Create Animated Handwritten Titles in Lumafusion

Creating animations on the iPad is very limited. There is no app available that comes close to After effects. Luckily, the ipad has a great accessory known as the Apple Pencil. 

This accessory allows us to create handwritten animated titles with ease. let me show you how.

Start by opening settings, head to control centre and click customise controls. Here you will need to add screen recording. 

Now we need to open up a drawing application. I use Sketch as it was a free download on the App Store and it is perfect for this task. 

Open up your drawing app and start screen your screen recording. 

We’ll first need to set the background colour to a bright green, this is important for a later step. 

Next select your drawing tool and set the colour to white, now you can start writing your titles. 

Once you are satisfied with your title, end the recording. 

Once you have done this, open up Lumafusion and import the titles over the top of your footage. Double tap on the footage, and then you can begin cropping out the drawing tools of your app, resizing, and placing your title where you want it on the screen. 

Next, we’ll head over to the effects panel and then click on the keying effects tab. We’ll select green screen key and then it is down to you to adjust the settings to what you think looks best. Once you have the effect you are looking for, you are all done. 

You may wish to speed up the titles by using the speed tools and you can also reverse it using the same tool. 

This is one very easy way to get professional and personal looking titles easily with an iPad and Lumafusion.
