MTV-style Video Titles

Hi Friends,
Just moving over from iMovie, where this was pretty simple...
How do I set up an MTV style, 3-line, lower left corner overlay for my music video?
i.e.
The Beatles
Yellow Submarine
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
I've been playing with the Generator, but have not been able to figure out how to get this effect properly formatted.
Which generator layout would be best?
Or is this a LiveType project?
Thank you.
DJ

Make it up in Title 3D, left aligned. Put it on top of your video in the timeline. Open the title from the title and in the controls use the position crosshair button to position the lower third on the title safe box.

What font is used in the "video title text" in Adobe Presenter Video Creator? I need to replicate it

What font is used in the "video title text" in Adobe Presenter Video Creator? I need to replicate it.

I just noticed, Hah! That it is the same font as used in the text on this page. Anyone know what it is?

Video titling behind moving objects

i recently saw a titling effect in a video, in which a motorcycle drove across the screen and as it passed a title appeared behind it. how does one create video titling behind moving objects? i have no experience in animation, so i'm guessing that the video layer is duplicated and the top layer masked, frame by frame? would an 8-point garbage matte work?

You won't have an easy time doing this in FCP, but Motion, After Effects, or ultimately Shake, can do this a lot easier. You have to rotoscope the motorcycle, accounting for the rims, and space between the engine parts, or anywhere else where you would logically see through to the background, then duplicate that layer on top of the original, with the text in between the two layers. Depending on how long the clip is, you're in for a long haul. But if the footage is anything but DV25, clip analysis and automated keyframing might serve you well as a starting point after the initial mask is made.

Space for video titles is too small!

Hi,
Am I missing something? The amount of space assigned to a video title is too small - for example I have 3 podcasts called
OnSoftware - Secure Coding in C and C++ with Robert Seacord - Part 1
OnSoftware - Secure Coding in C and C++ with Robert Seacord - Part 2
OnSoftware - Secure Coding in C and C++ with Robert Seacord - Part 3
The video list shows 3 videos called 'Secure Coding in C...' - how would I know which one is which?
And no, they're not in numerical order!
Is there any way to get the video title to scroll to see the rest of it?
Cheers,
Steve.

I agree with this, hopefully well have scrolling text in the future, as per previous iPods.

"Star Wars" style scrolling title?

I am a new iMovie user (one week) and am getting frustrated already with the limited titles that seem to be provided. I am looking for two kinds of titles:
1) A "Star Wars" style scrolling title to present a paragraph of text that bridges a narrative gap in my movie. I thought I could use the "credits" one, only to find out that iMovie automatically splits the text into two halves as though it were crediting people for roles in a movie. Argh! What I'm looking for is not exactly "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away" where it disappears to a vanishing point at the top, but just something where a block of text can scroll smoothly up from the bottom and disappear up the top of the screen (if that makes sense).
2) Also looking for a way to make "subtitles" that appear lower on the screen than the one provided with iMovie.
Thanks!

...but just something where a block of text can
scroll smoothly up from the bottom and disappear up
the top of the screen (if that makes sense).
Have you tried "Scrolling Block"?
2) Also looking for a way to make "subtitles" that
appear lower on the screen than the one provided with
iMovie.
Note that iMovie lets you adjust the vertical position of certain titles. As the title plays in the little preview window, move the mouse over the window. If the cursor changes to a cross the title is movable. Click on it to drag up or down.
"Centered Title" is one.
Other titling options are built into your Mac. They include all the text options in TextEdit, which lets you make lots of cool text. You convert the text into an image and import it.
You can also use the Ken Burns Effect in iMovie to zoom/pan across images of text. You can create a block of text of any style or combinations of style, capture it as an image, and import the image using the Ken Burns effect to animate it however you like.
It's possible too, of course, to purchase third-party title plug-ins for iMovie.

How can I make a "Youtube" style video gallery for offline, '.air' use?

