Many new improvements have been made to the user interface of Graffiti. User customizable quick key buttons in the timeline, new machine controls in the composite window, magnetic and sticky windows, a non-modal options palette and a tabbed interface for the controls window eases title effects creation.
Scalable vector art can now be imported directly into Graffiti. Users can add, delete or modify the original spline points right within the Graffiti interface and the result can be extruded and animated in 3D space. The advantage to working with scalable vector art is that unlike raster art which is pixel based, vector art never suffers a loss in quality when it is resize or scaled. Most company logos are generated in this format.
16 Bit deep-color provides the user with the ability to generate smoother gradients and more precise color correction via an expanded color palette, which expands the available color gamut from 16 million in 8 bit color to trillions of colors. The result is that gradients are far less prone to mach banding or color stepping. 16 bit color in Graffiti is host dependent and will only work in hosts that support this feature, such as Avid systems.
A brand new fully searchable electronic help reference system has been added to Graffiti, meaning that you spend more time creating effects and less time figuring out how to do it.
The original filter effects in Graffiti have all been replaced with the more powerful filters from the Boris Continuum Complete package and the number of effects filters that ship with Graffiti 5 has been increased to a total of 35. The list of filter effects includes radial blurs, particles, glows, distortions and procedural generators such as snow, rain and clouds.
Several filters from the Final Effects Complete package have been included with this latest release of Graffiti. Use FEC Hair to make text appear to grow hair along the edges of the title, or FEC Drizzle to make the title appear as though it was reflected in a puddle of rain. FEC Glass can be used to make text appear to have been cut from glass.
Now you can generated keyframed effects right within the composite window, without the need to see the master timeline. Select an element in the composite window by clicking on it and the keyframes associated with that object appear in the mini timeline included in the composite window. Keyframes can be added and directly manipulated right in the mini timeline.
Users of Sony vegas 7 will now be able to use Graffiti as a static title generator, meaning less rendering and faster title generation.
Industry effects guru Steve Oakley, a long time Boris advocate and digital effects compositor / editor, has contributed dozens of new keyframed effects which are included in the Graffiti Library Browser.
