VideoStudio :: Entering Special Characters With Alt-xxx Into Titles?
Apr 28, 2011
It seems that I cannot enter a special character into the text of a title with Alt-0xxx, even though this works with just about all other Windows applications. Is this a feature or a bug? Or is there a way to do this that I'm unaware of?
For the moment I'm entering the special characters into a text editor, then copying and pasting them into the title, which works, but is awkward. I don't understand why VideoStudio doesn't let me enter the characters directly.
The characters in question are things like typographic quotes, some accented characters, bugs like copyright and registered trademark, and other things that are not unusual to need to use in a title.
when I used VS 10 and VS 11, I was able to enter special characters in Titles (captions) by pressing [alt] and the special character number. For example, when I need a ñ (n with a tilde on top, found in Spanish words), I pressed [alt] and 164 at the same time. However with VS X2, it does not work and I could not enter special characters in Titles. is this no longer available in VS X2 or I did something wrong in the settings/configuration of VS 12?
I've exported the ePub file from InDesign CC and found some special characters are looks as box i.e., as junk. But while unzip the ePub and open the particular XHTML in internet explore, it displays fine.
I've been wanting to upgrade to CS6 but have one issue that is preventing me from using it exclusively during testing that did not occur in CS5.
When typing special characters the formatting jumps all over the place and the speical characters end up at the end of text and not where I typed them.
I'm experiencing a very bizarre problem in CS with a font special character. I used Extensis Suitcase to examine all the font characters for a particular font that I'm using on a project. The character mapping shows the key combination for the character I want is (on a Mac) Option/Alt + Z.
This works in every other application on my computer, including my email application, but for some reason, within CS it brings up the Omega character. Any idea why this happens and how I change it? I even tried to type the character in Word and cut and paste it into Photoshop and it changes! What gives?
I want to type in gimp(using text tool) with some special characters from my native language like(ā, ē, č, ķ, ģ). If i try to do it in gimp I get á, é, ć, ḱ, ǵ. Are there some settings or plugins that allow me to type these non-English characters like I do it usually.
As everybody know copy/paste excel file into an inventor drawing is sometimes difficult. As you can see in the printscreen a special character is not converted. I supposed it's because this special character is not in the AIGDT or is in the extended character set wich is not considered in Inventor?
Windows 7; Photoshop 13 (CS6).I am typing some text in a new layer; no problem so far. I need to insert some special characters that are not on the keyboard, e.g.TōkaiThat also was not a problem; I copied the character from the Windows Character Map.
Now I want to copy/paste more special characters from the Character Map, e.g. ☏ (U+260F) or ✉ (U+2709)
Now all of a sudden this does not work; the pasted characters appear in Photoshop as a boxed X.The font I have been using was Arial, but when I pasted these Unicode characters, the font automatically changed to Myriad Pro. Changing the font back to Arial does not alter the boxed X.
I took these Unicode characters from the Character Map using font Arial Unicode MS. That font does not appear in Photoshop.Questions:are there any Unicode fonts available in Photoshop?is there any other way to paste such characters into Photoshop?
Is there a way to find and/or replace "very" special characters like [carriage return], [backspace] or even [tab mark], considering that the first thing that comes to mind when saying special characters is the standard and extended ASCII only.
I'm trying to write a simple Custom Command that sets any layer that matches "$-*" to a specific color. But as soon as AutoCAD sees the $, it thinks I'm trying to do a DIESEL expression. Supposedly, the quote marks specify that the enclosed characters should be treated as plain text, but that doesn't happen.Here's what I've got:
^C^C-LAYER;C;252;"$-*";;
And this is what I get:
Command: -LAYERCurrent layer: "$-HATCH-00-002-PW-BOAT"Enter an option [?/Make/Set/New/Rename/ON/OFF/Color/Ltype/LWeight/MATerial/Plot/Freeze/Thaw/LOck/Unlock/stAte/Description/rEconcile]: CNew color [Truecolor/COlorbook] : 252Enter name list of layer(s) for color 252 <$-HATCH-00-002-PW-BOAT>: "No matching layer names found.Enter an option [?/Make/Set/New/Rename/ON/OFF/Color/Ltype/LWeight/MATerial/Plot/Freeze/Thaw/LOck/Unlock/stAte/Description/rEconcile]: It stops, hanging at the incompleted -LAYER command prompt.
