Show/Hide Embed Code

So you have a bunch of subtitles or lower thirds to do. They all look the same, except for the contents. You’re not seriously considering doing them all by hand in Title Tool, are you?

Enter Marquee’s Autotitler, which is here to make your life easy. Honestly, if you didn’t know about this one, you will thank me sooner or later. And don’t be afraid of Marquee, it doesn’t bite! (It may confuse you, but it does not bite.)

  • I now love this screencast, never have I seen so much in so little time, that will save me so much time. Confused? Thanks a bunch can't wait to show this trick off!

    Is it possible after doing that to automatically change the font on all title, if the Art director don't like the font? Or you have to redo everything by hand? And what if you animate it and have to redo it? You save your animate effect and apply it after replacing the title in the timeline?
  • avidscreencast
    Yes, you'll have to redo all the titles with the changed design. It's
    a pain, I know. If you have animated the title in Effect Editor, you
    can either save the effect to a bin and apply it to the new title
    after cutting it into the timeline or just overwrite key and fill of
    the original title with key/fill of the new title. This way, you can
    retain your original animation.

    This would have saved me so much time in the past. I need to integrate this into my workflow. Thanks

    Christian,
    That has to be the coolest thing I've learnt about Avid in a while...
    Thanks for posting. Although I have a number of reservations about Marquee as a tool - mainly is woeful scripts and render - and with many more better Titlers out there - Heroglyph and dare I say Boris - this has actually restored some of my faith.
    Keep up the great work.
