In
this tutorial I'll explain a technique for creating a large batch
of titles easily with Newtek's
Aura. What makes this process so painless is George, Aura's
built-in scripting language. As part of this tutorial I'm including
the script I wrote to help me when I needed to produce dozens
of single-line titles that needed to be superimposed into one
of the video projects I was editing. Since then I've found it
totally indespensible for my other projects. Although the script
is limited to single lines of text, it is easy to layer and position
multiple titles (which are simply Targa images) if needed. With
very little effort you too can make titling a breeze.
The first step is to get yourself a copy of the script, which can be downloaded right here: xot_titles.zip (8.5 KB)
Make a backup copy of the script and keep it in a safe place. You'll be modifying this script in order to produce your custom titles so it is important to have a backup just in case something goes wrong because of your changes. Don't be discouraged if you are not a programmer, the modifications are very simple. After going through this tutorial you can always refer to the script itself for detailed instructions that explain how to modify and use it.
