Re: [videoblogging] Credits Maker
Good ideas frank! I may try some out and see what happens. but the credits might be kinda long. - IanOn 21/12/05, Frank Carver <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Wednesday, December 21, 2005, 9:36:07 PM, Ian Mills wrote: > I was wondering if anyone knew of any programs that you use to make > credits (as in the long scrolling text you see at the end of movies) > and which are free. dont say movie maker or fcp. since i have movie > maker but i dont like how the credits are laid out on those and i dont > have final cut pro...as I dont have a mac (yet..) or have access to > one. It depends a bit on how long your credits are. Either way, don't forget the low-tech solutions: 1. Write or print out your credits onto a long piece of paper (or a wall, whiteboard or other large surface. Then film the piece while moving either the camera or the surface. 2. Make a tall, thin image in a paint program containing all your text and pan down it using your video editing software. Some editing software can also pan across vector files such as WMF, Illustrator, or Flash. 3. Make your credits in your favourite text layout program, then do a "screencast" (ie. record what appears on the screen or in a window) as you manually scroll down the document - the free "camstudio" software is good for this. -- Frank Carver http://www.makevideo.org.uk SPONSORED LINKS Individual Fireant Typepad Use YAHOO!

Re: [videoblogging] Credits Maker
It can be expensive, but I have found that Adobe(macromedia) "After FX" is one of the most powerful programs for creating title sequences, short animations and basically all kinds of vector and bit- map manipulations to occur over time. Its like Photoshop in 4D. You can create your own transitions and effects and there are a lot of 3rd party expansion plugins, etc. too.

[videoblogging] Credits Maker
Hello All! I was wondering if anyone knew of any programs that you use to make credits (as in the long scrolling text you see at the end of movies) and which are free. dont say movie maker or fcp. since i have movie maker but i dont like how the credits are laid out on those and i dont have final cut pro...as I dont have a mac (yet..) or have access to one. So if you could help me out and point me in the right direction that'd be great. - Ian -- www.the05project.com Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ~--> Most low income homes are not online.
