Creating Autotitles
Marquee’s AutoTitler is an extremely powerful tool that allows you to create
multiple lower third titles, each with different text content, from a single title
template and an external text document (.txt).
The general workflow for this process is as follows:
1. Create a title template that establishes the look for the lower thirds.
2. Type the name and ident ifying info rmation you need in a text file.
3. Run the AutoTitler.
4. The AutoTitler automatically creates a series of lower-third titles, each
of which uses a different name and ID pair from the text file.
Now let’s go over each step in the process.
First you need to create the title template that will be used for your lower
thirds. You already know many title creation techniques, so you may
use them as needed to produce the look you like for your titles. There
are just a few things to know about your text box layers to set up the
AutoTitler appropriately.
