    Looking for plug in to animate text within media composer/symphony, a la zip on aston, preferably without having to use AE nor HAVING TO ADD KEYFRAME FOR EVERYLETTER.

    avidfx seems to offer this function but will it run on mc, and if so can it be purchased seperately?

    thanks in advance

    Marquee has a preset (or Script) that easily allows this – and although it is a plugin normally ships with MCs free these days.
    Although, it might seems a little daunting at first.
    Other option is a German program called Heroglyph from proDAD.
    Exceptionally good Titler, very cheap, user-friendly and realtime – something Marquee is far from. Big Fan.

    I like stagetools for AE.
    I have found if spending the time to mess with marquee, I could easily just do it in AE.
    you can select different cursors, ect. Pretty neat lil plugin.

    Very very true,
    That’s why I use Heroglyph. It’s really an amazing plug-in and costs about $100. Has about a thousand animated templates and you still get to stay in the Avid environment for quick amendments.
    I use it everyday, And no, I don’t work for them.
