Adding text Subtitles for conversation

I am pretty new to FCP so bare with me. I'm trying to add text to my video. I have video where people are talking so I'm trying to add text to the bottom of the screen quoting what people are saying. I know how to add text to the video but it always adds it in the middle of the screen instead of at the bottom unless I select crawl which then makes it scroll across the screen which I don't want. Help please!

Add the text generator clip to your Timeline at the appropriate place, then, using the Center controls, position the text where you want it.

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.

Adding an area for text and importing HTML from Photoshop.

Okay, here's the skinny:
I've designed a homepage in photoshop and have decided to export it using the "save for web and devices" option in Photoshop. I've basically sliced the image up into different areas and now that I have it sliced and saved I am looking to import it into dreamweaver, which is actually really easy and caused me no issues.
My question is regarding adding text to such a page, which is now in dreamweaver and all I have is images as the web page. Can I just delete the images, and some of them are just blank black space that i've specifically sliced in the photoshop in case I want to add text in those areas later, and just add text in those areas? Do I need a div tag in that situation? Sometimes when I try and just add text the text pushes the rest of the images to the right when I reach the edge of the space I am using to type text. I guess you've probably established I am kind of new to this and doing it in a completely amateur way, but at this point all I am trying to do is create a sample for someone. I am not in the business of web design or plan on getting into it at any point. This is mostly for fun for me and screwing around.
Thanks.
Maybe an illustration would help? Let me know.

Sadly, this is an all too familiar lament in these forums. Graphics apps produce crappy HTML pages. They're only good for quick comps to show the client before you go to all the trouble of re-building the design with CSS and HTML code. Use Pshop for images only. Use DW to build your web pages.
The following tutorial describes the procedure you should use.

I just added an iphone for my wife. Why do we both see each others texts on both phones

i just added an iphone for my wife. why do we both see each others texts on each phone??

Well this is happening because you have the same apple id.
You can create one on your device or on itunes on the computer for free.

When i add text to PDFs and work on the file for awhile, my red added text starts to turn into red X's with a box around them. I have OCRs turned off, i have the latest update, and i have registered the product. What is happening to my text while i'm work

When i add text to PDFs and work on the file for awhile, my red added text starts to turn into red X's with a box around them. I have OCRs turned off, i have the latest update, and i have registered the product. What is happening to my text while i'm working on these files? On top of this, my red arrows get moved around also.

Hi ,
Could you please update me with few details like what version of Acrobat are you using?
What OS do you work on ?
Do you experience this any particular PDF or happens with all of them?
Did you try the same with turning on the OCR ?Please check the same and compare the outputs .Does that help you in anyway ?
If the file is not confidential ,could you please share the file with us so that we can analyse it our end and revert you with the appropriate answer .
Please share the file on [email protected] and please cc [email protected] as well .

Does not let me add text to my verizon website. This adding text feature works well on internet explorer. I can click on add text, the box opens up but I can not type in the box for some unknown reason. What can be done to correct this problem ...

I didn't search before, but "you are not alone" (the thread [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/747424 In Verizon's Sitebuilder for webpages, I can not edit text boxes when using Firefox. I do not have this problem if I use Internet Explorer. Is there a setting I can change in Firefox to correct this problem?] has 18 votes for "I have this problem, too).
I can only guess about the reason... Firefox works with many websites' "rich text" editors, but ones that haven't been updated for five years may assume that Firefox is the old Netscape browser and use scripting techniques that don't work in Firefox.
If Verizon has a different "basic" or HTML editor that you can tolerate using, you could try that. It might not be subject to the same incompatibilities.
If I someday get a Verizon account, I will surely be looking into this further, but for now, it's hard to suggest anything else.

On click of lov new jsp page which has only text area for adding comment

hi all ,
please help me to do this task. on click of lov new jsp page should be opend which has only text area for adding comment and upon clicking submit on the jsp page the value entered on the textarea should fall on the text field of lov.
with regards
prabhakaran.p

The only reason I see for such a requirement is "Notes" require more space for entering a detailed note and would be inconvenient to write it in small single-line text input box. But, still in this case, getting the entered text back to the page and displaying it will have the same inconvenience of reading it from that field. And, I still think that removing one amongst the two (text field or image link) would be good, design wise.
Anyway, did u try the following:
1. Add a flow layout to the table bean
2. Add text input and image item to the flow layout.
3. Attach the notes page as the destination uri for the image.
Did u start the working on it, let us know how far did u reach so that we can guide you through from that point.

