Title positions in 16:9 format

iMovie 6.0.2 doesn't seem to understand vertical title positioning in 16:9 wide format. For example, adding an MTV style music video text block will place half the last line of text across the bottom of the "letter box." I've tried padding the bottom with extra carriage returns, but to no avail. iMovie seems clever enough to prevent that from working but not clever enough to figure out why I had to resort to this tactic in the first place. Anyone know of a workaround, or will I have to buy a 3rd party plugin?
TIA.

Because the Aspect Ratio (PAR in this case) is off, between the image and the Project, Scale to Fit is actually working correctly. The height is matching in both. Probably the easiest way to handle this would be to Rt-click on the image in the Project Panel and chose Interpret Footage. Set the PAR to 1.2 (NTSC Widescreen) from 0.9 (NTSC 4:3). You can also take your image into Photoshop (PS) and change the PAR, or Crop as necessary to fit.
Before I Import any still images into Pr, I always size them in PS to match my Projects' setting.
Good luck,
Hunt

  • Is it possible to Lock Title Position

    I have used Appleworks for many many years. A few years ago I downloaded a trial of iWork after they started offering a spreadsheet program. I was happy with the Numbers software with one huge exception. It did not offer a way to Lock Title Position as Appleworks spreadsheet does. Quite frankly, I don't see how anyone can use the Numbers spreadsheet if the document you're working on encompasses more than one page without having the title locked. Each column was named and I would have to scroll up constantly to see which column I was working on. I wound up calling Apple Support and they confirmed that there was no way to do this. My question is, has this been corrected in the current version of Numbers?

    For me it's not a problem. I used my memory and, to help it, I applied different background colours to columns so I was able to know in which column I was. And, most of the time, it's quitr easy to recognize it by the kind of content which is in the surrounding cells.

  • CC particle world expression: link to title position

    Hi there,
    All I'm simply wondering is how to link the cc particle world producer position points to the position of a title I want the particles to follow. I tried pick whipping the producer position x to the title position and the following expression (on the position x of producer in cc particle world) was created:
    thisComp.layer("TEXT").transform.position[0]
    This makes the particles disappear.
    Any ideas as to why this is happening. In the Andrew Krammer tutorial I am following it works for him, although he is using particular.
    Thanks heaps!
    Brad

    I use PW often to track other layers. I do not use an expression, though, I just parent the emitter to the motion path or mask shape/position. I am most often outlining text objects or doing the ol' laser carving in combination with Shatter. in that case, I parent the Shatter force sphere to a null that is tracing the outline path and parent the PW emitter to the same null. Easy and direct and very cliché.

  • Showing Positive Sign as Number Format

    Hi all,
    Is it possible to set the number format (custom format) to show the positive numbers with positive sign (+) in front of the number (for example, +2, +2.3, +0.0, etc).
    I don't want to have to cast the number as string and do a concatenation. So, is it possible to do that using a custom number format?
    Thanks a lot!

    Yess it is possible....
    Go to Column Propoerites -> Conditionla Format - > Add Condition
    If seleted measure is greater than or equal to 0
    then Edit format will open . In that goto -> Data Format -> Check on Override Default Data Format -> Select Custom
    Then add this +##,###,###
    Thanks and Regards,

  • Change position of print output format item

    I have a tabular form that has the report printing feature enabled. It display the 'Print' link on the bottom of the form. I created an item to let the user user choose the report output. How can I get the item to display next to the 'print' link?

    I want to position the lebel of the item on the top
    of the field like this
    My_Name Phone
    I have been play with the Lebel Horizon/Vertical
    Alignment of the item but it did work very well. Why?Use the "Above" label position setting on the item.

  • Add '+' to all positive numbers using custom format

    I am a whiz at Excel but took the plunge for Numbers recently. Many things I cannot figure out how to do, but the current one is, I want some cells to always show + and - for the integers. So, things like:
    +9
    -5
    +14
    etc.
    How do I set that up? My feeble attempts so far make negative numbers appear with both.

