I'm trying to do some simple text animations that I can put into Ulead DVD workshop 2 and use as headers. I have made a little home movie, complete w/ menus(via Ulead DVD Workshop 2). However, Workshop 2 doesn't have any sort of text animations(fade in/out etc..). I know TMPGenc DVD Author can do this, but it doesn't have the navigational capabilities that Workshop has. And since the programs can't work together...

I am left with this, trying to find a stand alone text animator that has simple preset animations(Fade in/out, dissolve, swipe) stuff like that. It needs to be able to save a transparent bground, so that it doesn't have a different background then the menu. I dunno, I may just be out of luck.

The only thing I can think of is just to do image sequences in ImageReady w/ the transparency. But that can take forever for something so simple and will limit me, as i'm not experianced in animation at all.
