Title: Looking for freeware avi programm
Post by: Starman01 on November 11, 2010, 05:29:36 am
Hey there,

again, I'm looking for a certain program :) And I hope you people can help me :

I want to create very simple avi video files. In these files, I just want to show a slowly downwards moving text. Not the star wars intro type that vanishes in the background, just normal text slowly moving downwards.

Of course it would be good, If I could set some of the text proportions and the moving speed. Most important, it should allow me to alter the size of the letters, because the output will most likely only be 256x256 pixels so I will need rather large letters to make it readable afterwards.

Does anyone know of something useable ?

B/R

Windows Movie Maker? :nervous:

EDIT:

VirtualDub is your friend, too (if you don't have the WMM :) )

You could do that in Flash and export to AVI. The process itself would be very simple. Not a free app, though.

Hm, with WMM I can make one with single images. But I hoped for something, where I can simply type the text I want and it used some sort of pre-designed effect to make it run down. With standpics, I simply have to do to many frames, and I'm to lazy for that :)

What Flash ? Adobe Flash ?

If you had a Mac, iMovie might be able to do it...

Yep. If you got it, go through the basic animation tutorial that covers motion tweens, get the text rolling, and export. Like I said though, not a free app.
