But Vistitle 2.5 has changed all that as it now integrates neatly with Avid and Premiere too giving a really powerful alternative for many more PC-based editors looking for a little more than their NLE’s basic titling package can offer.
That’s very understandable, especially in a marketplace where you have such a strong standalone product as After Effects and its complete integration with Premiere. With its close integration with Edius, Vistitle hasn’t really gained much take up outside of that community. I really should have given it a go back then as I think I’ve been missing a real gem. Whilst I thought I knew what Vistitle was and how it might help me, I didn’t really fully appreciate how I’d grow to need and want it.Įven though Vistitle was very popular within the Edius community (integrating neatly with it from very early editions) at that time it all seemed a little too template driven to me – and the examples I’d seen produced with it left me a little cold. When I originally ordered my edit suite from them they’d bundled it up within the quote but it had been one of the cutbacks I had to make in order to get the system that I thought I wanted. It was shortly after my final After Effects experience that David Clarke of DVC approached me about reviewing the latest edition of Vistitle (2.5). Either that or maybe it was time for me to start looking elsewhere. After Effects simply doesn’t fit in my head – and I doubt I’m the only one to have come to this conclusion.Īt that point I had accepted the fact that if I ever wanted anything more than I can currently do using Edius (and a bit of Photoshopping) I’d probably be hiring those services in. If I could get to the stage of being able to quickly knock up attractive lower-thirds caption backs and animated title sequences within the free trial period I’d take out one of Adobe’s subscriptions. Unless I’m using a program day-in day-out it doesn’t take long for me to have to re-learn basics in order to get results out in a reasonable amount of time.ĭetermined to get going with After Effects I signed up for the Adobe Creative Suite free month’s trial and set myself a challenge. I’d flirted with it for many years previously, in various editions, but it simply wouldn’t stick in my head. Towards the end of last year I came to the conclusion that I really had to start getting my head around Adobe After Effects as it seemed to be the program of choice for the videographers whose work had inspired me. Edius basic QuickTitler is just that, pretty basic. However, the one thing that always fills me with envy is seeing some of the more sexy things other producers seem to be able to do, with ease, with their titles and graphic effects. It’s as steady and reliable as you can get and does 99% of what I want to do in a quick and logical way. I’m massively impressed with my Edius system from DVC – head over heels in love with it to be more precise.