I'm running into an issue when conducting an XML Merge.The situation:
- Document has been structured using tags so that it could be exported to XML - The XML document was then translated by professional translators into Russian from English - All XML tags in English/Russian version are the same, no XML has changed - XML Merge is conducted and all content is placed into the the InDesign document and the English/Russian content both has the proper tags selected - Russian content however, does not include any special characters such as line breaks, or spaces. This is causing Paragraph Styles to be wrong, and essentially the whole document is formatted incorrectly
The Question:
- How can you include special/hidden characters such as line breaks into the original XML Export? I keep getting the error "Content contains characters that can not be encoded" - If line breaks are included and are inserted into XML, when I conduct the XML Merge will InDesign recognize these codes/characters that are between the XML Tags?
I use several scripts in Illustrator. Some of them I use in this way: [URL] ....
Now I tried to built in two other scripts in the palette. In this scripts it is required to use special characters in variables. Standalone these scripts are work correct. Here is an simple example:
// exampleScript.jsx var a = 'u201d'+" example "+'u201d'; alert(a)
I get this (correct) result:
But when I call this example script with bridge talk:
var scriptToLoad = new File(pathToScript + "/exampleScript.jsx"); var win = new Window('palette', 'own palette'); var btnSelect = win.add('button', undefined, 'example'); [Code] .....
of Adobe Photoshop v6.0.1 (quite old, I know, but it do all I want and on my old HW I did not plan/want to use any more recent version, because they are HUGE and with just a little preferences trick, I did not need to reinstall my PS - ever ), yet as Czech user, I need my software to type some special characters as well. These are looking like this:
[URL]...
Now the only problem is, that some of them PS just refuse to type. Seven small and seven caps are just wrong. See the line "for PS:"...
I battled the problem even by editing the fonts itsels, because that seems to work with Adobe Illustrator, yet this also cause the edited fonts to be useless in another programs. So I looked deeply and in the Adobe settings in directory Fonts / Reqrd are directory CMaps and perhaps editing the character map used will be better and usable solution? how to do it or even determine with file from the 96 files in the CMaps directory are right now used by Adobe Photoshop?
i have line in the drawing that exists on layer A-Wall it has different lineweight 0.05 from true wall. Now usually my routine : i select this line and then select similar to convert it to layer glazing.
i need lisp that by one command convert the objects on layer A-wall with layer 0.05 only to glazing.
I had a pc crash and am reloading all my old programs including VS 4. I found everything except a couple effect. One was a crown that could be adjusted and placed on a head, another was a wand that went across the screen with sparkling bits, another had butterflies, etc.
I am pulling myhair out here HAve just purchased X5 and having fun playing with it BUT I cannot figure out how to put a title on a chapter. If I add a chapter it will come up with the thumbnail and the time under it But unlike the earlier versions where you could simple change the title and thumbnail to what you want X5 seems to have hidden this feature very well.
on the overview download page on VS pro x3, i see there are a few title packages (and fonts + and styles) i can download , but when I click "now download" it goes back to the normal screen where i can edit videos. other title and fonts i can use after downloading some dont. maybe there in some sort of cache or so because i think to remember that i used to download it once but tried to install a few at the same time and this don't function. and the next start of VS pro x3 a screen pops up with some things(i think the titles) and i don't know what i have clicked.
as there any way to use this title package/font package/style package?
I've needed to insert special characters & JPGs in title text a few times and haven't found a method. The typical word processing stuff doesn't work: Combining half marks; Combining diacritical marks; Typing special characters (Unicode Standard) even when assigned to custom keys.
