Inscriber CG Xtreme has all the features found in CG Supreme with the addition of real-time motion effects. Now titles and graphics can move across the screen, spin rotate and skew for graphics that captivate audiences.

Overview:

Inscriber CG Xtreme is a special module that enhances the functionality of CG Supreme to include animation creation and playback. Basically, Xtreme takes the two dimensional (2D) text and graphic objects you create in the CG Editor and ‘animates’ them by flying them around in the FX Editor, a virtual three dimensional (3D) workspace.

The whole concept of 3D may be a little intimidating at first, but creating an animation is actually an easy process. The special click-and-drag functionality of the program lets you adjust almost every aspect of your animation using only the mouse and a little ingenuity. You can position, rotate, scale, or change the shape of your text and graphic objects just by selecting a tool and using the mouse to make the change.

Features:

Character Generation

CG Xtreme comes with full character generation functionality. Create text layouts and then make them move or interact with other graphic elements. CG Xtreme offers the same comprehensive, professional text tools of CG Supreme, with a large text library and powerful productivity features such as text import and advanced type manipulation utilities. The CG uses multi-layered proprietary filtering processes and includes full anti-aliasing of TrueType fonts. 3D bevelling, texturing and typing on a spline will enhance your layouts, making graphics that have a real impact on viewers.

Animation

Create captivating motion effects with CG Xtreme. CG Xtreme enables artists and video producers to create multiple-layer animations with text, logos, backgrounds, and draw objects. In addition to individual flight paths, each object in an Xtreme animation can have independent acceleration and deceleration, X, Y, Z movements in true three dimensional space, and transparency and filter effects, all of which are variable over time.

CG Xtreme's motion capabilities offer designers a myriad of options to make their layouts look amazing. Rotate, spin, skew, twist, or adjust the shape of an object at any keyframe. Rendering animations is simple and offers video ready previews for any animation you create.

Templates


CG Xtreme includes many preset templates that can be used to animate any text or graphic object. Each template sets all time, position, and shape attributes for each keyframe in the path. Templates allow you to streamline the production process. Operators can create their own animation templates and store them in the registry for ongoing use.
