how to create Tytpe On” effect in Sony Legacy Text or Titles & text?
would anyone know a quick and dirty way to create a “Type On” effect either in Sony Legacy Text or Sony Titles and Text.
Sony Titler Pro is far too convulated and time consuming to bother with and New Blue keeps crashing.
My plan is to finish the current show I am haf way through then bail on a failed Vegas platform (at least for me) and swicth to Adobe. I stuck with Veags from 9 through 12 and it just isn’t stable enough for me. Like Cubase was I’ll return when they start from scratch and scrap all the old code that has been built on and check it out in a few more versions.
In the meantime I have shows that have to go to TV. can anyone help out with a simple type on effect in the meantime
Thanks in advance -

How much “typing” is needed?

Depending on how much typing you need to do, I did the following quick and dirty test:
1) Instert a Media Generators|Text|Solid Background text event on timeline.
2) To have it look as real as possible, I set the alignment of the text to Left, then typed the letter “A”, setting a keyframe (press the Animate button at the bottom of the Sony Text box). Set the keyframe type to Hold (right-click on the keyframe, select Hold from the list).
3) Move 5 frames (you can vary this move amount to speed up or slow down the rate of “typing”) and add a new key frame. Add the letter “n” to the A that was previously typed. Set this keyframe type to Hold.
4) Move 5 frames and add a new key frame. Add the letter “d” to the An that was previously typed. Set this keyframe type to Hold.
5) Move 5 frames and add a new key frame. Add the letter “r” to the And that was previously typed. Set this keyframe type to Hold.
6) Move 5 frames and add a new key frame. Add the letter “e” to the Andr that was previously typed. Set this keyframe type to Hold.
7) Move 5 frames and add a new key frame. Add the letter “w” to the Andre that was previously typed. Set this keyframe type to Hold.Congratulations, you can now type my name on screen! Change and repeat for additional text. If you search online, I’m guessing you can find a typewriter sound to add to the effect.
