I've found software to do the graphics & animation I want, and software to generate lettering in more eye-catching styles than I want to think about. However, what I don't have is a nice, simple system for generating characters that do something interesting - scroll upwards on the screen, or across the crawl space, or appear slowly in fixed positions, or other methods of making them appear. So I'm thinking about writing my own software to do these things. What I'm not sure of is what kind of features does it need? So I'm looking for input from the rec.videos & comp.sys.amiga crowd. If you use a character generator or titling system, what features from it do you like & use? What do you use, but don't like the user interface for? What features do you wish you had? If you don't use one, but would like one, what would it do? And how do you tell it to do it? Finally, if you use an Amiga with software that does some of those things, could you tell me what it is? Thanx,
