Titles and graphic elements imported with an alpha channel display as
downstream key (DSK) effects. DSK effects play in real time.
Creating Titles
The following is an overview of the tasks you perform to create a title:
• Set up the drawing environment. After you open the Title tool,
you choose whether to display a color background or a frame of
video from your sequence. You can also use safe colors or safe title
and action guidelines or apply a grid for the placement of objects.
• Create a new title with the Title tool. You create the title by
working with text and graphic objects and then applying and
adjusting borders, colors, transparency, and shadows.
• Save the title and exit the Title tool. When you save a new title,
you select a resolution that is compatible with your project and a
target drive for the title media. You can also save just the styles for
the title for future use. When you close the Title tool, the new title
appears in the bin and in the Source/Record monitor, ready for
editing.
These basic procedures are described throughout this chapter. For
information on editing a title into a sequence, see Chapter 6.
Downstream Keying of Titles and Graphics
By default, Newscutter creates all titles using the system’s downstream
key (DSK) capabilities. Graphic elements imported with an alpha
channel are also created as DSK clips.
Downstream keying allows you to add uncompressed titles or
graphics over multiple streams of compressed media and continue to
