Hi!
Another Newbie help question… I am working with SpeedEDIT on a Tricaster Model 300. I can’t figure out how to add motion to a Title Page. I followed the instructions in the manual:
Drag a Title Page icon beneath a video layer in your timeline. With the CG effect selected, set the other SpeedEDIT window to Control Tree. There is now a Title Page set of controls in Control Tree’s upper left window.

I did this, but the Title Page set of controls does not appear in the Control Tree. I looked under all of the Categories in the Control Tree (Layer Properties, Page Properties, etc.). I did not see Title Page anywhere.

As always any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I think the capitals on "Title Page" may have misled you. All of the properties in the Control Tree relate to your title page (when you click it in the Timeline or Storyboard). The Page Properties properties can be used to animate an entire page - set keyframes for Position, Size, Rotation etc. to do that. As you add objects to the page, they can be individually keyframed in similar fashion (a new group appears in the tree for each object you add).

The Layer Properties can do much the same thing as Page Properties, but offer even more options, including shadows, etc.

Pretty much anything can be keyframed.
