Hey guys, welcome back to another HitFilm tutorial. Today we’re going to take a look
at how we created the title sequence in our IT short. You can download the project files
in the description so let's go ahead and get started.
Compared to other title tutorials we’ve done on this channel, this one is pretty simple.
It’s more about getting the right font than having a bunch of complex layers. The two
fonts I’ll use can be found in the description.
Create a composite shot from the Media panel if you haven’t already. Now create a new
text layer as well. Customize the font and size in the Text panel. Scale it up to the
right size and change it to red. Add a Fractal Noise effect to this layer.
In the Controls panel, change the type to Fluid. In the Transform section, lower the
Scale until you get the right amount of texture.
Down in the Appearance section, change the Blend to Multiply. This will overlay the darkness
of the Fractal Noise onto the red color of the text. Adjust the Exposure and Offset to
your liking. If you'd like the fractal noise to have some movement, you can keyframe the
seed property.
Now we’ll add a Glow effect or two. Lower the Threshold if you don’t see an effect,
and adjust the Intensity and Radius to fit your scene.
Next up is the subtitle, which is pretty much exactly the same. Create a new text layer
and type the title. Customize the font and size in the text panel. Add Fractal Noise,
but this time change the two colors in the Appearance section. One is a pale blue and
the other is light orange. Once again, add a slight glow effect.
For the background I’ll bring in a picture of grunge, and tint it red with the Hue Colorize
effect. In this case, all I need to do is raise the Saturation to get that result.
Next I’ll add a Vignette. Raise the Softness and the Curvature, and position it above the
screen so that only the top of the texture is visible. I’ll also lower the Width slightly.
Now drag the Snow preset of the particle simulator onto the timeline. In the Controls panel,
search for Particles per Second and lower that value. Then search for Color and change
it to red. Turn on Motion Blur for the layer and then, if you need them to be more visible,
raise the Alpha Boost property.
We've got more IT tutorials coming over the next few weeks. If you missed the short, you
