NOTE: Many of the features in our products are based on customer feedback.  We are always open to suggestions for improving the products and oftentimes provide quick turnaround (less than a week) to suggestions that we agree would be useful (which are most of the suggestions- just see the dates on our Revisions page).  Please ask, even if you are just trying out the product.

TitleFactory 3.0Q and 3.0P Features Include the following:

Main Window Functions

• New Automatic Timecode Generation which is useful for situations where exact synchronization of text and voice is not required.  Given starting and ending timecode values TitleFactory 4.0 can estimate any number of intermediate timecodes, setting the starting and ending values based on the length of the corresponding text entries.

• New Search/Replace Text Function for text in the image text list on the main window.  If your director or editor want text changes and you have already timecoded your text, the new Search Function can find (and possibly replace) your text entries quickly.

• New Merge Text Function on the main window provides the ability to merge timecodes and associated text in one function.

• New Coalesce Function to adjust timecodes.  The timecodes' Starting Timecode can be automatically set to the previous timecode's Ending Timecode (or vice versa - or anything in-between).

• New Split Timecode and Split Text Functions.  This allows you to split text and timecode entries into two and automatically generate the missing timecode vallues (using the new Automatic Timecode Generation Function).

• New functions that operate on both text and timecode lists at the same time. These include:

Deselect
Delete Text and Timecode Entries
Shift Text and Timecode Entries Down
Merge Text and Timecode Entries
Split Text and Timecode Entries
Undo/Redo previous Text and Timecode Changes

Input Window Functions

• New Hexidecimal display of the text file to determine if you really have a UTF/Unicode formatted file.  Thius may also be useful to determine why some characters are not being displayed properly by your selected font.

• New additional Unicode support encoding types (e.g., UTF-16 and UTF-32)
   

Image Creation

• New horizontal character spacing in image creation.  Spacing between characters can be increased or decreased (bit by bit).

• New variable stroke widths.  The strokes (inner and outer) are longer limited to 1 pixel wide.

• Improved performance of stroking.  Much better performance than previous version.

• Support up to 10 lines per text entry.  Yes, that is 10 lines per image, or 10 lines per subtitle.  This may be useful for introductions or endings.

• New 'estimated time remaining' display when creating images.

Other Functions

• New Deactivation Function in Help menu.  The product can be moved to, and activated on, another machine.  Of course, it must first be deactivated on the current machine.

• New CMD3600 EDL (edit decision list subtitle text format).  Subtitles written in this format can be imported into a variety of Non Linear Editing Programs such as Adobe Premiere, Sony Vegas, and others.
