famous for the quality of its output, and TitleMotion is no exception. TitleMotion supports resolutions of up to 800x600 in PAL or NTSC. All text and graphics are anti-aliased to an effective resolution of less than 16nS, and specialized functions such as user-definable rise-time filtering, gamma correction, and sub-pixel scrolling text ensure that output quality is the best available on any platform.

TitleMotion has many powerful typesetting tools such as direct support for TrueType fonts, a font browser, and the ability to fine-tune your text appearance through kerning, leading, slanting, rotating, and dynamic sizing. The product also gives you control over the appearance of text using 16.8 million colors, 256 levels of transparency, angled ramp shading, and soft-edge shadows and glows.

To finish the appearance of text, colors and texture maps can be applied to text foreground, edges, and shadows. Text can also be beveled for a sculpted 3-D appearance, and any word or line can be rotated or set on a customizable spline or circle path.

Tools for Improved Productivity

TitleMotion comes with user-definable color palettes, a customizable video-safe title area marker, and a time-saving Style Library which lets operators browse, use or edit one of the many pre-designed text styles. The new Style Library is a collection of 200 pre-designed text styles. Just like title templates, these can be picked using a preview window, and are an enormous time saver for editors who don't have time to create advanced text styles from scratch. Pre-designed styles are also fully customizable, and new styles can be added to the library at the click of a button. In addition, titles pages or text styles created in the TitleMotion can be saved and added to the existing templates and be used to make instant layouts in future sessions.

TitleMotion includes many more features such as

  • an integrated spell-checker
  • text file import for those long credit rolls
  • multi-lingual support for virtually any language, including Arabic, Hebrew, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean when used with the appropriate version of NT.

200 Editable Titling Templates

Even though TitleMotion gives users all the tools they need to create broadcast quality titles, it also ships with many broadcast quality title templates. Time is money in the NLE industry, and the honest truth is that editors do not want to spend a lot of time creating impressive titles for their videos. TitleMotion users can quickly and easily modify existing templates rather than creating a title from scratch. A preview window allows the user to see a template for easier, faster selection.

Logo Compose

TitleMotion also has a drawing toolbar for creating boxes, circles, ovals, and spline-based objects with full control over extrusion, colors, blends, shadows, and textures. Because TitleMotion supports multiple layers, you can use the text and drawing tools in unison, and you can also import backgrounds saved in many file formats such as TGA, BMP, PSD and JPEG files. And TitleMotions logo handling capabilities are second to none. Logos can be imported as text objects, which means that logos can be sized, shadowed, tinted, rotated, and manipulated just like text.
