Re: [Avid-L2] Info on BCC Title Studio

BCC Title Studio has been constant frustration for me, the learning curve is impossible (almost).
Nothing about it is logical, nor understandable.  Sometimes you just get lucky and make things work after a lot of searching for answers.

To make a simple title,
First Delete the Default Title, start from scratch with a New Flat Text Object.
Then create your title.
If you want to make a drop shadow, you have to find the Shadow tab in the Controls window.
Then you can set the parameters.  You must check the Drop Shadow box in the Shadow Tab, or it will not become active (default state is off!)  It's a little tiny box that is easy to miss, so you will be frustrated as to why you don't see the drop shadow.
In the Text Box, there is also a control for Drop Shadow.  Those two controls dont seem to be identical, so I couldn't say why there are two different areas to control the drop shadow.
Also, I've had a problem when I create a title and use it for a default setting.  The drop shadow would revert to a default system setting, but I was told that was because I created the text in automation mode.  No Idea what that is.

Anyway, BCC Title Studio makes really nice titles, once you figure it out.

Hope this helps a bit.
