VIDEONICS TITLEMAKER 2000
Making Titles Come and Go
In a production, you may want superimposed titles to appear for a while, then disappear.
To do this, place blank pages with video backgrounds between pages of titles.
Create a page of superimposed titles. At the end of the page, press NEW PAGE but don't
type anything on this page. Set its background to VIDEO, if it isn't already. Press NEW PAGE
again and type the next titles. When you play these pages, the first titles appear, then
transition to the blank page. Since this page is empty and the background is plain video,
the result is that the titles simply go away. The next page can then introduce more titles.
Positioning Text on the Line

You can change the position of the text on any line. A line can be centered or positioned
against the left or right edge of the screen.
Position the cursor on the line. Press and release the POSITION key, then press the LEFT or
RIGHT arrow. The line position changes immediately to show the new choice. (The page
symbol is not affected.)
Positioning Text on the Page

The page symbol shows how text is positioned on the page. It can be positioned at the top,
center, or bottom of the page. To change the position, press and release the POSITION key,
then press the UP or DOWN arrow on the arrow keypad.
Transitions, Durations, Scroll, and Crawl
You can determine how long each page will be displayed (its duration) and what transition
effects (fade, wipe, etc.) will be used to introduce, and remove the page. You can also make
titles scroll or crawl on or off the page.
Position the cursor anywhere on a page and use the EFFECTS IN menu key to change the
page's duration, scrolling, speed, and the effect that will introduce it. Use the Effects Out
menu to choose the effect that will be used to remove the page.
Duration is set using the bottom sub-menu of the Effects In menu. Highlight the digits after
the clock symbol and type in the desired time. You can set infinite duration (displaying the
page until you press PLAY again) by highlighting the infinity symbol.
