Adding text resizes picture

Hi,
I'm editing a trailer for a foreign film.
I've been adding subtitles using the text tool in final cut pro.
However, upon export I've noticed the picture resizes (a subtle pop) every time the text
appears and leaves frame. It's hard to describe, but I've posted a 20 second clip here --
http://vincegermain.com/textquestion
Anyone know why it's doing that and how I can fix it?
The source footage is ProRes 422 (HQ) 1920X1080 25fps
Thanks so much in advance

Okay, I still don't know why the picture was jumping around in size
but I found a workaround. I thought I'd share in case anyone else has this
problem in the future.
I simply added an additional blank text element on another video track
to encompass the entire project. This seemed to do the trick.
I still would love to know what the problem might have been or the
proper way to address it. But for now, I'm back to work.

Adding Text on Pictures

Hi, is there anyway I can use iPhoto 6 to add text on a picture?
I've posted my pictures on my website and I would like to add my name on them to prevent it from being used by somebody else.
Thank You in advance.

JES:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. What type of web site are you adding the photos to? Is it an iWeb or HomePage site or one you are creating yourself and uploading the photos manually? If it's the last then you can use a watermarking application to batch add your copyright notice on each photo before uploading to the site. Just go to VersionTracker.com and do a search for "watermark".
All of the applications require you to have the files outside of iPhoto and work on a drag and drop basis. So you'll need to export those files you want watermarked to a folder on the desktop and then batch edit them there.
You could use a 3rd party editor like Photoshop Elements or GraphicConverter and edit them thru iPhoto by setting it as the editor of choice in iPhoto's General preference section.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.

Why does Preview automatically resize the text box to cut off the last character of added text? How do I fix it?

Why does Preview automatically resize the text box to cut off the last character of added text? How do I fix it?
I use the Tools > Annotate > Add Text feature, and when I click away after adding text, it automatically changes the text box size such that the last letter -- or last word -- gets bumped off into an invisible line below it, forcing me to manually adjust every single text box. It is highly annoying when trying to complete PDF forms (e.g. job applications).
It appears to be a glitch, quite honestly, an error resulting from Apple's product design. Has it been fixed in the new operating system (for which they want $30)?
I would very much appreciate any help you can provide! Thank you for your time.

Use Software Update to update your os to 10.6.8 and anything else that needs to be updated. After the installations go to /Library/Preferences - trash the com.apple.Preview.plist file. Repair permissions, restart your computer and empty the trash. Your Preview issue should now be resolved.

My picture blacks out when adding text or selecting an area.

When I try to add text the picture blacks out. I can't see anything and have to type blind. When I am done, everything comes back and the words are there, but every time I click in the word box to change anything the picture will black out.
I also have a problem when doing a large selection area - as I outline the item I want to select the picture will blink in and out.
Thank you for any help you cna provide

Does turning off »Use Graphics Processor« in the Performance Preferences and restarting Photoshop have any bearing on the issue?

I saved a PDF doc in adobe and then added text to the form. But every time I try an email it it only

I saved a PDF doc in adobe and then added text to the form. But every time I try an email it it only sends the original form without text. Once I've changed a doc in Adobe, how can I save it so that I'm able to use it with added text and notes? Also, I'm using a new iPad.

If you are using those apps or websites, they are likely viewing the PDF using iOS' built in PDF previewing, which will not show annotations and markup to the PDF. We have informed Apple of this issue, but do not have any insight into whether or when they will fix it.
Regarding the qustion about importing pictures, Adobe Reader does not provide any capabilities to import pictures into a PDF. To do this, you'll need to use Acrobat, available on your desktop computer.

IPad, Acrobat Reader, Content (text and pictures) no longer showing, just blank pages

Hi,
I have a user who successfully opened a .pdf attachment from outlook mail and then opened it in Acrobat Reader on the iPad and then edited it and moved it to a created folder.
Everything was working fine and the user highlighted text in the .pdf document too.
What then happened is when the user subsequently opened the file, the highlights were shown but not the content (text and pictures).
I checked they had the latest version via the apps store updates and noted there had recently been an update which had been applied.
I did check also in the diagnostics to see if there were any acrobat files, but there were none, I also turned on 'send diagnostics' in case this this will help in the future.
I rebooted the iPad by pressing and holding the power and home buttons until the apple logo appeared.
Checked again to see if I could view the .pdf content (it's around 8.5 MB file with 32 pages), still nothing showing apart from the yellow highlights that the user had done.
From within Acrobat Reader on the iPad I chose to open the file in iBooks to see if I could read it there. I could successfully open the file in iBooks and the front page thumbnail was showing (I did note that in Acrobat reader the thumbnail was white).
I found the email with attachment and opened it again in Acrobat Reader and it opens correctly, suggesting somehow the previous copy had become damaged? I have now saved this good copy over the top of the existing bad copy and all is OK except that the user has lost the highlights previously made.
Can you give me some idea of how this file has become broken in Acrobat Reader on the iPad and how I can avoid it happening again.
Many Thanks.

