Well, the titles aren't TOO impressive, but there is a rather nice PD program called TitleGen. It's on the Fish Disks somewhere, don't remember which one. (It's somewhere between 1 and 300. :^) Anyway, you make a text script file with the text to display, color, speed of scroll, and other neat things, and choose the font and size when you run it. The only thing it doesn't do is interlacing. (Oh well.) The author does ask for a slight donation, but nothing that any commercial guy would ask for. I don't have a genlock, so I haven't actually tested it yet, but it's easy to use--and cheap. Good luck!
