Is there a way to open up a color chart/wheel where you see the actual colors instead of having to slide three sliders around trying to find the right color or gradient? To me that would be so much easier. If not, could that be an option in a future upgrade?
Interesting. I tried that and what I get is an X & Y axis with a bright GREEN arrow pointing up and a bright RED arrow pointing right. Is that what I should be seeing ?
What I was looking for was something like a color-wheel where you could drag your cursor around on until you see the color/hue you like without having to adjust 3 different sliders.

That's F2.
F2 displays the coordinate system.
F3 displays the colour dialog.
Make sure the active property is a colour property before pressing F3. For example, the COLOUR property of the text layer.

Aha ! That's exactly what I was looking for, however, I can drag my cursor around on it and see the color changing in the side bar but it doesn't want to change the colors of my text. I have my text layer selected with the color option but when I hit OK my text stays at the default of white.

Oh, I see that I have to click on one of the 'colored' boxes first and then drag the cursor around to get the color I want and then when I hit OK the text changes color. I was trying to change colors with it defaulted with the white box selected.

I'm learning more .... I see now that the problem was where the hue selection bar was located, all the way to the top where it's just white. This is going to make things easier. Thanks for the tip.

Vincent,
Thank you so much for the FireFox Download Helper tip and also the demo of how you made the closing iris. I would have never figured that something like that could be done with Blufftitler. Actually I was also curious as to how you made the vault door with the moving parts.
Your whole project gave me an idea for a great INTRO and OUTRO. For an INTRO It would be neat to start out with the vault door closed, turn some handles (or dials), have the door open and see video thumbnails floating around and then have one fly out to then fade away to start your video. For an OUTRO the processed would be reversed and the door would close and 'locked'. Do you think something like that could be created?

MrGruntHunter, all is possible, you can imagine all sort of turning handles using (EPS, revolved fonts or free models). For flying thumbnails you can use BluffTitler slideshow tool. Tell me if you need more help, i could send you a startup project.

WOW ! Vincent, Where did you find that BluffTitler Slideshow tool ? That is awesome. Now I have something else to figure out how to use ha ha ha.
I sure appreciate your offer to help me. I'll send you a PM with my idea of what I would like to create and now that I see this BT Slideshow tool I suspect it's going to be part of it. Creating the opening and closing vault door is what I am struggling with right now.
