I wanted to create titles out of flying letters for RobotMedia showcases, so i put
together this java program which uses b-splines to control x y position,
scale, and r,g,b,a color values. splines can be input and edited by
dragging points around and using dialog boxes. Text or images can be
moved around the screen (screen region and title safe overscan region
shown as an aide). The animation can be navigated with the slider, or can
be previewed or saved as a sequence of jpegs. Projects are saved in a
text format, so they can be edited by other means. For instance, falling
letters or spinning motions can be created programatically and then
imported into this.
I made this for my own use, but if you want to use it, you can download it
as a
jar file. Source is included, if you're
interested in that too. Run it with 'java -jar titler.jar'. I think this
is for java 1.3 and up.
