  • Is S Vegas 9 Titler really this bad? Plug-ins?

    Posted by Marty Watt on May 19, 2011 at 12:37 pm

    Gee, the titler in Sony Vegas 9 just seems like the worst text generator I’ve seen. Adobe Premiere is better, Video Pad is better, even Windows Movie. Any ideas? Is there a free plug-in I could get somewhere? Is this a well known weakness in Sony Vegas? Very bad color selection to start with.

    HELP !!!

    “Is this a well known weakness in Sony Vegas”

    Yes and it has been for a very long time.
    Sony’s response to years of complaints was to give us Pro Titler which, IMO, is a joke and shouldn’t be allowed to use the “Pro” name.

    “Is there a free plug-in I could get somewhere?”

    Cayman Graphics was offering an excellent titler package a few years ago but the price (around $400) scared off a lot of folks.
    I do a lot of my titles in Photoshop and bring them into Vegas.
    If you can’t afford Photoshop, there’s always Gimp (open source and free).

    “Any ideas?”

    Do like the rest of us and keep begging/bugging Sony for a real broadcast grade titler.
    It’s the only way it’ll ever happen.

    Yes, I’ve been trying out a lot of different editors: Video Pad, Adobe… now: Vegas… which looked good because it was nice and smaller for my laptop: but The Titler just stunned me: worse than anything I’ve seen. Totally wasn’t expecting that to be the weakness. Very sad. Bizarre actually.

    You might want to give Bluff Titler a try. Some of the titling effects will blow you away and it’s cheap for what it delivers, Pete.

    Just to second the blufftitler comment – it produces really high quality output. Docs are a little scarce, but the forum is very active and you get good support. Don’t let the price put you off – for €49 you really do get very high quality output and very controllable properties….
