#Help w. titling proj.
2 messages in this thread
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.

Chris,
You don't say if your trying to have the titles key in over video or not. If
you do, you can key in, but not fade any except the first.
If you can do this with a framesore (non-video background), just mkae up the
entire title page in CG then save each page as you delete the bottom line.
Then, bring them up in reverse order.
The trick will be to bring them up fast enough to display on the beats.
Regards,
Gary
