VIDEONICS TITLEMAKER 2000
Displaying the Page
The third sub-menu (C, previous page), which appears only in the Effects
In menu, determines how the title is displayed after the In-Effect is per-
formed. You can display the page for a fixed amount of time, cause it to
remain until it is manually continued, or use a scroll or crawl.
To use this sub-menu, highlight it using MARK START, as usual. Use the
RIGHT and LEFT arrows to highlight the appropriate symbols and change
their settings, as described in the following sections.
Setting Duration
To set a fixed duration, highlight the numbers next to the clock symbol (1).
The numbers show the duration of the page — how long it will be displayed
— in minutes, seconds, and tenths of seconds. They can be set from 0:00.0,
which will display it just for an instant, to just under ten minutes.
Highlight the clock symbol and its numbers and type a value, using the
number keys. To set a duration to 10.5 seconds, for instance, you would type
1, then 0, then 5. If you enter 60 or more as the number of seconds, the
TitleMaker will convert it to minutes — 72 seconds would be changed to
1:12.0, for example.
The numbers scroll in from the right. If you make a mistake and want to re-
enter the number, press 0 several times first, to clear the number.
Hint: To display a page longer than 9:59.9, duplicate the page using COPY
("Moving and Copying Pages," in Chapter 7). End the first page and start the second
page with cuts. The cuts will be invisible, since both pages are identical, and the
result will be that the two pages will appear as one. You can repeat this to display a
page as long as you like.
Infinite Duration
You can set a page to "infinite" duration — when it's played, the page will
remain on the screen until the PLAY key is pressed again. To do this, high-
light the infinity symbol (2).
Scroll and Crawl
The last two symbols in the bottom sub-menu indicate that the titles on the
page should move across the screen in a full-page scroll (3) or a crawl (4).
• In a scroll, the page of titles will move up, starting at the bottom of the
screen, and continue to scroll off the top, the way credits are generally
