  • Quickest animated titles?

    Posted by Randallbennett07 on August 18, 2007 at 12:31 pm

    Hey,

    I’m trying to figure out the fastest / best ways to implement animated titles. I’m thinking about doing a Motion template, since then I’ll only have to render on export. The three options are:

    Motion template
    After Effects Matte/Fill
    After Effects transparency supporting movie (animation)

    Anyone have any useful insights on any of these methods, or any methods anyone else would recommend?

    Thanks!
    RB

    Randall,

    Define “animated.” What are you trying to do? The fastest “animation” would be using FCP’s text tool or Title 3D and the motion tab, or Title 3D’s controls tab, with which you can quickly move titles on screen, around screen and off screen. FCP’s transitions and third party plugins greatly accelerate moving them on and off.

    So that would be the fastest.

    Next I would say Motion or LIveType would be almost as fast, or, just animating text from Photoshop layers.

    Then I’d start talking about AE, you mention mattes, again, what do you want to do?
