  • Free Premade Templates / Actions for fly-in text?

    Posted by Dale Parsons on January 30, 2015 at 2:57 am

    Is there any free program or free alternative method to get pre-made “fly-in” text. I’m now just using simple gradient with words that fly-in from the left, but looking for something more professional…To give the videos a professional news type feel when text flies in at the bottom…

    [Dale Parsons] “Is there any free program or free alternative method to get pre-made “fly-in” text.”

    How about using the build-in 3D Fly In/Out Transition?

    Dale, are you referring to the strip of NEWS TEXT or RIBBON, Flying In? If so that is called a LOWER THIRDS or TICKER-TAPE.

    John is correct about the 3D TEXT option. Added to which, I believe you are referring to this LOWER THIRD option – yes? – If this is the case there are plenty of tools to use in Vegas, which you have already purchased, in which to do more than an adequate job.

    Can you give an example? I need more of a description from you as to what you want to do.

    Cheers

    I don’t know anything free, but Vegasaur has some lower third templates at a reasonable price. They are Vegas project files. $20 for a package that has some news type templates. Beyond what the package has, they can be altered/customized and they will show you how to do some sophisticated things using the existing tools available in Vegas.

    If you’re looking for Lower Thirds, we have 4 packages called VASST Title Strips that are only $9.95 USD each for a set of about 12.

    Well, as I said, I’m looking for templates. Yes, lower-third (bottom).

    I’ve been using a slide-in gradient which is pretty cool, but I’m looking for something a bit more professional. Not necessarily flashy, but newscast style flyins with perhaps a bit more flare, but not too much.

    See 3 minutes into this video. Not exactly what I’m looking for (a bit too flashy.). I’m not 100% sure what I’m looking for yet. I know when I’ll see it though. Thought there might be some site or pack with a bunch to choose from.

    Also, thank you for the suggestions regarding the packs. I will take a look at those.
