The timeline in NewBlue Titler Pro is worth mentioning as well: any animation and transition gets a segment in the timeline. It's very easy to explore different options, since previews happen in real time and you can tweak parameters as well as preview entirely new presets, all without stopping playback.

Apply a template and click on any of the animations in the timeline to explore how the app does its thing. The templates are a nice way to explore exactly how NewBlueFX Titler Pro works. The interface takes some getting used to but there are familiar things like sliders and the parameters that any editor who has done any animation will be familiar with. There's a Library of everything, from text styles, moves and animations onto the screen and off, to entire templates that combine many different moves and transitions into a prebuilt text effect. What makes it feel very LiveType-like are the ton of preset animations, transitions and movements that can be applied to text with very little effort. This $300 application works on both Mac and PC and supports most NLE out there (except Final Cut Pro X). LiveType is gone but if you're looking for a dedicated title creation and animation tool, then Titler Pro from NewBlueFX might be right up your alley. That may be good or bad, depending on your opinion. We won't even mention LiveFonts, except to mention you could pick out a LiveFont from a mile away.

It was possible to create some nice titles that didn't scream LiveType if you used a bit of restraint. Remember LiveType? That quirky little titling application that came along around Final Cut Pro 4 and did some pretty cheesy nifty animated titles without a whole lot of animation effort? Many people loved it, some people hated it and others would use it but never admit it.
