Hello friends,
The question is regarding Colour Shades on a Title.


When I want to write an alphabet say A in Green colour, how do I maintain different shades of Green on A.

For reference of what do I mean by shade, here is an attachment (Just check the shades of green on the object).

I think I understand what you want, but that is not something that is within the Movie Edit Pro for text. At least, nothing I have ever discovered.

I think the best I can do in Movie Edit Pro is have text gradually change color one character at a time, thus in this case, different shades of green. 

If your version of Movie Edit Pro came with the Photo Designer program, you can do a gradient on something, so you could make text in that program, and save it as a .jpeg or .bmp to use inside the Movie Edit Pro

I think this is what you are after. If it is, then I can try to demonstrate how I achieved this effect, but I am not sure how well it will apply to a movie project. This text above, on a white background is a .jpeg file. This means that Movie Edit Pro would recognize this as a photo object not text.

I hope this helps.

I'd suggest trying something like:

Track 1-- The background video clip

Track 2 -- Your standard MEP title, with 'Video Effects' >> 'Chroma key' >> 'Alpha' applied

Track 3 -- A jpeg etc of a plain field of green shades using a gradient in a photo editor. (I used some of your sample pic)

Hey Anirban,

We have two streams going here on the same topic.  You seem to have posted the same question twice so you have people answering the same question on two different posts.  Not really good for consistency of the thread.
