Script writing effect
Maybe someone can steer me the right way for this question. I want to create an intro (the company name)for my videos. I want the first letter of each word in normal text, and the rest of the word spelled out as if done with a pen in cursive writing. And I want to do this for each of the 3 words, as the come on the screen. My hand isn’t steady enough to do this with a mouse, cause I already tried it with Heiroglyph. Is there another program that is cheap that can to this?

The cheap/semi fast option is to scan your signature at high rez, then use a Bezier mask to reveal it via keyframes.

What DSE said,… adding to his post with this:
E.g. ebay item number (not mine BTW)
120152665035This is the older serial port version of the Mimio board writing/digitizing suite. Throw in a whiteboard and you can record your handwriting and record. Then you can use Vegas’ size/position tool to zoom your writing to the size you wish. If you need something that will work with Vista later, you can upgrade to Xi down the track.
Otherwise there are some nice scribe fonts available to back-track erase over.
Or my personal favorite, is to use the Bauhaus Mirage and it’s stroke recorder (using a touch tablet or mimio-mouse) and then to add some finesse with particle effects and/or volumetrics to enhance the concept of the pen flowing.
Mimio is a nice touch. Great for getting friends and family to draw something out on special occasions. Very personal, especially to capture something as personal as someone’s handwriting being written to be able to call on it, possibly after they’ve gone on to the next world. Also great for including materials for school projects (in my case for the kids to submit).
I picked up a mimio for ebay prices at a nearby Staples over a year ago. I was going to have my company claim for it, but got hooked and rarely bother with my touch tablet for stroke-style art. Perhaps more because I’m no artist.
