BluffTitler is a program for creating beautiful 3D text effects and simple animation used in video editing.
The result can be viewed in real time and then exported to a picture or video format.
All created animation consists of layers that can be modified independently.
BluffTitler supports a large number of different types of layers: camera, light, text, image, video, plasma, particle, audio, etc.
Layers can be linked to each other to create special effects. The program can be used in conjunction with such packages as:
Pinnacle Studio, Sony Vegas, Ulead VideoStudio, MAGIX video deLuxe, Canopus Edius and Adobe Premiere.
A total of 12 types of layers are available, which can be added to a project by selecting Layer from the menu:
Light - a layer that allows you to set the lighting of the project. The program allows you to choose between two types of illuminators - Ambient Light and Point Light. The first is more common and allows you to adjust only the color of the lighting, but with the help of Point Light you can select the intensity and position of the light source, determine the presence of shadows.
Text is a layer for adding text. Since the creation of titles is the main purpose of the program, we can say that this layer is the main one. A huge number of parameters are available for the text, including the size of the point size, transparency, twisting, changing the position, scale, spacing between letters.
EPS - this layer makes it possible to add vector objects in EPS format to the project, such as arrows, geometric shapes, etc.
Picture - layer for adding a background image. Supported formats are BMP, JPG, PNG, TGA, etc. Many options are available for this layer, such as changing transparency, texture repeatability, rotation, resizing.
Video - the layer resembles the previous one and is designed to add a background video file. Supported file types are ASF, AVI, MPG, MPEG, VOB, QT and WMV.
Video Capture is a layer that allows you to include video captured from an external source in your project.
Plasma and Particle - with the help of these layers, you can add prepared versions of animations with particles and light effects to the titles. It can be a picture that resembles interference on a TV screen, fireworks, falling snowflakes, a fountain, etc. Interestingly, these two layers can be used not only as a background, but also to decorate other layers. For example, if you add one of them to the text, then the animation effects will appear inside or around the letters. Thus, it is possible, for example, to create burning text. To add a Plasma or Particle layer to another layer, use the Attach command on the Layer menu.
Model - layer provides an interesting opportunity to add three-dimensional models to the project. The program supports the only .X format. Files of this format can be obtained, for example, by exporting a 3D model from 3ds Max. To do this, you first need to install the free Panda DirectX Exporter plugin. The plugin is only available for 3ds Max versions 6-8.
Scroll is a layer for creating text that moves across the screen at different speeds and in different directions.
Audio - with this layer, you can add musical accompaniment to the project. MP3, WAV and MID formats are supported.
Passe-Partout - a layer that creates frames of various shapes, inside which effects animation takes place.
Almost every option available in the layer settings can be animated. The program uses key frame animation. This means that the user needs to specify the effect parameters in the first and last frames, and in all intermediate frames they will be selected automatically by the program.
Keyframes appear as blue markers on the animation timeline. Previously created keyframes can be moved, thereby setting the duration of a particular effect. For example, if a text layer is animated with a rotation option, the smaller the distance between keyframes, the faster the text will rotate.
All of the above applies to the parameters of other layers. For example, using keyframes, you can set the change in the intensity of lighting, the gradual disappearance of the background image (to do this, you need to animate the transparency parameter), etc. To make it easier to navigate through the numerous layer settings, the program adds a + sign next to the name of the parameter that has been changed by the user.
The finished project can be exported to an AVI file with or without compression. In addition, you can specify the presence of an alpha channel for transparency. You can also save the video as a sequence of Targa files, with or without an alpha channel.