    In the custom format window,
    1) Click the plus sign.
    2) Choose "if greater than 0"
    3) Click in the new format line then use the left arrow to get to the left of what's already there
    4) Type a +
    5) If you want the format to be integers, skip this step. If you want decimal places then drag the decimal format up from below and drop one on the right of the original format and one on the right of your new format. Choose how many decimals you want for each. Choose to show trailing zeros if you want them.
    6) Click OK

  • Express vi Title position

    Hello,
    in the Express VI I can specify the custom VI title that will be finally placed in block diagram. Can I also change the positon of the label?
    The problem is, that if I want to have 2 lines label, it is always placed over the VI icon:
    Thanks,

    With 2012 and later you can change the default label justification for vi's on a BD.  VI's labels fall under "Other"  There is even a checkbox to automatically show subvi labels.  set the option to right-top or bottom anything and the growth won't cause grief.  (Well, bottom-xxx may interfer with polymorphic selectors)  Also uncheck "Labels locked by default" to make it easier to move labels on new vi's.  There is a Right-click setting to lock/unlock labels on individual objects

  • Why do my video timings, specially in the parts where there are titles get changed when changing the format in a file converter?

    Hi, i am currently working on a project in NSTC format but seem to have a technical problem. I have exported it (in wmv.) but i want to convert it to MP4 (iPod) and DVD format. Now, I have tried to convert the video with many pieces of software and they all seem to change my timings (e.g a title is shown before it should). This doesnt happen in the .wmv file but it seems to happen on both DVD and NSTC. Am I doing something wrong in premiere or is it another problem?
    Thanks in advance

    I am not sure that I am following. You have a Sequence in PrP, and have your Titles positioned and their Duration set, as you need. (I'm assuming Lower Thirds, or similar). Your preview verifies that everything is proper and satisfactory. Then, when you Export to certain formats, the Titles have "moved," so that they no longer accompany the proper visual from, say Video Track 1. Is that correct? If so, I am sorry to say that I have no idea how that could happen. I just want to get clarification on the exact problem, and will consider what could be afoot. Also, others will likely benefit from a bit more info.
    Good luck,

  • Formatting date of Presentation Variable in Report title

    In the report title the date format is YYYY-MM-DD however I want to display it as DD_MM_YYYY
    Can anyone let me know if it possible to format the date format for a presentation variable?
    Regards
    A

    I've tried this and all this output to the title is 2009-12-03[DD_MM_YYYY]
    Any other suggestions? Maybe I can change it when I set the variable in the prompt, did try {variable}[DD_MM_YYYY], in the prompt but it didn't work

  • Titles in DV format as opposed to HD format

    Im sorry to flood the board, but I am working with a deadline here and need a question answered asap. When starting a Live type project, where can you select the format output? DV/HD??
    thanks
    Mike

    sorry to bug you by email David, you da man!
    But, he gave me some good feedback on creating titles. You select the format under EDIT>project properties. But you should not change it after you started formatting. I started from scratch on all my titles and they got even better with David's advice. thanks!

  • Managing table titles in FrameMaker 12 does not work

    I have a mysterious problem in FrameMaker 12. When creating a table I am not able to move the table title. When changing the setting to below or above or whatever and pressing Apply nothing happens. The feature works allright in FrameMaker 11. I have tried with both existing and new documents and the it doesn't matter. I can not do anything with the title position of tables.
    Are anybody else expiriencing the same problem ?
    regards

    I don't think it ever was officially documented as the Help for reformatting tables since FM8 states:
    To redefine a table format:
    1. Click in a table whose format you want to redefine, and choose Table > Table Designer. If the table you click in has format overrides, these overrides--not the catalog format's definition--appear in the Table Designer.
    It does seem odd though that in FM12 with the table selected via the anchor, the Designer does show any overrides applied, yet one cannot apply the override this way. Something has changed and it may be an unintended side-effect of something else. What the overall implication for this is unknown, but the programming team should be made aware of this.

