Title Software

Need suggestions for third party titling software to add animated
titles to a TV commercial. Something easy to use, with templates, and not too
expensive. (Not After Effects)

Walter,
Looks like it is only $50 and integrates great with FCPX.

Problem is, I don’t have a lot of time for this project. I’m looking at
tutorials on YouTube and some stuff, at least, looks complicated.
I just need titles to fly in and fly out with some cool effects.

Are there quick and easy to use templates for titles? Do you then export
a .mov and then import it into FCPX with a transparent background
and you’re done?

Thanks,
Dave

Motion is actually pretty easy to get started with. But you can have a look at FX factory for various plugins. Also my favourite, lenofx.com. There are a lot of plugins available to do this kind of stuff.

i got mTitle mini pack from MotionVFX.com

ever use this?

frustrating – does not seem like you can customize the
graphic elements or animation – even the size of them – you only
have control over the fonts and font size

unless i am missing something…

Specifically I need to add bullet points on screen, with
animation. Is there a different term for this type of plugin?
The “titles” plugins are really for titles and hard to adapt.

Would any of these help you out?

Or you can indeed use Motion to create your own customized bullet points:

[David Mayer] “Specifically I need to add bullet points on screen, with animation. Is there a different term for this type of plugin?”

Take a look at what Ripple Training has to offer with their Plug-ins. Specifically Bullets (which might be just what you are looking for) and Titlemations which are more subtle for flying/wiping in text.