Thanks for replying.
This is the first time it has happened, the user has several folders containing files (on their iPad), (some .pdf's with additional highlights) these files are typically company agm board packs so contain pages of text and photo's too.
I put it down the fact that when I checked the app store for updates there had recently been an update and the user had not rebooted their iPad for some time, hence some of the underlying adobe reader files were perhaps between versions.
I don't know how you handle files when performing an update, do you close the app, flush files from memory and do a clean update?
I can confirm that the .pdf file had not been sent as an email attachment after having added the highlights.
Because the acrobat document contains so many pictures (32 pages and 8.5MB) when scrolling through it takes several seconds for some pages to appear, and others with text and pictures quite a while for the text to become sharp, I presume this is because the Acrobat Reader cannot open the 8.5MB file in one go and has to keep swapping it out of memory. Having reached the end if I scroll back to the beginning it takes 10's of seconds before the first page re-appears, otherwise it's just a white page. Interestingly in iBooks the pages appear almost immediately when viewing.
The iPad in question is model MD368B/A, 64GB, Software Version 7.1.1 (11D201) and has 28GB Memory available. Usage tells me Adobe Reader is taking 328MB and is version 11.3.1
I have just finally browsed back to recent documents, opened 2 or 3 other documents and then this one again (from recent) and it is now broken, just shows white pages (and on the thumbnail too) with my test highlights. so I can now apparently reproduce it.
Hope this all helps you re-produce
Regards,

I updated to 5.0 beta and the page on the screed is smaller than the previous version and I cant get the zoom to work to increase the text and pictures.

the text and pictures is very small or at leat much smaller than in the prior version and the zoom will not make it bigger.

Hi Idreier,
I'd try starting Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If you don't have the issue while all of your add-ons, extensions, and themes are disabled, you can try adding them back in one by one until you find the culprit.
Hopefully this helps!

Adding text to a photograph

Hi,
My question is in 2 parts really:
1) Once the photos are uploaded into iphoto, is there anyway of adding text to the photo? Say a title, or details of something about the picture that I wouldn't want to forget? If so, how can I do this?
2)My camera has the ability to add text to pictures. If I did this, when I came to uploading them into iphoto, would the text come with the pictures, and if so, where would it be displayed?
3)When exporting the photographs, to share with others or print, would I be able to disable the text, so it doesn't show on the photograph?
Thanks very much.

in iPhoto there are several ways to add information about a photo - a title - a decscription - keywords - putting it in an album = these are all metadata and local to your computer - you can choose to include or not include them when you export a photo
if you want to actually put text on a photo then you must use a thir party program (Preview can do this - Annotate) or external editor - one you add text to a photo it is there and the old information behind the text is gone
as to what you camera does - read the camera manual - if it puts text in the EXIF ro IPTC fields and if iPhoto reads thos fields then that information will be part of the iPhoto database - it it puts text directly on a photo then it is part of the photo

Adding Text to Movie

How do you add texting, besides titles to your iMovie.
Also, is it possible to do a just a picture movie not like actual movies?

Welcome to the  Discussion Forums.
Not fully sure what you mean by adding text other than by titling. You could produce slides in something like photoshop with your text on, but I honestly believe that titling will do more or less all you want in this area (excepting special effect titles). If you want text over a black or coloured background, titling will do this for you, all you need is a black or other background.
If by picture movie you mean a slideshow, then yes imovie can do this, you simply need to use stills rather than video. One note of caution though is that imovie can be a little time consuming with very short slides (say 1/2 second or less) under which circumstances other editing applications may be more suitable.

Photoshop CC : Workspace Flashing Black When Inserting Guides & Completely Black When Adding Text

Problem with text resizing and moving

After much pain with this issue, I'm going to ask for help.
The whole issue(s) resolves around text upsizing, changing and moving in Muse.
No amount of grouping, layering and locking has stopped this issue for me.
I don't have divs that are a pixel off and whatnot. This happens even when I have a blank site and I test it (as seen in the example pic below).
The majority of the time, this is an issue when viewing Muse created sites on Android, although text does move when viewed on iOS.
Example 1:
I have a square div. I put text in the div that I want to stay contained in the div. Basic right?
View site on browsers and iOS devices it generally plays by the rules (although not always, there are some movement going on). When viewing this example text and div on an android device, the text resizes larger. This results in the text overlapping the div and moving EVERYTHING below it down. This makes it impossible to tightly design anything for a website.
I know Android has options within it for users to set text viewing size, but this worthless from a web designer standpoint. That is something I can't control.
Example 2:
I have 1 text field and set the typeface to 15. There is nothing else on the page, just a background image (under "Fill"). Viewed on browsers and iOS looks fine. When viewed on Android this text balloons to some enormous size (25+) that makes the website utterly useless. This random resizing makes it impossible to design to.
Example 2.5:
I take that same text from example 2, copy it into 2 of the same size text fields. They are placed next to each other, taking up the same width as Example 2. It now looks like 2 columns of text. Set the typeface to 15 again. I view it on Android and get the resizing issues from example 1 not example 2. It's noting to the extent of example 2 but like example 1, it still changes enough to ruins any design I'm trying to accomplish.
Is there any place in Muse to lock the text? I don't want to make the text into an image (obviously).
I been dealing with this in Muse for 6 months and haven't been able to find anything online or in forums about. I understand with the bevy of platforms out there nothing will look the same across the board, but right now I don't see how I can continue working with this issue.
Am I the only one dealing with this?
Thank you for any assistance.

