OK I really, really like VMS, and I can live with the titling it offers - but I find them to be a bit lacking. I want to make fun bubble letters, cursive handwriting that appears as if someone's writing it on the screen, sentences that scroll across the screen with the individual letters moving away from the sentence and disappearing one at a time, "pixie dust" fizzing across the screen and leaving letters behind, etc. etc. You get the picture.
I've seen *some* of these kinds of cool looking things in my friend's iMovie program on his Mac, and another guy I know does awesome titles, and I believe he uses something called Freehand along with FCP on his Mac. Of course, I'm looking to stick with VMS on the PC, and am not planning to spend hundreds or thousands of $$$ on a titler. (This is a hobby; I'm not a pro yet!) In fact, I'd like to get away with spending 20 bucks, or even nothing at all.
So - is there a good Freeware program out there that allows you to do some cool titling that goes beyond VMS, like I described above? (Freeware prog's like DVDShrink and PGCEdit are just the bomb - anything like that for titling?) If not, what would y'all recommend would be the best program for 30 bucks or under?
