Arabic in title tool

[Paul Harrington]

We created all our Arabic script in Photoshop. We found that a lot easier workflow…Harry

Thanks a lot Paul. I know Photoshop is an option but I thought it would be easier to make the changes within Avid without having to jump between two different applications. I know that a friend of mine can type in Arabic, she said she has TitleDeco Pro which has a plug in for Avid that allows it to type right to left.
I’ve downloaded TitleDeco… but still have the same problem

any ideas?

there used to be also a very simple program that I worked with once whcih you copy and paste your text from into Avd title tool and Avid sees it as a picture so it works fine with Hebrew and Arabic, but I cant remember what that program is called!!

If you are using Marquee title tool, after typing a character, right-click in window and in pop-up menu select “direction” and select “right-to-left”
