Thank you for all your help. Now I have a lot more options to test out. I already was able to import a title to a widescreen backdrop. Now I can have more fun experimenting around. I am going to test out most of your suggestions.

Thanks again. I am one day closer to getting my first project completed.]]> Thu, 14 Apr 2016 01:37:30 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic3541-movie-poster-font.aspx Message from jgourlay
The good news is you should be able to do what you want with the free tools available to you!!!

PNGs are working for me on a Widescreen BackDrop. Just create a backdrop, edit it and click on the image under properties and you can import png,jpg,bmp,etc...avi video files are currently broken but I don't see anyone mentioning png's on latest release feedback

I have GIMP editing on my computer, too and it is mentioned in the Wiki, but I can not save it in a compatible format (at least as far as I know).

GIMP supports a ton of formats including all the main ones Muvizu supports. It looks like you need to use import/export to use the other formats not save.

So I can load my Muvizu project into Camtasia or Windows, and add the titles there? Is that the best option? Once I get an update to this thread I might have more to ask.

Windows Movie Maker is extremely easy and has some snazzy built in effects that you simply drag and drop on to a timeline around your output video once you load it (not your muvizu project, your avi or mp4 output), at least in the latest versions. It also now supports mp4 output not just wmv. You may have to download it from Microsoft but its free.

Hopefully you can get either a texture working or use movie maker and get your title and credits attached to your animation.

Cheers

Rocque, you could make your titles/credits as a picture (in photoshop or whatever), apply them to backdrops, then animate the backdrop (so that they scroll) and point a camera at that. Just a thought.

I have read that I can not upload a .png file and I have tried to make sure but that is a no go. I have not done any 3-D modeling and that seems way to involved for my time commitment right now. I do not have anything that will make an .ase or .fbx file to import.

Thanks everyone.

I have been searching for a way to add a title and credits to an animation here with no luck. Maybe this is it. If you want to point me in the direction to do that I would appreciate it.


You'll need to use a video editor. You probably have windows movie maker on your computer which is quite simple to use. However, if you'd like something more robust then there is a list of free ones here: http://muvizu.com/Wiki/wiki/116
If you decide you'd like more features and output options, you might want to look into getting a professional editor like Sony Vegas or coral.]]> Tue, 12 Apr 2016 08:05:10 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic3541-movie-poster-font.aspx Message from Rocque Tue, 12 Apr 2016 03:06:05 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic3541-movie-poster-font.aspx Message from InsaneHamster
