ULEAD VIDEOSTUDIO USER GUIDE
Using video or image clips as titles
In addition to text titles, VideoStudio provides a new feature that adds video or image clips as
titles. This new feature is particularly useful when this video or image file has a transparent
background. So, the object in the video or image file does not just blend smoothly into the
background. More importantly, you can simply design a custom-made video or image title in
dedicated editors like Ulead COOL 3D 3.0 and Ulead PhotoImpact 6.0 first, and then import it
to VideoStudio as a title.
Putting it all together
To create a long list of credits in a production, it is necessary to insert a series of title clips into
the Timeline.
Creating extended credits:
1
Start by creating one clip with multiple
lines of text.
2
Drag a copy of the Title clip from the
Timeline to the Library. This is the
easiest way to maintain consistency on
each title’s attributes.
3
Drag title copies from the Library back to
the Timeline to create new titles.
4
Modify the text in the copied title.
5
Repeat this procedure until you have
credited the whole gang.
Note:
You’ll end up with a number of separate,
sequential title clips on the Timeline. Try adding
a small space between clips for a brief pause.
Anyway you do it, test your titles to ensure that
they are readable in the final version of your
movie. (See page 57 for information about
previewing parts of a movie)
Notes:
•
For a video title with a transparent
background, currently VideoStudio only
accepts the AVI format with a 32-bit RGB
data type created in Ulead COOL 3D 3.0.
•
For an image title with a transparent
background, the accepted format is PNG,
PSD, and TIF. For example, to do it in Ulead
PhotoImpact 6.0, create an irregular shape
selection first. Then, save it as one of the
above mentioned format with the option
“Save Selection” activated.
