4.4 Tutorial 4: Titling 1
SMART EDIT provides high-performance titling with which you
can insert opening titles, end credits, subtitles, etc. into your
video project.
Again, you need an edited video to do this. This can be a complete video film project, but for this exercise it is sufficient to
have 3 or 4 scenes with a length of about 10 seconds each.
Click on "Titling". This screen is very similar to the "Image Processing" screen, because titling is a similar task. A segment of
the storyboard will be modified, only in this case the modification is an inserted text and not an effect.
As you have done when practicing image processing effects,
select a scene in the storyboard for your first title. You can
simply take the first scene.
Step 1: Adding an Opening title
You will now insert an opening title to your video project.
This title will display the name of the video on three fixed text
pages. From the Main Menu, Click "Titling”. Once in the Titling
menu, select "Pages" and add this title effect onto the storyboard.
Then click the "Enter/edit text" button in the lower-right corner
of the screen.
Now you are in the actual titling menu. The first frame of the
scene appears in the background of an operation panel. This
screen serves as orientation for text placement, font style,
color selection, and type size. Here you can immediately check
how your title looks over the selected scene, because the title
is automatically updated after every adjustment.
You will see some pre-loaded text already displayed on the Titling display. Delete this text by placing the vertical bar (called
cursor) after the last word and pressing the delete key of your
external keyboard as many times as necessary until all of the
text is deleted.
If you aren't working with an external keyoard, click onto
"Text" to call up the on-screen keyboard. Now you can delete
the given text by clicking on the "Delete" key several times.
Alternatively, you can click onto "Boxes" and select "Delete",
so that the panel with the default text is deleted. Another box
will be available for text entry.
If you have deleted the box with the help of the "Delete" button
or with the on-screen keyboard, click onto the "TE" ("Text Editor") button in the lower right corner or onto the right trackball
button, to call up the main menu bar.
First, select a font. Click onto "Text" in the main operation
panel and then select "Font" to bring up a selection window.
The text MacroSystem appears in the previously selected font.
Select the font Floyd for which you can then set the size. Set
the size to 130 and confirm your settings by clicking on "OK".
The cursor over the display screen indicates the current text
position.
Use the keyboard to enter the text "Video title". Remember,
you can use the on-screen keyboard, or the external Powerkey
or USB keyboard.
Now you can go on to other settings using the “Style” button.
A screen appears, in which you can see the video screen in the
top right corner – with an enlarged part of your title. In the top
left corner, you can first decide if the letters appear as “Color” (single color) or as a "Pattern". If you choose “Color”, the
color box opens so that you can choose the color, for example
yellow.
After you have confirmed your color box settings by clicking
"OK", you can decide to add an outline. You can define the
strength of the letters’ outline by moving the slider next to it (0
= no frame, 6 = strongest outline). Set it to 4 for example. Now
you can click onto the “Color/Pattern” button to call up the
imagepool, in which you can click onto the color button in the
lower right area (left to "Ok") to call up the color box. Choose a
color, for example red.
