Custom Torn Page Titles in the style of Veronica Mars, Updated for Vista

The UPN show Veronica Mars opens with video of the various cast members and torn notebook pages showing their names. I was inspired by a post on the Windows Movie Maker forums, to create a similar look.

Note: These titles have been designed to work with either the XP version or the Vista version of Movie Maker.

Click on the image or the link above. Run the installer (CustomTornPages) and it will install the custom XML code and the image files you'll need.

To use the new title:

Go to 'Tools' > 'Titles and Credits' > 'Title on the selected clip'.

Type the text you want to appear on the torn page.

Click on 'change the title animation'.

Under your list of one line titles should be new ones called Torn Page (Bottom) and Torn Page (Right). Pick the one you want to use.

For my example, I switched fonts to a serifed Playbill font, but you can choose any font or leave it as the default.

Click 'Done'.

Stretch the title so that it extends for the length of your clip.

Repeat as needed for each title.
