airport text 1.0

airport text 1.0 is created to be an easy-to-use and creative plug-in which shows off everything that a title plug-in should be able to do, but currently doesn't. The effect is rather lame (it mimics the old airport displays constructed from arrays of flip-over letters)

The biggest problem (still) have with this plug-in is that it shows iMovie's shortcomings rather prominently (which is a shame, really, since iMovie is an incredibly cool program). iMovie's user interface for titles is not well thought-out, and haphazardly programmed.

They feel lucky that it works at all, and many inconsistencies (e.g. you must click on a control after changing the text, or the plug-in won't be passed the new text) are definitely something can't be controlled.

Vendors still have some reservations regarding Apple's user interface for titles (which really don't like), and might opt to revert to creating pure effects. until then, enjoy the plug-in!
