Missing functionality in Boris Graffiti plugin for Studio - Wednesday, September 03, 2008

Un menu pop-up qui n'existe pas dans le plug-in Boris Graffitipour Studio

Do not try this pop-up menu in Boris Graffiti...

With the release of the Boris Graffiti plugin in Studio, Pinnacle announced that a user manual is available : very good idea. So I wanted to try it out...

Until page 40, everything is fine. Then I tried the technique called "Filling Text With Image-Based Texture". And here is where the problems started... The pop-up menu that I have on my screen does not look like the screenshot appearing on page 41. In particular, the sub-menu "Still Image File..." to achieve the operation is missing.

Below is the reply I got from Boris Graffiti:

"This feature was removed from the Boris Graffiti for Pinnacle Studio plug-in for technical reasons. We are sorry that we missed removing it from the final documentation."

So do not waste your time trying to use an image texture as the basis for filling text, the feature has been withdrawn. You can skip pages 41 to 44...

Note : We have removed the Boris Graffiti manual edited by Pinnacle from our download page, and replaced it with the official english documentation BORIS GRAFFITI

What is Boris Graffiti ?

Boris Graffiti can achieve any form of 2D and 3D text, especially with extruded fonts. Graffiti has a full range of animated possibilities: 3D text on a path (whose shape and position can also be animated), lighting, multiple 3D camera, and more.

These advanced features make it possible to modify the surface of a form in three dimensions. Graffiti lets you switch between 2D to 3D text, so you can literally give your title another dimension.

You can try without any trepidation because it is really very easy. All Graffiti tracks have a pop-up menu that lets you easily choose options.

For example, keyframes can create a movement in a title, you have multiple abilites in animation, effects of gradual emergence (the famous typewriter machine) or progressive dissolve, titles can wrap around an object, the ability to write several columns (generic Role, Actor with justification characters reversed - the first column on the right, left 2nd column).

The principle is very simple, you take one of the many effects ready for use in the library effects and :

You use it as is, or
You change it at your convenience.

Boris Graffiti can also add film filters that burn, the StarWars type title, ripples, spirals ...
In short, Boris Graffiti is a sophisticated titling solution.
The integration of Boris Graffiti V5 in Studio 12 Ultimate is something new that will save you time. Watch the demonstration (Boris Graffiti used in Pinnacle Studio).

What users do with Boris FX

This movie to the right is a demonstration created by Le Papy in less than 10 minutes and using effects included in Boris Graffiti 5 which is bundled with Studio 12 Ultimate.

No need to switch to "advanced mode" for such effects.
