    plug-in character generators are third party programs which can be used with dpsvelocity to create various types of rolling, crawling and still titles.

    dpsvelocity works with inscriber cg and the title motion pack from image north, among others.

    installing the plug-ins

    launch the installer for your plug-in. the installer may ask where you would like the plug-in placed. change the default path to point to the dpsvelocity\plugins directory,.or for inscriber, to the dpsvelocity\cg directory.

    once the installation is complete, use the windows explorer to view the contents of the "plugins" directory. the directory will contain some new files ending with the prm and 8bf extensions.

    in some instances, there there are no such files, but there will be new directories created by the installer. in this case the files may reside within one of the new directories. they must be moved to the "plugins" directory.

    accessing installed plug-ins

    depending on the support and plug-in type, you will see it appear in one of three areas of dpsvelocity.

    character generators can be accessed from the right-click floating menu of the gallery.

    custom transitions and some title generators are available on the right-click menu of timeline transitions. a new item called "plugin transitions" appears under "rendered transitions".

    custom filters are available from within the apply fx dialog box. the drop-down list under "filter categories" has additional plug-in filters. the individual filters can be selected from the "available filters" list.

    if your plug-in does not appear in any of these three areas, it may mean that velocity does not support your plug-in. this does not necessarily mean that you can not use this plug-in. you may have to use it as a stand-alone product, and then import titles or video as still image files or image sequences into the gallery.
