Don't know about the old world style. This website can create the burning text with transparent background as gif files: https://cooltext.com/Logo-Design-Glowing-Hot .

Can you point me to any resources which will help me with regards to using Power Director ?

I found some aftereffects templates, but I don't know AE, and I am looking for a simple and easy to customize power director template...one which has the opening of an old world book that looks realistic, not cheesy ? sc

In the Title Designer(click on the "T" to access this feature) you have a choice of a wide variety of fonts, Old English font might be fairly close to what you want. While in the Title Designer room, you also have a range of effects, listed alphabetically, and Glow is one of those effects. I didn't see a "burning" effect in the Title Designer effects but there is a "burning" effect in the Transitions room. Instead of dropping the title onto the "Title" track, drop it onto a video track(Video Track 2), set the wanted duration, then open the Transitions room and scroll down until you find the "burning" transition, drop it onto the beginnng and end of the title while it's on the Video Track. As far back as PD9(at a guess) or at least PD10, the extra video tracks, along with their normal use as PiP(Picture-in-Picture) tracks, could also be used as extra Title tracks, Such is Power Director's versatility to allow a track, normally used for one purpose, to be adapted for another.

I should state that I work with Power Director 14 Ultra, but you will find the same features in PD15(Delux, Ultra or Ultimate).

Hello, Grateful Guy.
I took a look inside PD and if you have the Vitascene plug-in, I think you can get the glowing rays you want, but you'll have to do some key-framing. Now to be honest I didn't experiment a whole lot on this, but it looked do-able. Try the Light Ray wipes, it looked like it has potential. A few others, too.
