I am in need of advice. Has anyone out there done any video titling
using Lights-Camera_Action, TV Text-TV Show and Deluxe Paint II.
I am trying to do titling on wedding tapes. I have a 2000 with
an 80meg drive and two disk drives and a Gen/One genlock. My problem
is when I use Hi Res it keeps telling me not enough memory and I
can't do anything, however when I use Med. Res. everything is fine
except when played back on the TV colors tend to bleed.
Can Hi Res or Video Res be used with the standard memory that comes
with the 2000 or do I have to go out and buy more? I know that
this is not much to go on but I am new to this titling game and
obviously have a lot to learn. Thanks for any type of help.

You're probabbly bumping into the upper limits of CHIP ram, which can
become a problem when using hi-res overscan 16 color screens. I'd
suggest getting the new Fat Agnus chip which will double the available
video memory.

I have the same problem with Dpaint II and now III. It won't let you bring up more than an 8 color screen in hi-res overscan mode. If you are doing titles and only need letters to show up, turn off overscan mode. If you need an overscan image to cover the screen, shut down the Workbench and run Dpaint from the CLI. This frees up enough chip ram to run a 16 color hi-res screen. Deluxe Photolab always lets me bring up a hi-res screen without the above mentioned tricks. Something about the way it manages chip ram. I bought it because it lets me do 1280x1600 hi-res pictures which when printed out on the LJ250 pixel for pixel give an extremely hires picture with barely perceptible jaggies - but that's another subject. As far as bleeding is concerned, you're going to get that to a degree no matter what you do. Making sure all titles are outlined in black reduces bleeding as much as possible. Also keep the color sliders at 12 or below in the palette. Faded colors are also a fact of life. Some genlocks are better than others, but none give you the brilliance of the RGB signal. You just have to learn which colors look good and use them. I hope this helps. | |||||
