MathText Usage

A generator for displaying equations using LaTeX-style notation. It does not implement all LaTeX features.

Basic usage

  1. Follow the installation. MathText has embedded fonts.
  2. On the Edit page, drag MathText from Effects → Titles onto a track above your footage.
  3. Enter an expression in the Inspector's Formula field, for example \frac{1}{2}.
  4. Adjust Size, then use Position X / Position Y to place the equation.
  5. Set the main color with Base Color under Appearance.
  6. Use WriteProgress under Write Animation to add an entrance animation.
  7. In Fusion, add MathText using Shift + Space. Connect it to MediaOut for standalone output, or to Merge to composite it over footage.

Formula examples
