Is there a way to edit the text in a completed video?

Hello community,
I am completly new to Ae and I have a question:
How can I edit text in downloaded video sequence? I can't find any kind of text layer and it doesn't work with the text tool as well.
I hope someone can help!
Thank you!

Video is just pixels. Always has been. If there something in a video that you want to change then you have to either mask it out then replace it or paint or copy some new pixels over the thing you want to replace. You can add a layer, change the color, or do anything else you want to the video that changes the pixels, but as soon as you render the video you just have pixels.
There are some video players that will allow you to add things like synchronized subtitles, but those kinds of things, including links, hotspots, and other interactivity are a function of the player and they have nothing to do with the rendered video. You have to use software that changes these elements in the player, but that has nothing to do with the original video.
It would be nice if video could be just opened and you could move things around or change the text, but video in its current form is just like a photograph. You can't edit it without changing the pixels because the only thing there is pixels.

  • Is there a way to expand the text area of the login/lock screen for the warning message?

    I put our company's standard warning message in the Security & Privacy system preference ("Show a message when the screen is locked.") and it overflowed the allotted text area for the warning message text on the login screen and lock screens.  It seems that the area allows about 250 character messages and I need to provide about 500 characters.  Is there any way to expand the text area allotted for this purpose?

    To be a little more specific about the challenge I'm facing, I want to increase the allotted text space for the field I've outlined in the attached image.  Seems like there ought to be a NIB file that could be edited to accomplish this task:
    I would appreciate any advice on which file should be edited to expand the text field.

  • Is there a way to edit the context menus in Firefox?

    Is there any way to edit the context menus in Firefox outside of installing an extension, or does anyone know of an extension that does so that is updated regularly? There is one called Menu Editor, but it doesn't look like it's being updated any time soon so I wouldn't imagine it will be compatible with 4.0 any time soon. I just want to edit the order of something to convince me to switch back to Firefox.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    No, the submit button text is not customizable.

  • Is there a way to obtain the text item's value when the mouse pointer at?

    Hi,
    Is there a way to obtain the text item's value when the mouse pointer at? Mouse pointer may be located somewhere out of current record and even out of current block.

    There is a when-mouse-over trigger and that works fine in client-server mode for Forms 5/6/6i, but that is less indicated when deployed using Application Server.
    In that trigger you may write whatever code is necessary, restricted package procedures.
    Still, I think, for your case, if you do not have to deal with a multi-record block, you should use the HINT property for that item and set_item_property with the HINT argument for that item in order to set the hint to the item's value - this should set_item_property should be called on the when-new-record-instance .

  • I have created a form that contains fields with default text for a user to update/personalize.  Is there a way to style the text so I can quickly identify changes to default text in a field?

    George - Thanks you so much!  Actually, i'd love for the text color to be red font color.  Could you send me the script for that? And I assume I just copy and paste the script into the field properties (see screenshot)?
    thanks again!

  • In Logic 9, is there any way of editing the take folders of, say, 7 different drum tracks at the same time, so that each track has the same changes applied to its takes?

    Thanks. I know how to select multiple tracks in the mixer, did that and put on group clutch,
    Hi
    Wrong..
    To assign tracks to a group, click in the dark gray box just above the automation (Read/Write/Off etc) on a channel strip, and select the group number you wish to use. The first tim eyou assign a group, the Group Setting swindow will appear automatically, thereafter you need to click on the group area and choose 'Open Group Settings'.
    Make sure that you have turned off Group Clutch (this disables all Groups)
    Maybe this will help

  • Is there any way to edit the standard Firefox context menu for displayed Web pages?

    Is there any way to edit the standard Firefox context menu for displayed Web pages? I frequently want to save a picture appearing on a page. Sometimes I "slip" and hit "Send Image" when I want "Save Image As", and have to sit and wait for a default send-mail page to come up, then close it, fiddling with its "are you sure" dialogs. This is a painful way to handle a slip-up. I basically NEVER want to e-mail an element directly from a page. Is there any way I can just delete "Send Image" from the context menu?

    You can remove entries in the context menu with code in the userChrome.css file

    Some IDs are listed in this MozillaZine Knowledge Base article:

    To find the ID of others you will have to use the DOM Inspector.

  • Is there a way to remove the text that appears over dock icons when the cursor is over them?

    Is there any way to remove the text that appears over dock icons when you hover over them?  Or at least make it time out, or become more transparent?

    You can do that with the Menu Editor extension - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/menu-editor/
    This extension has not been updated by its author in a couple of years, but another developer has updated it for Firefox 4, you can get the updated version from http://netticat.ath.cx/MyAddons/MyAddons.htm#3rdpartyaddons

  • Is there a way to edit a cell?  I need to put some spacing between the check boxes...  I already have the whole form done 60 plus text cells, except 5 check box cells.  Is there a way to edit existing text?

    Hi,
    I am new to the forum, because I usually don't run into stupid format issues.  I create most of my forms in word or excel then import them into PDF.  I need help with figuring out if I can edit some text without having to redo the entire document.  5 cells are off... really be steamed if I have to do it all over.

