The document provides instructions for creating an animated title in Sony Vegas Pro 11. The title text is split into top and bottom halves using GIMP. Each half is given a different animation effect - the bottom half slides in from the right while the top half slides in from the left. The animations are set to pause using velocity envelopes. Additional effects like corner text and a red record button are added. A mouse click sound effect is inserted to play when the button is "clicked". The button animation is split to create an on/off click effect. Finally, the animation timing is checked to avoid extending the trailer length too long.

1. Start off by making the title in GIMP (to ensure the title has a transparent
background when creating motion.

2. Open Sony Vegas Pro 11 and split text to for
animation, revealing only the bottom half
(do the same for the top half).

3. Open the Video Media Generator and select animation for the bottom
half of the text. This side of the text will slide in from the right.

4. Do the same for the top half, this time ensuring you select the
animation ‘Slide left’.

5. Once you have done this, right click on both the bottom and top half of
the text and select ‘Insert/ Remove Envelope’ and proceed to click on
the Velocity option hat comes up.

6. Set the velocity to 0% so that the animation pauses.

7. Create the ‘capture frame’ effect for the titling by adding the ‘L’ text to
the two corners of the text.

8. Add a full stop ‘.’ for the record button effect, and colour it in red.

9. For added effect, add the button sound effect so the record button
appears to have been turned on or clicked. I found this mouse button
sound effect from www.soundbible.com is appropriate for the sound
effect.

10. Open and audio track in order to insert this sound effect as audio media.

11. Split the cell of the red button so that it has a click/ on and off effect when it plays back.

12. Ensure animation is of a reasonable timing so it doesn’t extend the trailer time for too long.