What listener do you use for adding text to JTextField?

what listener do you use for adding text to JTextField?
I have a component which adds some text to my JTextField, and I want to pick up this event. I have tried ActionListener with no effect.
cheers,

jtextField.getDocument().addDocumentListener();
The DocumentListener implements:
changeUpdate() insertUpdate() removeUpdate().

When adding text in XI Pro, some characters appear and some don't. A space is substituted for the characters that don't print. How do I fix this?

When using Adobe XI Pro and adding text, some numbers are not displayed. In their place, a blank appears. At first I thought it was a weak keyboard battery, but the same data appears fine in Word. I've never seen this happen before. Does anyone have any suggestions? (Windows 7 Pro)
Thank you!

I don’t know the font. (One of our other employees had experienced the problem.) We did discover that if we saved the document and then reopened it, the text was all there.
You may close this issue.
Thank you!

Creating Subtitles for Feature Film Documentary

I am finishing up editing work on a Brazil documentary, and I am looking for the best advice in adding subtitling in FCP. In searching the forums, I have came across this,
_*http://www.belle-nuit.com/subtitler/index.html*_
Is this a better way to create subtitles other then just creating a text layer in FCP and creating a text block through the text generator for every line of text?
Is NOT recommended to create subtitles in FCP because it will embed them into the video once exported?
My main question is, what is the best way to create subtitles for a feature length film that is edited in Final Cut?
Appreciate any advice as our deadline is coming!
Thanks,
ben

I just looking for the best option now, before we start the final subtitling, so that we don't shoot ourselves in the foot. < </div>
That would be to create a standardized .smi file that can be read by many different subtitle applications.
Looking for a method that will give us the best options for distributing the film. Not having to re-do the entire output of the film to change languages, re-edit subtitling.< </div>
Umm, how exactly would you release the project in three different languages without creating three different versions? Or at least three different subtitle files?
Would that link I previously posted, or even using DVD SP give the best option, just dropping in a different DVD SP title stream? < </div>
DVD is a terrible way to deliver subtitles, IMO. Just bring one home and watch it. But there's a huge difference between open and closed subs and open and closed captioning, too.
There is no best solution that applies to all distribution media. You must decide on the delivery format and then work backwards.

Text Area for long text not appearing properly for BBP_POC_DISPLAY Service

Hi,
In our development we have added additional Icon at ITS in Process PO transaction and onclicking that icon Web dynpro AB screen called with the Purchase Order No of selected row .(SRM 5.0)
There is one more icon in Web dynpro screen on click of that Purchase order service open in ITS with display mode .This is achieved with service BBP_POC_DISPLAY from Web Dynpro-AB.
This is also working ok only the issue is in Document tab of PO The Text Area for long text appear at Top .This functionality is working fine with BBP_POC service from ITS .
Has anybody faced this kind of issue ?
Thanks,

Hi SMS,
I am unsure of the additional component you are talking about. In general, issues with text area misplacing, is solved by note 1067625. May be you can check it.
thanks,

When I drag the item off of the trifold that I am creating, it just disappears but I still want to use it. I just need to move it out of the way to modify other portions of the document.
thanks,

Add another page below the current one to use as a storage area. You can't use the grey area around the page for storing items you want to use later.

Adding Text to a photo...Need help

I'm new to Adobe Photoshop Elements 7. I'm following the instructions for adding text to a photo, but I can't see what I'm typing. I can see the cursur, but nothing else. I can see the text in the Layer, but not on the photo. Please help.

Check the font size in the options bar. If it's really small you won't see it.
Look in your layer's palette and insure your text is in a layer located above the photo in the stack.
You might also check your image's resolution in the Image Size dialog. I've seen a couple of posts where someone changes the resolution to 1 with resample turned off...then can't see the text because it's too small even when they have large numbers inserted in the font size box.

Acrobat crashes whenever adding text

This occurs whether there is a text box to be filled in or using the add text function. There may be other things also crashing it but this is the biggest issue for me on my Mac host system. If I open the same documents in a Windows VM using Reader, I can enter text without difficulty.

I'm having a similar issue. Every third or fourth time I save after adding text Acrobat crashes with no meaningful reason (at least none in the crash message)...even though the added text is saved. I'm working through trying different text settings to see if there is a problem there. I'll post what I find.