  • Formatting report in excel format

    Hi,
    I have to generate report in excel format but I don't know how to format it for example to add a dynamic title, and to add a logo in the top of the excel sheet...
    any help..
    thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    Oracle Portal Reports generated do not pick up the foramting conditions which you would see in HTML/ASCII format .Hence ,TITLE ,FOOTER or number ,date formats wouldn't work in Excel format .Incase you needed formatted output ,you can use HTML/ASCII foramt.
    Incase you want to use the EXCEL format.Save the Excel file and right macros to do so.

  • Passing rendering format and report parameters in the URL to call a report - SSRS 2012

    Hi,
    I've a SSRS 2012 with the integer and multivalue Creation_Years parameter that I need to call directly to export data in the Excel format.
    I've tried to use this URL:
    http://reportserv/Reports/Pages/Report.aspx?ItemPath=%2fInsurance%2fInstallations_Excel&rs:Format=excel&Creation_Years=2014 but the parameter is required in an interactive manner.
    I've tried to set the hidden property for the parameter, I've tried to invert the position of the "rs:Format=excel" string with the "Creation_Years=2014", but the error message doesn't change. Also if I specify the 2015 year, the parameter
    isn't overwritten with the 2015 value.
    Any helps to me, please? Thanks

    Ok, thanks, I note that you have added "rs:Command=Render": looking to the official documentation this string seems optional.
    Your url functions but the parameter cannot be a multivalue one. Do you confirm this?
    Thanks
    If you want to sent value for multi valued parameter through URL you need to repeat it
    ie like this
    http://reportserv/ReportServer/Pages/ReportViewer.aspx?%2fInsurance2fInstallations_Excel&rs:Command=Render&rs:Format=excel&Creation_Years=2014&Creation_Years=2015&Creation_Years=2016...

  • How to escape special characters in a region title

    I have created a drill down report where the second report is filtered by a value chosen in the first report. I am using &Pn_field. syntax to pass the name of the select value to the region title of the second report. Some of the returned values have a ':' in them and therefore the text does not print after the ':'. How do I escape the ':' in the region title?
    regards
    Paul P

    Paul,
    I think your question is "How do I use f?p URL syntax to pass data values to a page where the data includes a colon?" (Please correct me if that's not the issue.) The answer is, you can't. Same with commas. HTML DB reserves those two characters for the f?p request syntax. You'll have to save the string into the item before the page branch. There is no restriction on what characters can be used in a region title, it's just HTML-formatted text, except that you must escape anything that looks like HTML unless you want the browser to treat it as HTML. There are restrictions, however, on what characters you can pass in URLs in general and you must take care to escape them properly, e.g., ?, &, whitespace.
    And do speak up if I've missed the point.

  • Auto Calculate not working in Locked Title.

    I am in the process of upgrading from AW 5.0.4 to AW 6.2.9
    Just as a matter of interest and also it may help some who suffer the "Autocalc on strike" bug.
    I ran into the "Autocalc on strike" bug in two large spreadsheets when they were saved as AW 6. I use these spreadsheets continually from year to year to keep annual track of my business so they are important to me.
    All of the many calculations and references updated automatically as data was entered, except those that were placed in the "Locked Title". These needed the manual "Calculate Now" command to force them to respond.
    I tried the "save in AW 5 and save back into AW 6" trick but this did not work.
    The solution that fixed both spreadsheets was to:
    Quit AW 6
    Open copies of the original AW 5 spreadsheets in AW 5.
    Go to "Options" menu and uncheck "Lock Title position"
    Save
    Quit AW 5
    Open and save the spreadsheets in AW 6 again.
    The title can be locked again if desired.
    Wonderful.... now I have my precious spreadsheets and database working perfectly in AW 6 and access to my many files produced over the last eight years, here's to another ten years of using Appleworks.
