BasicApplications
TitleMaker 3000 can be used in live or taped settings. Chapter 21, “Editing,
Presentations, and Other Applications,” describes these functions in more
detail and explains how they are accomplished with TitleMaker 3000.
• You can add titles as you copy or edit tapes. The original tape remains
untouched — titles are added to the edited copy. TitleMaker 3000 works
with VCRs and camcorders of all videotape formats as long as the equip-
ment used has composite or S-video outputs. You can superimpose titles
on live video or on colored backgrounds, using fades and wipes to transi-
tion between plain video and video with titles.
For example, you might start a basketball video with a solid color screen
with the title of the video. The names of the players could scroll onto the
background. Then the titles could fade away. As the players run onto the
court, their names appear, superimposed over the image at the bottom of
the screen. The last name fades away as play begins. A player makes a
difficult basket and the crowd roars! The score appears over a wildly-col-
ored, animated background pattern and scrolls off the screen as play con-
tinues.
• You can present a running slate of on-screen titles for display, video-DJ,
point-of-sale, or “video-billboard” applications. You can place titles on top
of colored or patterned backgrounds or on live or taped video material.
