Hi…. I've played with TV Text (not very crazy about it)…. it seems like a glorified Deluxe Paint for fonts. Definitely NOT for real-time character generation. However, Pro-Video CG is excellent for this use! We use it extensively. It can produce Rolls, Crawls, animated page transitions, and the font quality rivals a Chyron. I haven't seen Video Titler from Aegis yet (Are you out there, Bill Volk? When will it be out?) If you're doing videotape editing, Pro-Video works well with Genlock also. Hope this helps….. joanne b.

We are just finishing docs on VideoTitler. Looks like late this month at best for a release. The major benifit of VideoTitler is that it can use all sorts of Amiga source materal (IFF, ANIM's, Amiga Fonts, Color Fonts, and PolyFonts) has an Intuition interface with overscan and PAL support (up to 768 x 480 overscan in NTSC). It also saves the titles as structured docs and/or IFF bitmaps. SlideShow program (included) also plays ANIM's and VideoTitler will generate ANIM's as well (spinning titles, warping bitmaps etc…). It's also got a keystroke interface (besides menus) and all effects are modifiable.