I work for a language company and we've put together a set of videos for use in computers, not online. Currently we're using Apple's Keynote to present our videos to to the student. This has the advantage of allowing us to put videos in a sequential order, with absolutely no work in the development department, and most importantly was easy for any student to control and navigate.
Things have now changed.
Keynote can no longer hold the size of our videos and we are constantly adding and changing videos all the time. Now that CS5 is out, I would like to build a stand alone flash application for our system modeled after the same look and functionality of youtube.
Key features would be:
• Main video player that links to our resident video files
• Something that generates and displays a title for the current video
• A text box below the main video player for notes and instructions
• a side bar of thumbnails for all related videos, with titles displayed
Future features would be an easy way for us to change videos in and out of the library (by "uploading" and "downloading" using a form for the videos, although not to the net, but again, on the resident computer).
It looks like CS5 would make this possible. My plan is to make a youtube-like site using flash catalyst. I think I can do it myself since the first version only needs basic elements and design, but I know I'm going to run into some problems because I'm not sure the limitations of catalyst for this style of interactive video gallery.
What I'm looking for is someone to just quickly guide, tell, or yell me in the right direction, and I'm really keen (hell-bent?) on trying it out using Flash Catalyst... is this the way?
Keeping in mind that my first draft only has to be a simple working version of the system, and I can play with the rest later, is any of what I said possible using flash catalyst?
Thanks in advance to whoever can help me out!

I doubt MU can do this. It's pretty limited in scope & I don't think it supports server-side code which you would need to parse feeds. But feel free to post your question in the MU forum. Maybe somebody there has a workaround.

Can't see Video titles in ipod

Hello,
I put some home videos on new ipod. I named them, but when i use the ipod the videos play, but i can't see the titles. How do I need to name the files?
Thanks!

Unfortunately, only TV Shows bought directly from the iTunes Music Store will show up as TV Shows on your iPod (by default). You'll have to leave your videos labeled as Movies, if you want them to show up on your iPod. Sorry.

Video titles missing from iOS 7 video app

The new video app in iOS 7 shows you icons of each video. But the title of the video has been removed (iOS 6 would show an icon AND the title). Can that be restored? I don't want to have to select each individual video, go to that video's screen to find out which video/tv shoe/movie it is, go back to the main screen, select the next video, etc., until I find the one I want.

i agree. on ios 6, I had a list of the titles. Now I have to guess what the videos are (some have totally black frames) and hit them hoping to get the correct one or one nearby - as they are in alphabetical order. I am a professional videographer and this makes it more difficult for me to demo my material. There is no option I can tell to change the behavior.
Shame - I also had an issue with a change they made to the music play (you can no longer drill down on genre and get just artists, albums and then songs in that genre). Apple has said this is by design.
Looks like I now need a new third party music app and video app. Apple does not understand that when you upgrade or improve functionality, you don't remove prior functionality - you make it at least an option.
(I even consider a 'workaround' by unchecking everything in spotlight search but videos but there is nothing I know of [or is there] that matches everything like an asterisk does in windows)

Video titles disappeared

I have many videos on iPad, but now it's painful to open each video to find correct because in iOS 7 the titles disappeared. And please don't recommend to have any cover art..... it used to work just fine.

OH MY GOD! This EXACT thing just happened to me! It didn't save my event and didn't show the date in the iMovie library but if I look under all projects, the project is there. Except that there are little blank place holders where all my clips were. Also the title of the project has a little yellow "!" symbol next to it which I can only assume means that the file is corrupted.
I can't believe it destroyed like 8 hours of work!
I have a 15" mid 2011 MBP and Mavericks OS.

