  Posted by Watbanproductions on August 30, 2007 at 2:42 pm

  hi guys / girls,

  i have a problem i want to create a title that appears to be as if someone is handwriting it on the screen, i want to use an image that i have scanned and edited it photo shop which has the handwriting on image of writing. to give you an idea of what i want here is a link to a youtube video that has a simular effect video link

  i have not have much experiance using effects in vegas but am reasonably comfortable with the program so if possible, could someone explain it in dummy terms.

  many thanks

  James

  thanks for the quick reply mike,
  but im not sure the link you sent me is what im looking for i want the image to be masked so that it looks like its being written on the screen it isnt a font that i can re-type in that text editing program. the type of effect i am looking for is 47 secs into that clip on youtube i posted a link to

  thanks for the help

  thanks

  Put down the text, mask over it and then move the mask. You could even put a color over the text (same as background) and move that.

  I can say that I didn’t answer this question because the exact same question has been asked several times over the past month or two.

  Just do a search and you’ll see all the previous responses to this question.
