V8 Pro Titler: Where's the Directions??

ken c wrote on 1/30/2008, 5:05 PM

Hi - I'm finally getting into V8 and trying to use the ProType titler, but there's no directions, from what I can find (the manual says p.258 and says zip about usage).

Any tutorials/tips on how to keyframe effects with the titler etc?
Also many of my fonts don't appear in the drop down choices menu in the titler..
And it looks like there's only 3 effects - gblur, glow/drop shadow, is that right? wtf..

Any suggestions or tips? Much appreciated.. . My gut says I should just use AE for titles instead, but I'm still learning that, too...something like trapcode shine or KLF looks like it could work better, or my proanimator... I'm trying to get an effect like "the Secret" words, with moving blur/shine..

thx,

ken

I'd be interested to hear a users review of the new DVD.

I've used the Pro Titler it a couple of times, but I still find it very difficult to do fairly simple things - there is a very different metaphor involved, and the reason I bought the VASST V8 Overview DVD was because it included a look at the ProTitler. It was a fairly brief look though, so if the new DVD does a much more thorough job of explaining the tool I guess I'll get it.
