VIDEONICS TITLEMAKER 2000
Chapter 17 •
Effects,
Scrolls, and
Crawls
Effects provide interesting
transitions between pages of
titles. They include simple
cuts, fades, wipes, slides, scroll, and crawl.
TitleMaker 2000 includes a variety of transition effects. You can use one
effect to introduce a page of titles and a separate effect to end the page. Each
can be set to any of eight speeds. You can set a duration for each page to
determine how long it will be displayed before the out-effect removes it. You
can set an infinite duration to display a page until you press PLAY again. You
can also use scrolls and crawls, at any of eight speeds and in four directions,
to make your titles march across the screen.
Page Symbols
The Editing Screen includes a set of page symbols at the start of each page.
In addition to the project, page number, and vertical positioning of the text on
the page, they tell you which effects have been set to start and end the page,
whether the page will scroll or crawl, and how long the page will be dis-
played between transitions.
In the examples shown, page bar A shows a page that starts with a cut ( ),
remain on the screen for 6.5 seconds ( ), and ends with a fade ( ).
The next page (B) opens with an imploding wipe ( ) (all four edges sweep
in to the center), remains on the screen until PLAY is pressed ( ), and ends
with an exploding wipe ( ) (the edges sweep from the center out to the
edges).
Effects Menus
The Effects In menu contains three sub-menus. It is used to determine
which effect will be used to start the page.
The Effects Out menu is used to choose the effect used to remove the page.
It is identical (and works the same way) except that the bottom sub-menu is
omitted.