Long Filenames for Video titles do not scroll

Hello,
I have a series of videos with long titles such as:
British Next Top Model S02E04 - Model Number 5 Confession
The IPOD Video section shows something like
"British Next Top Model S02E... "
"British Next Top Model S02E... "
"British Next Top Model S02E... "
"British Next Top Model S02E... "
and NONE of the videos actually scroll.
All long song (music) names will scroll.
I have firmware 1.0 and NOT 1.1.
Several friends who have 1.1 confirmed scrolling works, however, the files are not the same.
Any suggestions? Can a long video filename scroll in firmware 1.0?
Thanks in advance for your consideration,
David

Cannot change Video Titles - Revert back to original

When I import my videos into iTunes they have incorrect titles and when I try to change them by using "Get Info" they don't change. Just seeing if there is something small I'm missing before I reinstall

I can not change the video name from their original titles. For example, VTS014 is the title I can not change. They are not read only and the videos play fine in iTunes and on my iPod.

No video titles!

I have 40 or so videos on my ipod. Some have titles on the ipod and some do not. They highlight and and play, but have no titles. Does anyone know why?

Experiencing the same thing. I've noticed the symptoms thusly:
Dragging movie to itunes and it automatically places it in "Movies" folder. If I decide to change info to say it's a music video or tv show or something else; once I sync the ipod, the tag info is lost and it looks like you're describing.
If I leave it alone, I'm typically OK.
Sometimes I've managed to get the first letter of the title to display.
It seems flakey though.
Once it's lost, I haven't figured out how to get it back.
I've reset the iPod, rerun updater, and reinstalled iTunes with no help.

Video titles

i imported some of my own movies and converted them to my ipod. everything works fine-the sound, the video, but i cannot see the title in the ipod menu. I can see where it SHOULD BE, and i can select it, but there is no title. the have titles in itunes. help me!

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Does this happen with all of the videos you imported, or just the one?
Try right clicking it in iTunes and go to get info. Retype the movie name and click ok. Sync your iPod with the computer.
Also, make sure everything is up to date...
iTunes
iPod Updater
Updating iPod's Software
Finally, try resetting your iPod...
Resetting iPod
Post back if the problem persists.

Quicktime home video title ratio problem

My dad is running Quicktime 7.7.1 on a PC type system. On Windows XP.
He took some videos on his camera in New Zealand when on holiday.
Then he only just found yesterday how to edit in Quicktime to put videos together.
He wanted a title today, and I tried making a version of the still title in Adobe Illustrator CS5 with a Video and Film template of the ratio 2048x1536 , then transferred that into Adobe Flash Pro CS5 and ran it for 5 secs 24 fps.
Exported that to Quicktime format - .mov - and saved it to a usb stick. Dad put it into his computer and then tried to edit it into the start of the movie.
A white upside down L appeared around the top left corner to the lower right side around the title I had made.
And then it went into the movie ok, so how do I make the ratio the right one? The ratio I used was based on the size from the camera dad showed me.
It seemed large, as TV in widescreen is a lot smaller ratio!

And then it went into the movie ok, so how do I make the ratio the right one? The ratio I used was based on the size from the camera dad showed me.
Aspect ratio is a relationship between the width of your video and its height. A 640x480, 1280x960, and your 2048x1536 title image all have the same aspect ratio—1.33:1 (aka 4:3). What is important here is that your your dad's video and the title image have the same dimensions. To know what dimensions you need to use, simply open the video you wish to title in the QT 7 (or other) media player and use the inspector/property window to find out its dimensions. Then all you need to do in CS5 is create a new blank "Custom" image window having the same dimensions for your title.
At this point I personally would save the title image as a PNG or JPEG image for compact transmission to your dad. He could then open the image as a single image sequence @ 5 seconds/frame and either
1) Merge it with his video content immediately for viewing in the QT 7 media player,
2) Export the title to the same video compression format and frame rate as the videos with which he wishes to merge the content, or
3) Merge and export the titled video as may be required for a specific target use. For instance, most users export their merged content to H.264/AAC for viewing on a mobile device (iPod, iPhone, iPad, TV, etc.) which normally requires the merged audio and/or video data to be on a single, continuous track.
