Hi -

We are looking for a program that will make titles on an SGI Personal Iris
for videos.  Something similar to "slides" would be best, but unlike "slides"
we need it to be able to have variable-sized windows and use the font manager.
Also nice would be the capability of having the background being something
other than one solid color - though I realize the complications this would
add for doing fade ins/outs.

Is there software like this already written?  Is there a newer version of
"slides" that will do some of this?  Thought I better find out before I
write a lot of software...

Thanks for any info,
Jeff
