how I can seperate the underline line in the text editor from the text? I can make the line thicker but place the line. I thought that there maybe an expression that controls the placement of the line.
View 2 RepliesI'm getting a weird underline placement on SuperScript text. It should be right up under the "99". Can't change it, even if I use the Node Edit tool.
View 12 Replies View Relateda) is it possible to change the default font that gets activated for a project or sequence? Every time we add a title it defaults to "Discreet" - it would be good if it learns from past changes at least for the sequence.
b) it would be good if the default font color changes to a color that contrasts with the background when starting to type. E.g. we had a rather white scene, started typing and no text ever showed up. I then had to go back to the full text editor, change the color etc.
c) moving the color sliders in the color selector manually without a Wacom seems to slow by default. It takes forever to move to a brighter color. And using the picker is cumbersome (we do that as a work-around instead of moving the slider). The OK button for the color sliders is not very visible, sometimes leading to us clicking away without saving the newly selected color by accident.

View 9 Replies View RelatedWhat exactly should I click to view Channel editor full screen or in a resizable view port?
Currently it is displayed at the bottom put of the UI only and it is not possible to do anything on such a small view of the editor....
Brian Mulligan wrote in this blog:"If you hold SHIFT and double-click in a numeric field that has a keyframe set, then the Channel Editor will open up full screen at the top of the UI and switch to 1 up view. The numeric field you clicked on will be highlighted and framed."
Where is "numeric field that has a keyframe set" actually located?
When I shift and double-click on the numeric field in "Channel hierarchy" (on the left of the Animation curve window) a CALCULATOR pops up.
Why is there a difference between the text from the soft fx and the text in action? If you look at the attached picture, the 3 lines look slightly different although they shouldn't. The first line was written inside the soft fx.
The second line, with an ugly outline, is the 3D text, and although it's the same font, it looks thinner here.
And the third line, which I think looks a little too soft, is with AA turned on in action.
So why can't I achieve the same look in action, as in the text soft fx?

I have a video layer in Action with a ring of text orbiting around it. Unfortunately the text is not disappearing behind the video layer on the backside of the ring.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have composed a scene in action that contains 3d text with a reflection layer. I animated the reflection to keep the part of the image that I want to appear on the letters in view. Everything looks ok when I step through in action or click preview, but comes out wrong when I render.
It looks like there may be some sort of timing issue, so I've checked for slip and TW problems and found none. I've also checked for transitions on other axes that might cause a problem and see none. Is this a bug?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have two questions on animating 2D text. First, is there a way to randomize the actual text, as you can do in AE? For example, I have a string of numbers, le's say "24234" and I'd like them to change randomly over time. Second, I'd like the text to flicker on and off, but on regular intervals, such as every frame it would alternate from 0% opacity to 100% opacity. I was thinking of doing this with an expression that would simply evaluate the frame, and outout 0 or 1 depending on whether the frame is even or odd.

Is the load text "feature" not working in pre2? What Im trying to achieve:
Toolbar (the new tab) -> text/input: none -> Load -> roll down menu to "text file" -> roll down menu to "UTF-8" -> click the text file i've created using TextEdit = nothing happens.
Have i missed something very obvious or is it broken?
In TextEdit i choose to make the text "plain" so i can save it as a UTF-8 but during the load of the textfile smoke "tells me" "Cannot open"
I have a string of text that I'd like to animate in a way, that the text is already visible, and then one letter after another grows a litte and then scales back down to it's original size. The only way I would know how to do it is manually typing every letter, but that's a lot of work! So I thought, maybe there is something else (I already looked at the presets, but they didn't really work..
