I'm still learning tips and tricks with my Video Toaster. I was hoping one of you guys out there could help me with a "project" involving titles with a cable show I'm doing for some friends. Basically they wanted the titles to slowly appear with the beats of the music. I won't use the actual show's title, so I'll use my name as in example. I'm hoping someone can tell me how to do the following with CG and the Toaster: Step 1: Black Screen Step 2: First beat comes up with music and title "Chris" appears. Step 3: Next beat and the title "Shepard" appears below it. Step 4: Final beat and the titles "Productions Presents" appears below both "Chris" and "Shepard" titles. When the show's title page is done it will look like this after step 4: CHRIS SHEPARD Productions Presents Each line appears with certain "key beats" of the intro music. Is there a technique that will allow me to do that on my Toaster equipped A2000? Getting the first line to fade or appear in Step 1 is easy. It's just keeping it on the screen and making the second and final titles appear sequentially with the following music beats without them fading off screen. I hope this explains the ideal "project" that our producer would like to have done for the show. He's willing to settle for a simple "title page", since our budget is low. However, if I can pull this off with the Toaster, he'd be a very impressed man. Can you help if this is possible? Waiting for the MacroSystem's 060 accelerator to be released.
