What program do you use to make titles?

[kansasskydiver 0]

I'm getting bored with the typical titles and have seen more than a handful of different animation titles and what not on videos. My fav has to be the text in the wind from Continuum 2.

What programs are out there to do these? More important, what programs will they work with? I'm using Premiere Pro at the momment.

What's out there?

The animated titling in C2 was done in 3D Studio Max and Maya--neither of which are easy to learn or operate, IMHO. For more basic titles, if you work on a mac, Livetype has some cool stuff, but can be a really powerful titling enging with a little creativity and a good knowledge of the program. Windows users--I don't know what to tell you other than the 3DSMX/maya options, but they're out there.
hope this helps,

Chris,
Check out Adobe After Effects.

Skydive Radio

[quade 4]

Adobe After Effects 6.5 with Zaxwerks 3D Invigorator plug-in
Motion

Samples here; http://homepage.mac.com/pquade/Reel.html

AE and Motion are best output using a lossless animation codec and then imported. Flawless really.

I've got the program just haven't ventured into it too much. Didn't know if there was an easier way to do it than After Effects.

Check LIVETYPE is a Mac software compatible with FC and in the lower end with Imovie, you can not only create cool titles, applied effects, lower thirds etc.

and if you don't wanna spend that kind of money check SLICK transitions each CD is very affordable here is the link:

Check out www.invidious.net All of their titles were done with after affects. Another good option would be the borris package. Borris Graffiti is the title program but Borris Red 3GL is also a kick ass effects program.

LiveType is cool and not difficult. But i lost some info converting it to .avi for Premier (i'm still using 6.0 that is not supporting QuickTime format). I guess it's convertation problem, not LiveType's fault.

Between two evils always pick theone never tried

3d studio max and photoshop for me!

3DSMX & Maya are essential the same, well they are direct competitors, if im not mistaken ...

3DSMX isn't to tricky to use if all you want to do is create text, and texture it etc... it will take some time and effort though, and if you know anyone who uses it a quick lesson will really help..... just dont expect to run it for the first time and start banging out awesome 3d effects.....
