Compressor changing FONT of titles???

I'm working in HDV. The spot has numerous title cards all done in Optima Bold. Looks great. I export using Compressor to an H-264 for the web ... and the 'font' has changed slightly, no longer Optima (but I have no idea what it is.
I noticed this happening once before. That time I did another export and the 2nd time around the font was correct.
Have you ever heard of this? Any help would be most appreciated.

I have experienced this as well - I think what is happening is that when you export directly from the FCP timeline, Compressor will not interpret the DISTORT setting correctly on TEXT items. I've noticed this when exporting from Anamorphic DV sequences - the text will become squished in the resulting QT. I imagine you're seeing the same thing working in HDV.
The solution is to export a self contained quicktime, then take THAT into Compressor. OR - use a different title generator, other than the deafult FCP TEXT - do you titles in Photoshop, or I think the Boris Title 3D module will work as well.

  • Change font in title-style

    Hello! I have finished a project with many titles in it with a specific title-style. now I want to change the font in this style so that it will affect all titles in this project - how do I do it?
    By the way - will we ever have a "find and replace" function in premier?

    oded,
    Easiest way would be to create and Save a Style with your new font and any text Effects. Then, open each Title (sorry, no global replace here). Just click the text box, and then click your Style. Instant replacement, except as Harm says, "one by one."

  • Motion project to Compressor - changes font with render

    I have a project that is a simple opening title using Frutiger Black Condensed as the font (isn't everyone using Frutiger today?)
    The font is not in my user folder. It's located in the main Library Font folder. I had this issue before and it was because the font was in the User folder. You guys helped me with that one!
    The font has been validated.
    There are no duplicates.
    Motion sees the font and lets me set text to the font.
    I export it to Compressor and the Preview in Compressor shows the correct font.
    I render it using the Animation codec and the resulting QT movie has a different font.
    Rendering directly out of Motion works fine, of course, but I want to use Compressor because I want to set up several to render and walk away.
    Thanks for any help or tips.

    how very strange I had exactly the same issue today. The .mp4 export via compressor from motion had a substituted font. I didnt have too much time to explore the situation.
    the work around for me was to bring the motion project into fcp and then export it via compressor from there. Why this should be different I have no idea, but it worked.
    thanks

  • Cannot edit font on titles

    cannot change font on titles, no button in view window, no function in drop down font editor.

    I am having the same problem. I was able to do it without issue maybe two weeks ago. I guess I updated something without realizing it. Either way, I can't change the font, size, color, etc. That "show fonts" selection brings up the font dialog but nothing I do in there affects the font on my movie.
    Side question: I have a credit screen on another project that I really like, but iMovie won't let me copy it and paste it into another project. The background comes over, but the font stays behind.

  • Can't change the font on titles?

    I know the usual way to change the fonts on movie titles is to click the title in the Project window, and then a "Show Fonts" button appears in the upper left of the viewer. I have actually done this before, but now when I click a title, that button does not appear. Why doesn't it appear now?
    Does it depend on the type of title I am using? I'm using Lens Flare and the text is appearing over myself when I'm talking to my iSight camera. Does it have to have it's own background, or are there any other parameters that I'm missing here?
    Thanks for any help.

    Certain titles cannot be altered. These include the fancy titles that use quartz composer routines. The simple titles like lower third will let you change fonts.

  • Is there a way ? changing font / color in all the title lips at once.

    i am making intro titles..  but now that i have made all the title clips... i really feel i need to change the font style....  also the color .. ( color i can go to the color board after making it to a compound clip..) but to change the font for all the title clips at on go  ,,,, what do i do ???  
    I really feel this will be a useful and much demanded feature... i dont know if there is a way which already exists... do let me know.. thank you..
    regards,
    arun kanth

    You can make multiple selections of titles and make changes to parameters (like color, font, etc.) and have them apply to all selected titles at once. Use the Text inspector especially if you have varied titles -- it's easier.
    Be careful you don't make changes you don't really want to make (changing font and size can bash the formatting of specific types of titles, like lower thirds or some of the bugs.)
    If you run into the situation where a value does not appear, for example: you select several titles of all different font sizes, the size slider will look disabled. The slider might be disabled, but you can click and drag up or down on where the number should be to adjust "relative" sizes (you'll see something like +6 or -4, etc.)

  • How to change font in imovie title

    I have put some titles in my iMovie and cannot change the font. I click on the Title and the font fetures are not active, so it remains the default font.

    Hey All,
    I was struggling with changing fonts too -- then I used "Upper" which can be changed and Simply copy and paste it into any other style of title.
    IT WORKS!  (what a hack)
    -Hope it works for you too

  • Change font in "Reflection black"?

    Hi;
    I'm using the "Reflection black" theme, but want to change the font for the title and the buttons. I've figured out how to do it, so I'm not looking for directions on HOW to do it -- I'm having a different problem.
    I can change the font for both the title and the menu buttons, but if I save the changes and then click on the "Chapters" pages to work on those, when I come back to the Menu page, it's reverted to the original font and size for both the movie title and the button text.
    This happens every time -- it won't maintain the font changes I've made in the theme. (I'm trying to change the font to Georgia, if that makes a difference, and it changes it back to Baskerville.)
    Thanks for any suggestions!

    No, I haven't added any fonts to this computer. I can't explain it ... the menu buttons and title on the main page just don't stay in Georgia when I put them there.
    Humor me, and let me make sure you're doing the same thing I'm doing: in Reflection Black, click on the "Main" page in the submenu, and change the fonts on the title and the buttons to Georgia. I'm also changing the button color to red.
    Save this.
    Click below "Main" to the "Chapters" page. Change fonts here to Georgia also.
    Save this.
    Click back to "Main" -- for me, the font has changed back to Baskerville for both the title and the menu buttons on the translucent white "sheet", and the color for the dot by the buttons has gone back to yellow.
    (Actually, this time the font stayed the same, but went back to the original SIZE, which was 60 pt font, when I'd changed it to a 36 pt font.)
    (A quick edit to reflect that while the font did stay the same, though jumping to a 60 pt font, clicking on it reveals that the font menu THINKS it's Baskerville at 60 pt, even though it's actually Georgia at 60!)

  • Cannot change font from Lucinda Grande

    Hi, recently when creating text using the text generator in FCP 5.1.2 i am unable to chance the font to anything. it is stuck on Lucinda Grande. All other drop menus are functional except for this one. Am i missing something obvious here? It has definitly worked fine before.. any ideas?
    Thanks, Matt

    Are you using FCP's Text tool? For me it has always been the most under-developed and unreliable part of the application. If you haven't already, try recreating your text files in Boris Title 3D (it's in the Boris folder in the Video Generators Folder in the Effects Tab of the Browser). It's easy to use and much more flexible - like allowing you to have different font styles and sizes in the same line, use a lot of cool effects in the Style Palette, etc.
    Also, if you haven't already, do the old standby trash your preferences and repair permissions. Curious: can you change fonts in any other applications?

  • Changing colour of titles

    I have recently updated to the newest version of iMovie and I am finding it very difficult to change the colour of the font on some of the titles, I know some features are disabled but I can't even change the colour of the Standard Title.  Any advice would be appreciated

    I'm having the same problem. I select a title, and simple features like changing font size, font face, color..etc are faded out and can't be used. Apple really dumbed down their iWork and iLife apps.
