Weaving video clips together and creating compelling intros, transitions and final credits is easy using Boris Graffiti 5.3. With its sophisticated title animations, including type-on-text, text on a path, jitter and randomization as well as the ability to create 3D text with bump maps and reflections, Boris Graffiti enables anyone to add Hollywood flare to their video productions.

• Bonus FREE WinZip® Pro download – File compression, sharing, encryption and backup:
Zip and unzip files, share data and protect your work. WinZip Pro delivers fast file compression/decompression, a streamlined design and significant new file sharing functionality.
