| How It Works |
2 / 4  |
Before
we get too deep, let's just quickly go over how the script works.
Place a copy of the script in your George directory and start
up Aura. Bring up the George panel and right-click on one of the
slots. A panel will come up that allows you to load a new script
in this slot. Click "Select" and navigate to your George
directory and select the script xot_titles.grg.
Finally make sure that "Rectangle mode" is selected
and close the "Edit George Command" panel.
Now,
you'll want to use the text tool to design the look of your titles.
Select your font, colors, and effects. You can use whatever effects
you want. The size doesn't matter at this point as you'll see
in a moment, and rotating the text is not recommended as it can
produce some undesired effects, but feel free to experiment.
Finally make sure you have an empty layer selected and also make
sure that the xot_titles.grg
script is selected in the George panel. The script should now
be waiting for you the draw a rectangle. Draw a long horizontal
rectangle near the bottom of the screen, about half an inch high
and nearly the width of the screen. The script will now ask for
a series of responses from you. For now, supply these answers:
"0:Team Banzai", "Left", "No", "No",
"Don't Save". In seconds you'll see a complete set of
titles rendered on the timeline. Move down the timeline frame-by-frame
to see all of the titles. Notice that they are rendered to the
height of the rectangle you drew and they are justified along
the left side of the rectangle as well. You could have just as
easily justified your titles to the center or to the right side
of the rectangle.
These particular titles won't do you much good in your productions, so we will now go about the task of modifying the script for your own titles.
