Boris Title Toolkit is a dynamic text plug-in for Adobe After Effects. It allows users to create customizable and animated text designs with ease.
I recently had the chance to try out Boris Title Toolkit, a software that expands the capabilities of Adobe After Effects when it comes to text editing. The tool offers a wide range of sophisticated text styles that can be created and applied right in AE, making it a perfect choice for those who want to enhance their titling skills.
With Boris Title Toolkit, multiple strokes per style, soft strokes, bevel, and radial style strokes for 3D looks are all available. Additionally, gradient fills are provided, including linear gradients for highlight effects, bevel and contour gradients for embossed 3D looks, and radial gradients. You'll have separate control of stroke and fill opacity, style-based drop shadows, including soft drop shadows, depth shadows, and perspective shadows for 3D looks, and page formatting features like tabs and word wrap.
Another impressive feature is the title toolkitRTF (rich text format) document import that preserves formatting by returns and tabs, and text attributes such as font, point size, text color, bold, and italics. The software also makes it easy to create automated title rolls and crawls conveniently.
Boris Title Toolkit also allows you to use vector shape objects as text backdrops or design elements, including animatable shape primitives as well as support for using an AE mask path to define the shape. The text plugins also offer easy-to-use "Type On" and "Text On Path" effects, as well as powerful randomizing and jittering text characters, or even randomizing text styles and fonts.
The only requirements for Boris Title Toolkit are Adobe After Effects 5.5 or later. There is a 14-day trial period; however, the software limits you in any way during those 14 days.
In conclusion, I would highly recommend Boris Title Toolkit to anyone looking to improve their titling skills. The tool offers a wide range of features that are easy to use, and its ability to preserve formatting and automate title rolls and crawls make it a top choice.
