Title Effect Pack 2
1. Introduction
The title effects can be classified in the following categories: Letter, Line, Path, Perspective and Pip.
The Appearance settings are the same for almost all of the effects in which they are
used. We shall therefore only explain them here once.
The other settings are described individually for each effect.
2. Appearance – General
You basically have the option of displaying the letters or text on a kind of glass pane.
This pane of glass creates light reflections depending on its properties and the type of
illumination used.
2.1 The Appearance options
Light
For defining the light source.
Off: The light source is switched off and the glass pane is therefore invisible. All the other
options are deactivated.
Normal: The entire surface of the glass pane is illuminated.
Spotlight: A particular point on the surface is illuminated.
Light Direction
This refers to the direction in which the light source shines.
If the Light setting is set to Normal, the glass pane will be illuminated with varying intensity depending on the direction.
If the Light setting is set to Spotlight, the point on the glass pane that is closest to the
light beam will be illuminated.
Light Color
You can use this to set the color of the light. The glass pane reflects the light in the color
that you selected.
Reflection
This is where you can define the light intensity and the size of the reflection on the glass
pane.

Pseudo glass
The thickness of the glass case is the factor that determines the type of reflection on the
surface and the edges.

3. The title effects
3.1 Letter Fly
The letters fly into the scene individually. They remain stationary at a configurable angle
and at the end of the scene fly out again towards the front.
Motion path
This menu is used to configure the motion path of the effect. You can use "Rotation" to
define the view that the letters should have after they fade in.
Each letter can be rotated around imaginary axes in space.
Rotation X: Position of the letter rotated on the X-axis
Rotation Y: Position of the letter rotated on the Y-axis
Rotation Z: Position of the letter rotated on the Z-axis
Preview: This is where you can view a preview of the results of the changes you made to
the settings.
Appearance
See page 1.
Fade
Fade in/out time of the letters.
Archives
The settings can be archived for later use.
3.2 Letter Rotate
The text is zoomed into the scene. The letters then rotate around a configurable axis until
the text zooms out of the scene again towards the back.

Motion path
This menu is used to configure the motion path of the effect. You can use "Start Rotation"
to define the view that the letters should have after they fade in. "Movement Rot." allows
you to set the angle that you want the letters to rotate by.
The configured angle is the angle by which the letter rotates within one frame. The larger
the configured angle, the faster the letters will rotate. Each letter can be rotated around
imaginary axes in space.
Start Rotation X: Start of the letter rotated on the X-axis
Start Rotation Y: Start of the letter rotated on the Y-axis
Start Rotation Z: Start of the letter rotated on the Z-axis
Movement Rot. X: Rotation of the letters on the X-axis
Movement Rot. Y: Rotation of the letters on the Y-axis
Movement Rot. Z: Rotation of the letters on the Z-axis

the settings.
Appearance
See page 1.
Fade
Fade in/out time of the letters.
Archives
The settings can be archived for later use.
3.3 Letter Swing
The text letters are faded into the scene and oscillate rhythmically up and down at a configurable frequency and intensity. The letters fade out at the end of the scene.
Motion path
This menu is used to configure the motion path of the effect.
You can use "Rotation" to define the view that the letters should have after they fade in.
The other settings allow you to configure the way in which the letters oscillate.
Each letter can be rotated around imaginary axes in space.
Rotation X: Position of the letter rotated on the X-axis
Rotation Y: Position of the letter rotated on the Y-axis
Rotation Z: Position of the letter rotated on the Z-axis
Bounce power: Intensity of the oscillation.
Speed: Sets the speed at which the oscillation takes place.
Frequency: Defines the distance between two extreme points of oscillation. (*)

3.4 Letter Zooming
The letters fade into the scene from the back. Afterwards, the letters increase and decrease in size rhythmically.
Motion path
This menu is used to configure the motion path of the effect.
You can use "Rotation" to define the view that the letters should have after they fade in.
The other options allow you to define the appearance of the space in which letters are
zoomed.
Each letter can be rotated around imaginary axes in space.
Rotation X: Position of the letter rotated on the X-axis
Rotation Y: Position of the letter rotated on the Y-axis
Rotation Z: Position of the letter rotated on the Z-axis
Zoom power: Intensity with which the letters are zoomed.
Speed: Sets the speed at which the oscillation takes place.
Frequency: Defines the distance between two zoomed letter extremes. (**)