In Hawaiian, I need to use a glottal stop (upside down, mirror image apostrophe) and a standard macron over an "I" (hard to find in any language) to be correct. I don't think I'll find an Hawaiian keyboard. Changing languages doesn't work either because the restriction is; availability of keyboard characters.
I've used VS11+ for making DVD's quite a long time. However, I've just made a DVD with a menu and it gets stuck between titles. This is weird because I've used the titles in other productions without fail. Where do I start to fix this? Shift them around? Delete them then re-add?
Why are my titles in my project always off center to the point some words are even off the screen when I try and save a project ? I'm using Prox5 and I love the program, but I cannot save my project without the titles that I have in the project off center,over to the right. I did manage to save my project as a MP4 Hd format and it was fine, when it comes to the titles,but of course the quality isn't as good. I want to save it as AVCHD or Blu-ray. The video files I have in my project are all MTS files.
I'm still new to the program and I'm wondering, is there any way to just put normal text in your video, not use the flashy title text that I can only find?
I've been using VS pro X2, but since getting Win 7 I got X3 for stability. This is the first time I've actually used it for a new video. Yesterday I had all of my titles available to me in X3, and was making a new video with them. After unsuccessfully attempting to open an X2 file (for some reason NONE of my X2 files will open in X3, VERY frustrating) for comparison, I opened X2 after closing X3. When I went in to open X3 again, ALL but 2 of my titles are now gone, and I only have 3 transitions (I have about 15 or so in X2). Where are all my effects and titles?
I'm moving over from Pinnacle Studio 15, and so far I like what I'm seeing with VS. The preview pane is MUCH better for editing Hi Def video than what Pinnacle provides, so I may be a convert. But, in Pinnacle, it is easy to create a title, and change the background using stock photos, or your own photos for that matter. I'm having difficulty editing the titles in VS. Is there a way to change the background?
A small problem, but one I thought it can't hurt to ask about. At least on my DVD/Blu Ray player, when a DVD is stopped while playing, the tv monitor's screen reverts to a home page that lists the name(s) of the movies on the inserted DVD. So if the DVD is Star Wars, the screen will display something like "Star Wars: the Movie" and "Star Wars: Additional Content," which represents the two titles the player recognizes from the inserted disk. (Note that this is not the DVD menu, but something the player is reading from the disk prior to launching DVD.) When the inserted DVD has been created by Video Studio Pro X6 and is then stopped, if there are, say, two film clips on the DVD, the screen displays Just the words "Title 1" and "Title 2".
My first question, then, is whether VS Pro X6 allows me to give the clips actual titles, say "The Zoo," and "The Park," so that these titles, rather than the generic "Title 1" and "Title 2" will display when the DVD is stopped.
My second question is whether VS Pro X6 allows me to issue instructions so that when "The Zoo" or "The Park" (or for that matter "Title One" or "Title 2") is selected from the player, that the DVD's menu will come up rather than the selected clip. (This question is even less important than the first, but while I'm on the topic, thought I'd ask; I have adjusted the settings so that a finished clip is followed by the DVD menu, but I'd like to be able to launch the menu from the player without removing and replacing the disk or starting a clip and then interrupting it by selecting Menu.)
I'm running VS11+ with all three patches/updates. I just made a beautiful Bluray HDV project with m2t files. However, I've noticed when making a DVD with SD clips, VS plays the first title, it skips the second title and goes to halfway in to the third as if nothing was wrong. The preview shows and plays the clips properly. It's only when making the final folders/image that it goofs. It doesn't matter what mpg I put into the second slot. It's always skipped. I've removed the second clip and saved then re-imported. It's always the same. I didn't see anything on a search about skipping titles. I'm fairly amazed it didn't work with SD. I've even popped them in 2 other authoring programs and they all work fine....just not VS11+.
