At the very beginning when we tested the Boris Graffiti plugin, we noticed that it was impossible to use one feature mentionned by the user manual: it is impossible to map an image onto a 3D text extrusion because Studio does not support this feature. I told myself that one solution should exist.... Here it is !

Today, I will talk to you about creating a scrolling credit. You know the vertical one that you usually see towards the end of the film?

You think that Title Deko already makes one that way and you are absolutely right. But the credits that I am suggesting are somewhat out of the ordinary and have some features that Title Deko cannot make. In particular, these credits will not be centered, will be on a colored rectangular background with rounded corners, will not emerge from the bottom of the screen and will disappear before the top of the screen and finally, it will include a blurred area at the beginning and end of the text.

Previous Boris Graffiti tutorials were designed to be playful while illustrating the basic concepts and vocabulary of the software. Here, we return to the main use of Boris Graffiti which is to produce a title. If you really want to use titles that nobody has even thought of yet - let alone integrated into a video, then there is a solution ... create your own title effects.

It seems I have said to you that Boris Graffiti was much more than a titler. However, the first tutorials were all devoted to animated titles with some special effects. So it's time to show you some creative uses of this titler.

I propose this time to awaken a pride of lions in the early morning, on the savannah ...
The spotlight on your 4x4 vehicle will accomplish this feat.

This tutorial explain how to make a banner and the shimmering iridescent colors to be inserted at the bottom of a video. On this strip, two pieces, one on the left and one on the right side of the screen will join at the center of the screen. All of this text, consisting of two pieces, will then disappear to the right of the screen. Of course this does not exist in the Boris graffiti library, this is YOUR effect...

In the previous tutorial, "Boris Graffiti - The Beginning", we discovered the interface and the "Advanced Mode". With this tutorial we will explore one step further by creating a customized text animation. The goal is to discover the various capabilities of this software and simulate the effect of a "Typewriter".

If you have gotten Studio 12 Ultimate, you must add the Boris Graffiti plug-in included in the video effects. Graffiti is more than just a titler. Obviously it can make static and animated titles of all types, both 2D and 3D, but it can also add filters, film that burns, writing styles like Star Wars, ripple effects, spirals, ... In short, many things.
