Applying Fade and Zoom Effects to the Title text

Greetings! :)

I am using Ulead Videostudio 11 to edit the home videos I record. I just recently wanted to create a title effect during which the title text would slowly fade-in and zoom in from the middle of the screen at the same time, then would fade-out while it is still zooming.

Now, my problem is that the title effect menu of the program only allows me to set either a zoom effect on the text, or a fade-in/out... But cannot set BOTH of them to work simultanously. Is there any way to do this in VideoStudio 11?

In a word, no. The only workaround I can think of is to set the zoom for your title, then render it to a video file. Put that clip of your title onto the timeline THEN fade it in.

You can thank me if it works. :lol:

VS, like probably most editing apps, has its shortcomings. But almost anything is possible with workarounds. The old "out-of-the-box" thinking as it were.

Let us know if it works.

Yep once you turn it into a video file (best format is AVI) you will
then be able to do almost anything with it.
