Hello to all interested in using xara to do some title work in video, particularly Adobe Premiere 1.5 and greater. Premiere now has the ability to work directly from a vector image for titlework. There are several issues with video/adobe/xara when it comes to layout. Basically the sizing is diffrent between all 3. Xara works on 96DPI, AI works on 72 DPI and Premiere converts 72DPI AI to bitmap at a .9 ratio.
To make a very long and boring story short. Laying out title work can be a real pain. I have worked out the bugs and developed a template where all you need to do, is drop your title work in the template, save it as an AI and then import that directly into Premiere. then tell premire that it is a .9 aspect ratio video clip and it is sized perfectly.
Any question and I will try to answer them. I have blundered my way through many points, so I just might help some of you if you need it.
