Introduction


Titles tend to be underutilized to a degree in many video productions, which is unfortunate. Aside from conveying essential information, titles can set the tone, add style and fun to a video, and let the video editor show off a bit. This chapter will explore the use of motion, color, fonts, and music to create a retro '60s look. This title technique can be a lot of fun to put together and can quickly turn an ordinary picnic, family reunion, or other subject into a cool "happening" with a real '60s-style flair.

There's a lot to learn in this chapter, and a lot to do. But once you get the handle on this technique (and don't have to keep referring to this book for instructions on how to do it), you'll see how surprisingly quick and easy it really is to apply this title effect, and variations of it, whenever you want.

You'll find that the skills and knowledge that you learn in creating this simple (but cool, baby!) effect will be something that you'll be able to apply on a variety of projects in a number of different ways. Using keyframes, motion effects, and mattesas well as understanding the basic size and shape of the screen and techniques such as timing and synchronizationare essential skills for any video editor seeking to create enjoyable, watchable, and interesting movies.
