Hi Jmone

You would need the Indiana Jones font, here's a link to Dafont for a free download:

http://www.dafont.com/adventure.font

Download and Double Click to install

In the Title Room just use this font with colour boarders, font face etc.

Happy editing Happing editing

Best Regards

If your font folder has this font then PD should allow PC specs :
OS Windows 10.0 Pro
MB - AS rock Z77 extreme 11
Intel 3770K @ 4.0 Ghz OC
Gskill 32 GB RAM 1800 Mhz
6 TB HDD, SSD bootable
nVidia ASUS GTX 660 Ti
BenQ 22" LCD monitor 1920x1080

Perfect gents (in fact turns out I'm not so original.....I wanted the font for the walk we just did to Machu Picchu which was the example used at the dafont website!).

So I've added the font and can apply it just fine and it looks great. That said I can not seem to get the font choice to "Stick" in the Template Text Editor. I can change a bit of slected font to Adventure and save the Template but when I use it (or open it back up) it is back to Arial. So each time I apply the text template I then manually change the font to Adventure on the timeline and it is OK (note, if I then try to save it back out as a template the font reverts to Arial).

Thanks

G'day Nathan -

One day I'll get there.

Using that font in PD, unfortunately, doesn't give you that Indiana Jones "zoom". Attached is one title made in PD & another made in Word Art (Word) then saved as a graphic file with a transparent background.

Re your other issue... when I saved the title as a template, it retained the Adventure font. Not sure what's happening on your PD.

Cheers - Tony

I've not a creative bone in my body, but I recon this one is close enough for my needs! It was a solid walk but nothing most could not do with a bit of prep. Once I finish some other stuff, I'll try a rebot to see if the font change will "stick" since installing it.
Thanks
Nathan

Looks good, Nathan.

Your first statement in that post is clearly untrue!
