Chapter 19 • Playing Titles
You can play titles many ways. Like a VCR, TitleMaker 2000 allows
you to play titles in forward or reverse, at various speeds.
After you have created and edited your titles using the Editing Screen, you
are ready to play them. Playing titles displays the titles you have typed on the
screen with the backgrounds, effects, positioning, and other details you have
selected. The resulting titles can be recorded or displayed.
TitleMaker 2000 provides many ways to play titles. You can play auto-
matically or manually, in forward or reverse. You can play some pages or all
of them. You can even play a series of pages repeatedly, to create an eye-
catching "video billboard." This chapter describes the different methods.
They are summarized in the list at the end of the chapter.
Projects
Titles are always played from the current project. To play titles from a
different project, you must switch projects by pressing COMMAND + SHIFT
+ UP or COMMAND + SHIFT + DOWN until you see the project you want to
play.
Important Concepts
• If any pages are marked, the PLAY key plays those pages over and over
again.
If no pages are marked, play starts with the page that contains the cursor and
continues until the last page in the project is played.
• Pages are played using the durations, effects, and other choices you set up
when you created the titles. Each page will appear for the amount of time
you specified using the duration option in the Effects In menu (Chapter
17). The effects you specified will be used to transition between pages.
If you chose infinite duration for a page, display stops with that page until
PLAY is pressed again.
• PLAY works the same way whether you start from the Editing Screen or
from the Page Index screen.
Playing All Pages
The easiest way to play all pages in a project is to press COMMAND and
PLAY at the same time. COMMAND + PLAY ignores marks and the cursor
location. It plays all pages, starting with page one, using the effects and
durations you have defined.
