ever use 3d studio max for 3d and 2d titling? does it look good? a friend of mine is offering to do some titling for me in exchange for a credit.. thats fine with me.. as long as it can look good.. im assuming i can easily just key out the background color to composite the titles onto live active assuming i dont use a key color thats visible in the live action... correct?thanks to all.. - eddie - |

if it's an animated title, sure, because of course, you can get all the 3d in the background and the whatnot.if it's just the motionless title, you can do the same in photoshop.  |

if you use ps for titling, NEVER key it out (same with max) leave the background empty, and use a format supporting alpha-channels. a lot better then keyed. jfyi |

An alpha channel will remove anything that was not an object when rendered .
So if you leave the backround blank and only have your text object , when in after effects or any other compsiting program , if you load the alpha channel ( that is rendered as a buffer when you first rendered your title ) it will leave a clean cut layer with only your text object being visible .i'm pretty sure , thats about it .
Oh and Targa is a format that supports alpha maps ( i'm pretty sure )
