Queston: I’m thinking of getting Titler Pro, what kind of system do I need?
Answer: There are a few things you should consider when purchasing and installing Titler Pro. First, we highly recommend that you updated your video card drivers. Depending on your video card, you can download the latest drivers from one of these sites:
Question: Where can I get Titler Pro?
Answer: Titler Pro comes bundled with Sony Vegas Pro 11 but soon you’ll be able to purchase Titler Pro for other NLEs.
If you’ve purchased or upgraded to Sony Vegas Pro 11, your product would have come with an activation key for NewBlue Titler Pro. You’ll be able to download the Titler Pro installation file at www.newbluefx.com/so/sonytitlerpro/.
If you are looking to purchase a full copy of Titler Pro from NewBlue you’ll be happy to know that we’re releasing a version of Titler Pro for all the major NLEs. Simply sign up on www.newbluefx.com/so/titler-pro-demo/ and we’ll send an email once Titler Pro is available (late 2011).
Question: How do I create Stereoscopic titles in Sony Vegas Pro 11?
Answer: For your Vegas project, go to ’File’ - ‘Properties’. Once you are in ‘Properties’, choose the ‘Stereoscopic 3D’ mode that you desire and click ‘Okay’. Your Vegas project is now ready for 3D. Now, go to the ‘Video FX’ library, find ‘NewBlue Titler Pro’ and apply it to your desired event. Any movements you make through keyframing or animations with ‘Position Z’ will be in 3D.

Question: Does Titler Pro have presets and templates?
Answer: Titler Pro currently has 50 styles and 40 templates with more to be added. You can find style and template presets in the library tab under Styles and Templates respectively. In addition, the Titler Pro comes with a set of free sample effects and transitions to use on your titles.
Question: If I’m switching from one video editor (NLE) to another, can I bring my effects with me?
Answer: Recently many editors have been switching NLE hosts. NewBlueFX works with several NLEs and chances are that if you’re switching to a new host, you’ll be able to bring all your favorite NewBlue plugins along with you. Simply run the installer (if you need to download the installation file again please visit www.newbluefx.com/downloads), select the new NLE, and hit continue. If you are installing on the same computer as your previous NLE, you won’t even need to re-enter your serial, your copies should already be activated for the computer.
If your new NLE uses a different operating system, a new license will be required. See here for more details on using multiple operating systems.
For help finding your effects by video editor see our previous Q&A for Where can I find your effects in my video editor.
Please note that while we are currently working on an update, our plugins are not yet compatible with Final Cut Pro X. We’ll send an update notification via our Storyboard Newsletter and blog once FCPX is compatible.
