change your titles. Use the left or right bracket ( [, ] ) to choose which sub-menu is active.
In this example, the bottom sub-menu is active (Tab, MARK START and MARK END also
work). If you wanted to use the top sub-menu instead, you would press any of the previ-
ously mentioned keys.
One item in the active menu is highlighted. In this example, a color choice is highlighted by
the triangular pointers ( Ã ).
Use the
arrow keys
to move the highlight to a different color. The sample patch ( À) shows
the selected color. Press NEW LINE/OK or PLAY to choose the color you have highlighted.
NEW LINE/OK returns you to the editing screen; PLAY will play the resulting page.
All the characters in the line that contained the cursor will change to the selected color.
More Changes
Use menus to:
• Change font style and size, letter color and pattern, letter outline color and pattern, as
well as background color and pattern.
• Add borders to lines or pages and change their type, color, and pattern.
• Have effects start and end a page of titles.
• Display current time and/or date.
• Make text scroll and crawl.
Each menu works much in the same way: If there are sub-menus, use MARK START to
switch between sub-menus. Then use the arrow keys to highlight your choice and press
PLAY or NEW LINE/OK to implement it.
Notes
• Background, Pattern, and Effect menus affect the entire page that contains the cursor.
The other menus affect only the contents of the line that contains the cursor. If groups
of text lines or pages are marked using MARK START and MARK END, the changes will
affect the lines/pages that are marked.
• You cannot mix characteristics on a line.
• When you are editing text using the Editing Screen, several pages may be on the screen
at once (with page symbols between them). Note that the backgrounds and borders of
all the pages appear in the pattern and color of the page that contains the cursor. As
you move the cursor from one page to another, the patterns and colors used in the
entire screen will change. To see the patterns and color that are set for a particular page,
move the cursor to that page.
• Each page can use one type of pixel pattern and one type of rainbow pattern (see
Chapter 15). So, for example, if you set some letters to use rainbow pattern 11, then set
the background to use rainbow 14, both will use 14.
• When you type something new, it will have the same characteristics as the preceding
letter. If you want to type in a different style, use the menu key to make a new choice
and continue typing.
Superimposing Titles on Video
To superimpose titles on video, change the background to
VIDEO (rather than a solid color or pattern). Follow these
steps:
• Position the cursor on the page that contains the titles
you wish to superimpose.
• Press the BACKGROUND PATTERN menu key.