Welcome to the annoying realities of working with text on websites... Nothing you describe is unique to Muse.
Every browser has it's own text engine and thus each line breaks text differently. Even the exact same web page on the same computer with the same fonts will sometimes result in different line breaks in different browsers, or even in different versions of the same browser. It's just a side effect of the nature of determining a line break, where even the most miniscule difference in calculations can result in an entire word fitting, or not fitting.
There are two "tools" that are especially important to understand and use effectively in order to create designs that work as effectively as possible with the variation in line breaks from one site viewer to the next.
Text Frame Height Always Matters
If a text frame is drawn to the exact height of the text wthin the frame, then any increase in the number of lines of text due to changes in line breaks will result in the text frame growing and other objects below the text frame being moved down.
If a text frame is drawn larger than the height of the text then when line breaks change the text frame won't grow unless the changes in line breaks are severe enough to result in the flowed text being taller than the text frame was originally drawn.
If you resize a text frame smaller than the text within the frame in Muse Design view, the frame will snap back to be large enough to accommodate the text, but a dotted horizontal line will appear within the text frame indicating the "minimum height" for the text frame. If line breaks change in the browser the text frame will grow or shrink in height down to the minimum height indicated by this dotted line.
Careful sizing of text frames can go a long way to creating a design that will continue to work well even when line breaks, and thus text frame heights change.
Grouping Has Consequences
As part of the output process, Muse collections the objects you've drawn into a hierarchy of horizontal groupings, vertical groupings, or stacks. When line breaks change in different browsers and text frames change height, when the text frames are located in this output heirarchy determines what impact the change in height has on other objects (if any).
For example, if you have a layout that looks like a 2x2 grid of text frames, by default Muse will interpret it to act as two colums. So if the first text frame gets taller it will push the text frame below it down, but won't impact the location of the two text frames in the second column.
If that's not the behavior you want, the way to tell Muse to treat things differently would be to group the two items in the first "row". This would cause the top to to be treated as a horizontal group. If anything in the group grows taller than the group, the group resizes taller and pushes the objects below it down. Thus if the top to items are grouped, if either one of them grows taller than the group it would push both the text frames below downward.
The 2x2 grid is just a simple example of the concept. In most cases you don't have to do anything special to get the behavior you want, but it is important to understand grouping has this ramification. Grouping an arbitrary set of objects on your page can result in undesired behavior when text frames resize in the browser.
For the Andriod screenshot you've provided, I don't have an immediate explanation. For us to explain what's shown we need to know the exact browser, browser version, Android version and device the screenshot is for. It would also be immensely helpful to have the URL for the page, so we can attempt to reproduce what you're seeing and view the exact code involved.

How can I remove the underline from added text for tracing edits

We have a lot of content that includes underscores and when we use the track text edit feature added text is green and underlined. How can I change the properties of the added text to not be underlined?

Starting with FM11, you could specify a custom colour to be used for track changes, but the styles (underline, strikethrough) are still hardwired.
Even if you try to make the changes to the rack text edit conditions in a MIF file, they will get overwritten as the MIF is interpreted when opened by FM.

How do I reduce a Word doc file size? (346 MP: 50 pages of text; no pictures)

I have a Macbook Air (circa 2010) using OS X 10.9.2. I have Office 2011 and am having trouble with a Word doc. It's 50 pages of just text (no pictures) but is 346.8 MB. It takes forever to save and Word crashes a lot. I have checked for updates to Word.
The only thing I can think of is that it copied over audio from audio notes. As background, I took text and audio notes in individual word documents for a semester's worth of classes. I then wanted all of the text together so I copied and pasted each class's notes into this document (in print layout, not in notebook layout). As far as I can tell, the audio did not come along to the new file. But I can't think of what else would cause the enormous file size.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've already changed the auto save and copy and paste settings. I also tried File > Reduce File Size, but that didn't help because the doc has no pictures.
Edit: I should also add, I don't want to lose the formatting, which is why I haven't tried just copying and pasting it into a text doc or something. It has headings, subheadings, etc.

Have you considered this ... since you suspect there may be old garbage in the file?
Try creating a brand new document in Word. Then try copying and pasting the old document into the new one. You may choose to do this in sections, or a few pages at a time.
