The Benefits of Boris Title Toolkit

Produce high-quality, animatable titles quickly.

Animation
The Boris Title Toolkit delivers fully animatable titles in Adobe After Effects using a comprehensive selection of styles and text paths. You can use After Effects parameters for direct manipulation, synchronizing to third party elements such as audio and effect elements in your composition.

Quality
Vector rendering provides film-quality text styles with scaling and rotation in 3D space. Precisely control text appearance, placement, and movement over time.

Workflow
As an After Effects user, you can work quickly and efficiently in a familiar environment. Manipulate After Effects controls directly and work within the Effect Controls and Timeline windows. The Boris Text window, Gradient Editor and Style Palette are integrated to enable quick access to Title Toolkit's versatile text style and page layout features. Since the workflow is non-destructive, text characters, style, and layout can be changed at any time without losing style or animation.

Text Window - The Text window enables text entry and controls for adjusting text style elements including Fill, Borders and Shadows. It also provides controls for word wrap, setting tabs, page width and justification, adjusting line leading and text kerning, and importing ASCII or RTF text files. Text style options include bevel borders, gradient fills, simulated extrusion and embossing.

Style Palette - The Style Palette includes a Font Browser and provides a convenient way to save and apply custom or preset text styles, gradients, and colors (all of which can be applied on a per character basis). The text engine for the Title Toolkit provides vector-based rendering, enabling extremely high quality gradient style elements and sharp edge quality when increasing scale or zooming in on text characters.
