    REALTIME TEXT

    Posted by Jase on August 17, 2005 at 5:59 am

    Just wondering – is realtime text not supported in the 8 bit BM codec?
    should I be digitising at DV50 for FCP to do the realtime thing?

    Hi Jase,

    Unless you’re manually invoking the Blackmagic 8-bit codec, it will not be used as so you’ll simply be using the Apple codec. Amongst the RT Extreme effects provided with the Apple codec are some text options.

    Use the 3D Text option by Boris instead of the FCP text generator.
    You can individually kern, outline, drop shadow and colour all characters individually and it’s all real time!

    Not aliased either..>!
