Motion Effects
Creating motion effects will effortlessly add dynamism to your production. By simply opening the animation editor TitleMotion places a keyframe of each element of the title on-screen. Then you can begin flying text and graphics across the screen. In addition to following individual flight paths, each object in a TitleMotion animation can have independent acceleration and deceleration, X, Y, Z movements, transparency and filter effects, all of which are variable over time. Objects can also rotate, spin, skew, and twist..

Once an animation is defined, you can save the animation to your Non-Linear editor. This file can then be rendered with full alpha channel within your NLE over your video. Any animation can also be saved as a template. The template utility lets you set up pre-canned motion effects which can then be applied in one step to animate other graphics and text. TitleMotion also includes many preset templates, which can be used to make instant animations. TitleMotion animation templates can be easily imported or exported and sent via email to facilitate trading templates with fellow editors around the world.

Because animations created in TitleMotion are fully anti-aliased and are field-based rather than frame-based, motion effects are extremely smooth and of the highest possible quality.

Broadcast Quality Character Generator
Inscriber is famous for the quality of its output, and TitleMotion is no exception. TitleMotion supports resolutions of up to 800x600 in PAL or NTSC. All text and graphics are anti-aliased to an effective resolution of less than 16nS, and specialised functions such as user-definable rise-time filtering, gamma correction, and sub-pixel scrolling text ensure that output quality is the best available on any platform.

TitleMotion has many powerful typesetting tools such as direct support for TrueType fonts, a font browser, and the ability to fine-tune your text appearance through kerning, leading, slanting, rotating, and dynamic sizing. The product also gives you control over the appearance of text using 16.8 million colours, 256 levels of transparency, angled ramp shading, and soft-edge shadows and glows.

To finish the appearance of text, colours and texture maps can be applied to text foreground, edges, and shadows. Text can also be bevelled for a sculpted 3-D appearance, and any word or line can be rotated or set on a customisable spline or circle path.

Tools for Improved Productivity
TitleMotion comes with user-definable colour palettes, a customisable video-safe title area marker, and a time-saving Style Library which lets operators browse, use or edit one of the many pre-designed text styles. The new Style Library is a collection of 200 pre-designed text styles. Just like title templates, these can be picked using a preview window, and are an enormous time saver for editors who don't have time to create advanced text styles from scratch. Pre-designed styles are also fully customisable, and new styles can be added to the library at the click of a button. In addition, titles pages or text styles created in the TitleMotion can be saved and added to the existing templates and be used to make instant layouts in future sessions.

TitleMotion includes many more features such as:

• an integrated spell-checker
  
• text file import for those long credit rolls
  
• multilingual support for virtually any language, including Arabic, Hebrew, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean when used with the appropriate version of NT.
