Heroglyph

Heroglyph is an excellent program with a great variety of special effects that you can apply to a video.

Its principal use is to insert titles and animated text.

For example, with Heroglyph you can achieve a similar effect to that of the opening crawl text in the Star Wars saga.

Its features aren't limited to the textual; you can also create presentations using two or more videos simultaneously, combine text and images, and even generate animations that imitate handwriting.
