Text Generation Wizard

Text Generation Wizard is the original plug-in for Vegas Pro software that can automate creating text events. It is designed to generate various titles, labels, countdown timers and so forth. For example, it can generate titles from regions or create open captions (also known as hard subtitles) from closed captions.

Consider the following scenario: You have created a slideshow project with hundreds of photos. Now you need to quickly label each image in a slideshow. Previously this required manually creating text media and entering the text. As you can imagine this is a very tedious and time-consuming process. Now this can be accomplished with a few clicks!

The tool generates regular text events with already embedded text, so you don't have to edit each event. The appearance of text depends on the selected preset. You are free to use one of the predefined Vegas presets or create a new one.

Also it allows you to create various kinds of counters. The user may decide whether the counter counts up or down, choose among different formats, select the value to start from, the speed of the counter or the interval between counter increments.

Titles can be generated in the following ways:

• At Markers / Regions: Generates titles at markers, regions or closed captions. Now the task of creating hard subtitles is trivial!
• At Events: This function makes labeling your clips easy and efficient. The following event properties can be used for titling:
  • Event Name
  • Media Comment
  • Media Name
  • Tape Name
  • Video Capture Comment
  • Recorded Date/Time
• Import Subtitles / Text: The real power of this tool is the ability to import subtitles or text from external files. The following formats are supported:
  • DVD Architect Subtitles (SUB)
  • YouTube Subtitles (SBV)
  • SubRip Subtitles (SRT)
  • Comma Separated Values (CSV)
  • Tab Separated Values (TSV)
• Counter: This function provides an easy way to add a video counter/time stamps to footages. It generates sequential numbers in different formats, such as decimal number, dates, and timecode. You can use this function to create counters of various kinds.
