Ulli, alfongxs, MrGruntHunter and 4 others like this!
I would like a BixPack of subtitles for interviews (lower third) with a simple and professional look. I also told Michiel that he liked the idea.
I did this test, what do you think?
Obviously, the background will be transparent to insert the video.
Do you like this idea? Why not try it too ...
Franco that could be a quite useful pack to have.... especially with the background transparent.

I think Blufftitler could be given more attention for controlling and sending broadcast graphics in live production. Right now you would have to use this type pf graphic over a green background to Chroma Key with your switcher. And depending on the levels of transparencies (glares, smoke, particles, etc) over the green areas, we are limited to the quality of keying over live video. It would be great to have 1080p live video input support using Newtek's open source NDI (Network Device Interface) protocol. Version 9 supported Blackmagic Design's Decklink Video Card so you could send out Key/Fill sources directly from Blufftitler but since v10 it was discarded. I would pay extra to have these options.

Nice Franco!! I think it's wonderful when things are made to allow Blufftitler to be used for TV graphics especially for live production.

You don't need a green background for BluffTitler. Just the transparent background as it already has! The electronics already recognize signal 0, alpha key has always been so in broadcast graphics titler.

Thank you for your request! Notice that many BixPacks already offer lower thirds:

And the installer comes with 4 lower 3rds:
BluffTitler\Media\Shows\Text\LowerThird1.bt
BluffTitler\Media\Shows\Text\LowerThird2.bt
BluffTitler\Media\Shows\Text\LowerThird3.bt
BluffTitler\Media\Shows\Text\LowerThird4.bt

yes, sorry. I did not mean there was no Lower Third. I think BluffTitler is better than many titling software. For this reason, creating graphics to be superimposed on video with transparent background expands the market because people like to put titles in their videos. BluffTitler is right for this purpose and it's very easy to create animations of this kind. What is lacking in people (I do not mean users in this forum) are the ideas. To find BixPack ready also decides to buy software.
