At a time when little funding for their industry was available, they created magazines, artwork and videos with a DIY asthetic that would make Etsy.com proud. Today, if you've seen the film "Where the Wild Things Are" or caught that Chevy Sonic "car kickflip" ad during the super bowl, then you've seen firsthand what the action sports creative community has brought. Those two projects were directed by Spike Jonze and Ty Evans, respectively, who cut their teeth making skate videos.</p> <p> </p> <p>Okay enough with the prelude. Here's a cool example of name titles placed onto video gear like cameras, memory cards and lighting equipment. Enjoy the creativity, care of those skateboarders you see cruising down the street:</p> <p> </p> <p><a href="http://skateboarding.transworld.net/1000147774/features/the-cinematographer-project-official-trailer/" rel="nofollow">http://skateboarding.transworld.net/1000147774/features/the-cinematographer-project-official-trailer/</a></p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/typographers-quotes-in-ppcs4#post-56937 Wed, 31 Mar 2010 11:48:01 +0000 tallboy 56937@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> How do I get proper typographers quotes (curly quotes) in the PPCS4 Titler, instead of the inch marks it defaults to? I can use Alt0147 and Alt0148, but is there a tidier way? Is there somewhere an option (like in InDesign) to "use typographers quotes"?</p> <p> </p> <p>Thanks</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/missing-software-add-ons-sony-vegas#post-53566 Tue, 29 Dec 2009 16:30:04 +0000 XTR-91 53566@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I've recently purchased the full version of Sony Vegas Pro 9 - got a great deal at <a href="http://www.supersoftwarestore.com/">supersoftwarestore.com</a>. After finally getting the full version to run along with the 9.0c download (update) from Sony, the "Vegas Pro 9" part of the software package seemed to be intact.</p> <p> </p> <p>A short while ago, I noticed the software lacking transitions, title options, and a number of media generator affects. Having edited previous projects with a Sony Vegas trial download, I am now unable to load those projects.</p> <p> </p> <p>Could someone direct me with the apropriate download links to all of these essential add-ons, such as the ones that seem to be only trial-exclusive?</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/why-are-my-illustrator-titles-blurry-on-my-tv#post-52849 Thu, 03 Dec 2009 22:20:21 +0000 surf turkey 52849@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Hello everyone. I'm new to the website and have found sooo much useful information on the forums section. Every time I have a problem I'm always relieved to find a solution here! Well this time I couldn't find an awnser and was looking for a little help..</p> <p>I work for a skateboard company doing filming and video editing. I'm normally busy with skate video editing for web or dvd. Using Illustrator files for titles that normally fade in and out on top of my video while it plays. They always look fine on the web or on dvd's and t.v.'s..</p> <p>But now they got me working on this sales video for all there sales representatives. It's just footage of people talking and giving information in front of the camera. And while they talk I fade in and out Illustrator (vector) files that pinpoint what they are talking about. Just a white background with black text..</p> <p>But for some reason most of the smaller sized text and some pictures are blurry or fuzzy looking on the T.V. after I put it to DVD. Also when I watch it from my camera.</p> <p>Anyone have any words of wisdom??? Or maybe just something simple I'm missing. I thought Vector files always looked good if you import them straight from Illustrator into Final Cut Pro? Any comments would be greatly appreciated!

Although I have a template for the title, I need to apply the effect <strong>manually</strong> every time to the beginning and end of the title...</p> <p>It is time consuming if you are using the template over and over again...</p> <p>So if I can save the title template with the <strong>transition already applied</strong>, this would make life easier...</p> <p>Thanks for any thoughts...</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/transparent-background-for-text#post-35402 Tue, 04 Mar 2008 08:01:36 +0000 erikivy 35402@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Hello All,</p> <p>This is my first post here and I hope my question isn't too dumb.  I've been forced into a situation where I have to create some very simple videos to give a video tour of an apartment complex.  I've never played with video editing at all and although I consider myself fairly computer literate, this one is really giving me fits.  The software (Vegas 8) does not seem very intuitive at all and while I've gone through several tutorials, I can't seem to accomplish what I would expect to be VERY simple effects.</p> <p>I've got some raw video and I just want to superimpose some text on it, but my results have been very hit or miss.  I first used Generated Media, specifially the "Default Text" in the "Text" section.  This item has a checkerboard background (which, according to the documentation) is supposed to be transparent.  Instead, it yields a black background that totally covers the video.  I then tried the "Credit Roll" series of  generated media.  The "Scrolling on Transparent" item worked once (at the very beginning of the video), but when I try to use it again later in the video, it's as if it's not even there.  The video plays and no text is shown at all.</p> <p>This really is a very humbling experience.  I usually pick up new software with ease, but this one has me pulling my hair out.  If anyone has any thoughts or hints, I'd love to hear them.</p>
