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.

Why does added text disappear when I move the cursor

After adding text to an unprotected .pdf file the text disappears when I move the cursor and want to add a second box of text. The text in the first box reappears when I double click on the space where the box was. How do I set the text so that it remains visible and printable?

Hi,
I think the data in the PDF file was filled-in using MAC preview.
One option is to ask the user to fill the file again using Adobe Reader or Acrobat.
Or else refer to following link:

Problems adding Text track to .mov file

I am having a problem adding a text track to a quicktime file. I want to overlay text onto a PAL DV file. The original file size is 720 x 576 but when I add the text (as per the instructions in the QT Player Help) instead of having the text overlaid, it appears next to the Video image and gives me an image size of 1325 x 577. If I now export this as a "PAL DV" file, QT Player shows the whole 1325x577 frame whilst FCP accepts the file but shows only the video part of the frame.
I'm running QT 7.4.5 on a MacBook Pro with OS10.5.2. I have tried re-installing QT without success - this maybe because the Preferences seem to stick when upgrading/re-installing (?)
Any thoughts, help or, better still, a definitive answer to my problem would be most welcome.

Use the Movie Properties window to size your added text track to match the 720 width.
For viewing a DVD on a TV size it even smaller (700) and set an offset value of 10 pixels so your text doesn't get cut off during playback.

Adding text to 0MOVETYPE and 0MATMREA

Hi all,
I'm working on adding text to infoobjects 0MOVETYPE and 0MATMREA, and have localized the tables in source system and created extractor for both tables. Filling 0MOVETYPE works fine, but 0MATMREA is a problem. The field "reason for movement" (GRUND in MSEG table) is directly connected to the movement type.
In source table for reason for movement (T157E) the field Movemen type is also a key, and the text table for an infoobject does not contain this many keys.
Example - source table looks like this
Language - Movetype - reason - text
EN - 101 - 1 - poor quality
EN - 102 - 1 - Shrinkage
When the field Movetype is not key in infoobject I get duplicate records.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to best solve this issue?
Thanks
regards,
Øystein

Hi,
(The infoobject looks to 0MOVETYPE to determine which text to use)
i did not get this part...
But yes if u have corresponding value of 0MOVETYPE coming form the source u can map it in transformation.It should work fine.

Adding Text above and below cropped picture

I have a picture I want to use for iron on transfers. I want to add text above and below the cropped image, and print out to a size that fits 8.5 X 11 injch transfer paper. I am having a problem with adding the text. I cant seem to be able to get it outside of the image. How do I do this?

Crop your picture.The crop tool allows you to set size and resolution. Go to Select>all, Edit>copy
Open new blank file. File>new>blank file. W=11", H=8.5". Resolution: as noted in step#1 Color:RGB Background::white
Go to Edit>paste. Your picture will be on its own layer
Access the move tool. Grab one of the corner handles and hold down the shift key on the keyboard, then make the picture smaller by dragging the corner towards the center, leaving room at top and bottom
Access Horizontal type tool and type your text at top, then on bottom. You can position text with move tool. Again text is on new layers.
Since you will be printing, it is desirable to have the resolution 240-300px/in.

Does Added Text Resolution Match Photo Resolution

I am adding text to some screen grabs from an old 8mm movie. The movie resolution is not very high. When I add text to the screen shots, they are very low resolution.
I am assuming that the text resolution is simply matching that of the screen grab. Is there anyway to set the text resolution different from that of the photo from the screen capture?

I will piggy back on this discussion. I have discovered that, although the image resolution is inconsequential when sizing images by pixel dimensions, it still matters if you decide to add copyright information with the type tool.
e.g. I have received images from several people, all sized to 1024 pixels in width, but I wanted to add their names to the front of the images before putting the images into a slideshow. I quickly discovered that, although the images are of identical size when viewed, the names applied vary in size according to the resolution of the image.
Since different makes of cameras assign a different resolution to images taken with that camera, I needed to change the resolution of the images to all be the same before I could add names that appear as the same size. This came as a surprise to me.

HT3459 Why is my added text disappearing when transferring a quicktime video from my Mac to my iPad 2?

I have a .mov file. (Quicktime video - edited in Quicktime Pro) I transferred it to another computer, via it's public folder, so it would be on the computer where my itunes library is. No problem. I transferred it to my iPad through iTunes. The video transferred and plays. Soundtrack that I added is also intact. Problem is, I have added text to the video and for some reason the text does not show up on the ipad (but does on my computer). Any suggestions?
Your help is greatly appreciated!

ask your question on forums.iis.net. This has nothing to do with C# or asp.net since your code is not even getting executed.