    Acrobat can make limited edits to the text on a page, but the control you have is limited and may not be sufficient for what you need to do. To access the text editing tool in Acrobat 11, select: Tools > Content Editing > Edit Text & Images
    and then click where you want to edit the text, and see what happens when you attempt to make the changes you want.

  • Is there a way to edit the saved StartCfg.cfg file on a Linksys SRW switch?

    I have a SRW248G4 switch that I want to edit the StartCfg.cfg file to use as a template for several new switches.  The content of the startcfg.cfg file looks to be binary or mostly binary.  Is there a way to get the switch to save and load the file in text format similar to the Cisco switches?
    An alternate option is to create a templete config on one of the new switches with all the standard settings, save it, upload that template config to the other new switches and change the things that are different/unique from the web interface.  This is possible but will take a lot longer.
    Thanks,

    You cannot edit the library file itself, but you could perhaps edit the XLM file and then import that, basically following the procedure you use when the library file has been damaged:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1451
    You'll need to be very careful about editing the XML, though, as it's really easy to completely mess up your library if you edit the wrong thing. Make absolutely sure you have backup copies of the original iTunes library file and XML file, so you can put them back just in case something does go wrong.
    Hope this helps.

  • Is there a way to get the text written into a text object in an AWTFrame

    I am trying to get the text written into the text box in the AWTFrame.
    I have tried the following:
    <pre> AccessibleTextInfo acinfo;
         AccessibleContextInfo actinfo;
         AccessibleTextItemsInfo acttinfo;
         actinfo = getContextInfoFromContext(ac);
         GetAccessibleTextInfo(vmID,ac,&acinfo,actinfo.x,actinfo.y);
         printf("char count =%i\n",acinfo.charCount);
         printf("OK so far\n");
         GetAccessibleTextRange(vmID,ac,0,MAX_STRING_SIZE,sData,MAX_STRING_SIZE);
         printf("text =%s\n",sData);</pre>
    The charCount is correct but the string returned is always null.
    Is this the right way to do this. If not then is there a correct way to get the text from a text box.

  • Is there any way to edit the autocorrect dictionary?

    Autocorrect is potentially very useful, but it keeps throwing up mistakes and pointless alternatives. Is there any way to edit this list?
    FOR EXAMPLE: Whenever I type the word "word", iphone throws up "'Word" - complete with unwanted single-quote and capital W - and if I don't spot it in time, it inserts it. Another mistake is when it 'corrects' 'me' to 'mr', despite the fact that I don't normally use 'mr'.
    Is there any way to remove unwanted words in the autocorrect dictionary? Tapping the unwanted word - with its little 'x' at the end - doesn't delete the word from its use the next time. Furthermore, is there a way of ADDING a word that I know I'm going to need in the future? (Such as a friend's name)

    You can reset the dictionary back to default from the keyboard settings (or was it Reset area), either way, can reset the dictionary. No way to edit it. me should be more popular than mr and now sure why it is doing the Word thing.

  • Is there a way to edit the songs in my library?

    I have a song in my library that is actually two songs. Is there a way that I can edit it and turn it into 2 separate tracks?

    CTRL-click, Options, and set the Start and Stop times for the first. Highlight the song, Advanced > Convert Selection to XXX. Back to the main song, set the Start and Stop for the second. Highlight, Advanced > Convert Selection to XXX. Retag the newly created (shorter) files with the correct info. Then you can keep or discard the original (longer) file.
    Note that this procedure does not work with "protected" purchases from the iTunes Store.

  • Is there a way to edit the same RAW file in Aperture 3 and then Photoshop CS5?

    I recently got Aperture 3.4.5 and its been great for stream-lining my workflow.  But for certain RAW adjustments, like applying a gradient, I want to use Photoshop CS5's RAW editing window.  I don't seem to be able to export the file as a modified CR2 from Aperture to Photoshop CS5.  Is there a way to do this?
    And if exporting a modified CR2 from aperture is not possible, what advice can you give me for applying gradients in aperture, or in combinations with photoshop.  Is there a way to open a JPEG or TIFF in the raw editing window by any chance?
    Any and all advice welcome.  Cheers!
    -Mike

    Is there a way to open a JPEG or TIFF in the raw editing window by any chance?
    If you open Bridge and go into the Camera Raw Preferences, you will see a section at the bottom where you can set preferences for TIFF handling. Setting the option to 'Automatically open all supported TIFFs' will result in any TIFF file sent from Aperture to Photoshop via 'Edit with Photoshop CS5' function being launched in ACR and allow you to work on the TIFF file.
    You then have to open the image in Photoshop with the 'Open' button in ACR and save the file (making sure you have the TIFF file extension set when saving). I haven't used this in a while, but I think it may try to save as a '.tif' file which would not be seen by Aperture when you complete the save (and have a '.tif' file sitting in the Masters folder that has no connection).
    This is still not the RAW file - obviously - but will allow you to use the ACR tools on the TIFF file generated by Aperture and return it with those edits if saved correctly in PS CS5.
