Regardless of how short or simple a project is, it always requires some sort of titling or graphics support, and the VT[3]™ Character Generator is ready to help you create network-quality graphics right from the start. One hundred default templates are ready for your customizing touch, in any of several different categories:

Once modified, your template can be saved for instantly recalling that client's special.

• Live Video Reference
Character Generator's unique integration into this Integrated Production Suite affords such useful tools as the ability to use live video or a captured clip as a background element in the composition window, to speed up placement and colour selection. Use the Gradients bin to quickly create, save and load gradients. Gradients can be applied on each character or stretched across words or grouped elements.
