Adding Text or Title Screens to Animations

Unless text is specifically converted into a 3D object (using the Convert Text to Polylines command), the Vectorworks program views text as 2D. This means text in a drawing exported as a movie remains motionless, not moving with the other 3D objects. This principle is also true for any graphic images placed in the drawing.

The Vectorworks program can be used to create an animated title screen as a separate movie, using an orbit point animation to move the 2D text. (The move along path animator requires 3D perspective projection.) Then, using a third-party video editor, link the two files together to create one movie.

When creating a title screen animation, ensure that the title movie uses the same frame rate setting as the linked animation movie.
