Resolution-Independent, 2D/3D Title Effects and
Animation Plug-In Application
Boris
GRAFFITI is the most flexible
title animation plug-in for non-linear editing. GRAFFITI provides
common text formatting options including kerning, tabs and word wrap
while adding powerful animation tools and filter effects. Unlimited
layers of text can be rotated, extruded and lit using realistic lighting
tools. Text can be filled using media directly from the NLE timeline
without importing or exporting. Advanced keyframing provides smooth
motion with Bezier graphs. Auto-create single page rolls and crawls with
drag and drop ease.
Boris is offering 30-day trial versions
of their products
so you can try before you buy! You can download both Win
or Mac
versions!
Top Features
The full range of new features in Boris GRAFFITI make it the most powerful 2D and 3D titler on the market: vector text,
auto-animation, text on path, texture generation, 3D materials, multiple
cameras, 3D lights, extrusion, and animation of 2D and 3D text in
three-dimensional space.
Vector Text
Boris GRAFFITI is the first integrated titling
application to offer vector text. Video graphics
are typically composed of individual blocks called pixels. As a
graphic's scale increases, the individual pixels become increasingly
visible and the images increasingly degrade. Vector text uses outlines
to display text with razor sharpness at any scale. Instead,
GRAFFITI 2 creates vector text that remains fully editable as text
throughout the compositing process, within your favorite editing
application. Fewer steps, more flexibility, and all the power you want,
exactly where you need it.
New 3D Power
Boris GRAFFITI has always led the way in making 3D title animation as
painless as possible, without sacrificing power. Extrusion
in GRAFFITI couldn't possibly be easier: one pop-up menu to choose
"3D Extrusion" and you're done. Any parameter related to
extrusion can be animated (depth, bevel, etc.), and media such as video,
still images, gradients, and text can be mapped to any side of 3D
objects, again, with a single menu option in GRAFFITI's hierarchical
nested timeline.
GRAFFITI 2 also adds the ability to create and save a
wide variety of materials to map to extruded objects, including glass,
gold, aluminum, and plastic. Knowing that not all compositors have the
time or inclination to become 3D artists, GRAFFITI 2 includes a number
of preset materials, as well as variations saved to the Style Palette,
ready to apply to any object. However, GRAFFITI 2 also offers an
Advanced Materials options for adjusting your own settings for
reflectivity, transparency, specularity, color and more. Add
to this full control over reflection and texture maps, multiple cameras
per scene (any of which may animate Pan, Orbit, or Position), 3D lights
and GRAFFITI's ability to map text to a variety of 3D shapes, and you
have the most powerful 3D titler available.
Improved Interface
New timeline buttons create new media tracks (text,
extruded text, stills, gradients, color) with a single click. Favorite
filters (as defined by users in the Preferences) can be applied with one
click as well.
New Controls window buttons allow one-click
application of drop shadows (using the last applied shadow as a starting
point), toggle to wireframe view, and the direct selection of the Face
track in the timeline. By toggling the selection of a track's Face,
users can make significant adjustments to any track's media: editing
gradients, selecting still image files, setting colors and so on. A
color/grayscale ramp is also provided to speed color selection.
Export to Flash, Movie Files, and Still Images
As an integrated title application, Boris GRAFFITI allows host
applications to handle rendering. GRAFFITI 2 offers a number of new
options to take advantage of new features in host applications, as well
as offering features that most NLEs do not. Chief
among these is direct export of title animations as Flash .swf file
animations. Titles composed for use in video and film projects can thus
be deployed for the web, with a single click.
Many NLEs support real-time playback of static files
with alpha from the timeline. To take advantage of this, GRAFFITI 2 can
export still image files with alpha. These can then be reimported to the
NLE, and composited over video in real time. Some
NLEs also support moving alpha channels. To take advantage of this,
GRAFFITI 2 can export movies of text over alpha, which can render at
speeds little more than 30 frames per second on some systems. Animated
files with alpha are then composited over moving video in real time, and
may be reused without rerendering.
The Bottom Line: Speed, Power, Flexibility
Easy export of Flash, movie and still files are just the
beginning of the speed improvements made to Boris GRAFFITI 2. It also
features a more responsive interface, faster loading fonts, as well as
faster 3D display and rendering. As a result, no
other titling application offers more flexibility for video editors and
compositors, working inside leading NLE and effects applications on both
platforms. Unprecedented power, speed and ease of use are just some of
the ways that Boris GRAFFITI 2 is setting a new standard for title
animation.