P6 Text Attachment moves

I assigned text attachments to some activities but whenever I open that report attachments move up or down the report, do not stick with these activities. Any suggestions??
Thanks Goran S.

user13064427,
Just in case you haven't tried this.....another option would be to utilize the built-in Notebook tool in P6. It provides you with multiple options for adding text or other graphics to the gantt chart area of your P6 schedules.
Be careful not to overload your notebook area with too many graphics.....may create a memory hog and crash your software. As a side note, these Notebook text boxes sometimes get crushed or squeezed after reorganizing the schedule. The notebook text boxes may have to be manually resized (future enhancement request). We have found that by simply placing your cursor in the gantt chart region and scrolling thru the activities relieves this problem.
hope this helps,

Adding text to indesign pages with specific font ,size,and color using javascript

Hello,
Using javascript i am able to add some text to each page of an indesign file.
myNewText = "SOME TEXT"
myTextFrame = myPage.textFrames.item(0);
tempframe = myTextFrame.contents;
myTextFrame.contents = myNewText + tempframe ;
But i want to specify the font used,size and color for that text.
When i try the code mentioned in indesign javascript scripting guide
myNewText .appliedFont = app.fonts.item("Times New Roman");
myNewText .fontStyle = "Bold";
nothing gets changed and font family already used stays the same.
How can i do that only for the added text and not for the whole content?I dont want to add the text to a new text frame I want to append it to the existing text frame.
And is there a way to specify font size too?
thank you

There's a mixup going on here. Let's see if we can sort out some of it
at least.
If you just want to add new text to an already existing text frame,
that's easy:
myTextFrame.contents += "Hello";
But if you want the new text to have unique formatting, it's a little
more complicated.
There are two simple ways to do it, I think:
1. Create a temporary text frame, as you have done, and add the text,
and format everything in there. Then move() that formatted text to the
end of myTextFrame and delete the temporary frame:
tempFrame = app.activeDocument.textFrames.add();
tempFrame.contents = "New Text";
tempFrame.paragraphs[0].appliedFont = app.fonts.itemByName("Times New
Roman"); // etc...
tempFrame.paragraphs[0].move(myTextFrame.insertionPoints[-1],
LocationOptions.AFTER);
tempFrame.remove();
2. The other option, is to add the text directly to your textFrame. But
if you want to format only that text, you have to store where the text
started:
myTextFrame = app.selection[0];
firstInsertionPoint = myTextFrame.insertionPoints[-1].index;
myTextFrame.contents += "New Text";
myAddedText =
myTextFrame.characters.itemByRange(myTextFrame.insertionPoints[firstInsertionPoint],
myTextFrame.insertionPoints[-1]);
myAddedText.appliedFont = app.fonts.itemByName("Trajan Pro"); // etc.
What you've done in your sample script, however, is to try to apply a
font to a simple JavaScript string. It won't work, but the way you did
it, it won't throw an error either, because in fact you've created a new
property of your string. (myString = "Hello"; myString.appliedFont =
"Times"; // myString now has a Javascript property called appliedFont --
but that's nothing to do with InDesign!)

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

I recently bought Photoshop CC (2 Days Ago) and shortly after installing I jumped onto Photoshop CC and started to set up the prefferences for my personal use and started to just do some basic stuff and see whats new in CC. when inserting Guides & adding Text the workspace started to flash/stay BLACK. I don't know whats going on but my specs are better than the minimum requirements? Any idea whats going on? Operating System : Windows 8.1

Have a look through this step by step guide.

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.

Why does text box move when I open pages doc on my friend's mac?

Hi Everyone,
So I have this very vexing problem with pages. I have been trying to collaborate with a friend of mine and everytime the pages document moves from one computer to the other the text boxes move terribly out of place. So for example, I will make a document and format it perfectly on my computer. Then I will email it to her (or put it up on dropbox or yousendit or zip it and email it) and without fail when she opens it on her computer the text boxes have moved and the document looks horrible, all my design work is totally wasted. The same thing happens if she starts a document on her end and then gives it to me.
Does anyone have any experience with this? Any suggestions?
Oh and by the way we are both running OS 10.8.2 and Pages 4.3
Thanks in advance!

Hi Swati,
That was a shot in the dark. I remember that the now obsolete MacDraw would reset its margins to suit different printers. I had the thought that because Pages page layout seems similar to MacDraw, it was doing the same. I don't have a printer, so my print settings don't tell me much. Maybe Page Setup or the Print dialogue?
Let's hope that someone else has more ideas.
Regards,
Ian.

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 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.
