How to do Random Text Titles in Vegas ?

ryan_khoo · #1 (**permalink**) 10-08-2008, 03:25 PM

I am trying to do this RANDOM LETTERS title effect:

GeeThree: Products: Slick

It is in Volume 5 (I mean click Slick 5),

then on the left panel, click Slick 5 Title Gallery.

Then on the 3rd column from the left, the Random Letters is the 4th Title from the top.

I think this website also use the Random Letters Title effects something like n the movie Matrix:
LTA

Any idea how I can do it in Vegas ?

Thanks

Thanks.

Does Bluff Titler has some preset animation where all I have to do is to change the text ?

It's a damn site better than that, there's a large (and increasing) on-line gallery of effects created by users that you can download and modify to your needs (yes - that includes changing the text)

Hi Tim,

Would you be kind enough to post the link to the website where I can download the effects created by users ?

Thanks a million.

Cheers

You'll need to register to download and you'll need Bluff Titler in order to run these. I'm not sure if you need to buy BT in order to register.

I think need to purchase the BT first before can be member because they ask for License Key number.

Anyway, I manage to get this from the manual regarding the compatibility of Bluff Titler with Vegas
BluffTitler DX9: 3D Effects for Video Titling and Digital Signage - Import Animations into other Software

which I cut & paste below:

.................................................. ....................................
Sony Vegas
Transparency

Vegas does not automatically recognize the alpha (transparency) channel in the AVI files. When you right-click on the clip in Vegas and choose Properties you can set the Alpha Channel. In Vegas, there are 3 choices for how to handle alpha channels:

* Straight (unmatted): this option does not seem to work.
* Premultipled: this option works somewhat, but there are blue edges and things are not looking quite right.
* Premultipled (dirty): this option works the best, maybe perfect.

Peculiarities

Vegas 5 refuses to import files from a path containing the word "TITLE" - all uppercase. If ANY or ALL of the letters are lowercase, there is no problem reading or finding the file. Change the directory name, or move the file in question and you should not have any problems opening it.

The Sony Vegas Movie Studio (little brother to Vegas) works the exact same way as the main Vegas application. The lite version can also handle transparent AVIs. You need to click on the video event properties, followed by the media properties to select the premultiplied dirty option.
.................................................. ..................

That was refering to Vegas 5. Now that we are in Vegas 8, can Tim or anyone who has tried BT confirm that the problem been resolve ?

Thanks

I can confirm it worked fine in version 7. Not tried it with 8 but I'm certain it will. Sorry you can't download the files, but they'd be little use without the program.
