Movie Title Maker is a Windows graphics editor for making text animations. There is a library of visual effects and filters included with the tool.

Interface

The main window contains a section with tools and a timeline. Users can paint with a selection of brushes as well as draw shapes like squares, ellipses and stars. Moreover, a vector tool is provided to create lines and curves. It is possible to import the image file into the project as well. All popular formats are supported.

One of the main functions of the program is creating and modifying text objects. You can choose any font, style and size of the titles. Alignment settings are flexible and allow you to place the text exactly at the right place.

The final results can be saved in video formats such as MOV, AVI, and SWF. It is possible to convert individual animation frames into bitmap images.

It is worth mentioning that this software has very limited functionality as a graphics editor. To try a more powerful solution users can download Ulead Photo Express.

Filters and effects

You are able to apply a selection of 2D and 3D effects such as Fly, Twirl, Twist, Rotate, etc. to create an animation out of the text. Every one of them has additional fine-tuning parameters.

Provided filters include Blur, Mirror, Fill, Emboss and other options. Each option can be previewed in the editor window.

Please note that Movie Title Maker is a paid software. The free trial version has watermarks on the pictures and will stop working 15 days after installation.
