Aligning Text in Credit Roll

I've tried searching, but haven't had any luck.
What I'm trying to do is align the text so that the left column is right margin flush and the right column is left margin flush and the entire block is centered (the far left and right margins will be ragged
Like this....
Thanks!

Thank you, Ann. Looks easy enough.
I'll give it a shot.

LiveType Credit Roll Text Blurry Shaking in DVD Studio Pro Completed SD

I first created text scrolling directly from inside FCP. The texts appear shaking/blurry in the exported MOV. After trying different font family/size but still getting the same bad result, I did more research. I then created the credit roll in LiveType, imported that into FCP. This time, the exported finished MOV looks great on computer. I thought this is the right fix but after I got everything done in DVD Studio Pro and burned a SD to test on my 50" screen SONY, the credit roll part is again shaking and blurry!! This really drove me nuts!! Well, other texts that I created both in FCP and LiveType appear just fine!! I am trying to export the credit roll texts part as self-contained mov then import back to FCP but really suspect this will fix the problem.
That part of rolling credit texts were shaking in DVD Pro simulation but I thought that's only becuase it was not the final product. Any help will be greatly appreciated!
p.s. I spent the past few hours googling and tried different methods but still had no luck...:(
Thanks in advance!

Ok...I just export a MOV with ONLY the credit roll encoded using QuickTime conversion, change the compression type to Uncompressed 8-Bit 4:2:2 which was supposed to retain the graphic/text quality better than normal setting. The completed credit roll still look shaking, however. It's white text on black, yeah I know not the best combo but there must be a way to get the text to not shake/blur...no?
Please help, if anyone could.
Many thanks...

How to smooth out a credit roll

Hi,
Using FCP X on a MacBook Pro and haveing touble creating a smooth credit roll.

… Your comment on motion blur for fast scrolling text - sounds interesting, … . Would appreciate if you could expand on that just a bit.
… hmm, well, I'm not sure my translation of a very special term is correct:
It's about 'Winkelgeschwindigkeit/angular speed'.
Means, the speed of an object ON THE 'FILM', not in real life.
(yepp, digital has no film… sensor area)
example:
the lower pic demoes little differences btw. each 'frame' = smooth motion
the upper pic demoes big differences btw each frame = stutter.
the bigger deltas occur due to higher speed of object, or faster movement of cam (e.g. pan), or lower frame-rates (30 vs 60fps)
'stutter', because the eye cannot 'smoothen' the 'jumps' of the object per frame to frame.
now, motion blurr:
the frame itself is blurred, but the motion is noticed as 'smooth', in flow ....
(hard to explain such a complicated issue in a foreign language! )
higher frame-rates, lower angular-speeds (object vs. camera ratio), OR longer shutter-speeds (to create natural motion-blurr, that infamous 'film-look' -not 24fps, but the then optional, very low 1/48th shutter-speed creates the look!) .......
and: angular-speed, because, when the object moves fast straight in axis to camera (or, vice versa, the camera to object....), it doesn't matter; does the object moves fast 90° across the cam axis (or cam pans, or ... yougottheidea ) speed creates bigger (unwanted) effects.
same with a scrolling text:
in case, the scroll is fast, each line of text 'jumps' from position #1 to #2.
When you add 'motion blurr' the text, it looks smooth. although un-sharp!
hope, I was able to explain....
that is cinematography … next step beyond photography.

Credit Rolls in Keynote?

Not sure if anyone might have an idea how to pull this off, but I need to create something equivalent to a motion picture credit roll in keynote v4.
For purposes of testing, figure a text document of 100+ lines (roughly 2,000 words) needs to be pasted into a Keynote document. Then animated to "roll" from bottom to top fluidly - for selected periods of time. There should be controls for variable speeds.
Assuming that can be accomplished, the frosting on top would be to have the text rolling over a looping animated background.
Thanks for your help in advance.

This kind of animation shouldn't be very taxing on the system, so I'm not sure that it will be hardware-limited in any fashion. And I'm sure there are other folks who are more expert on the nuts-and-bolts of KN performance issues than I am. That said, my guess is that with enough RAM, hard drive performance should not be an issue at all, and that given the relative simplicity of the animation, neither GPU nor processor speed should matter much. I'd advise, as is usual with OS X, to put as much RAM in your system, whatever it is, and you should see pretty good KN performance (with the exception of some specific transitions and animations that require a fancier GPU). I have also found anecdotally that KN performance is greatly helped by running through the presentation immediately prior to presenting it publicly -- it seems as if an initial run caches the presentation, making further runs much smoother.

Credit Roll never appears?

i'm using FCP studio 2 on a dual 1.67 MDD and a 128bit ATI Rage Pro card. not sure if those are the culprits, but when i use credit roll and then render it...nothing. no text is there. if I double click the credit roll and open it viewer, go to controls, then the text is there. any ideas?

definitely checked it. this is a weird bug. i've seen these types of issues whenever a new OS update comes out or a new FCP update. This crawl stopped working after the latest round of updates were installed; 10.5.7, pro update, etc.

Clean Credit Roll

I'm trying to build a clean credit roll that does not flutter or pulsate. FCP basic text credit roll is not very stable. I tried to go via the photoshop > after effect route, but that also yielded something that is not the most solid. Maybe my settings are off. Any tips, ideas or suggestions?
Thanks,

Adam Wilt covers this at
http://www.adamwilt.com/Tidbits.html
in the Character Generators & Titling section.
The speed of the scrolling is key:
Here's a quote:
You may have noticed a pattern here. When the roll rate (in lines/second)
was the same as the field rate (in fields/second), the roll looked awful.
When the roll rate was twice the field rate, things looked fine. As it turns
out, this relationship holds for all integer multiples: roll rates that are odd
multiples of the field rate look awful. Even multiples look great. Thus for
525/59.94 (or 525/60, more or less) video, good roll rates are 120, 240,
360, and the like. In 625/50, the good ones are 100, 200, 300, 400,
and so on.
This means you need to do some maths to work out how many pixels per second you need make your credits move - and how to make FCP make it happen. After Effects includes readouts that tell you how many pixels per second layers move. It gives you more direct control over that sort of thing. The Scrolling Text generator reminds me of the way Avid's titler does it: seeming control without the ability to set parameters you need to set directly.

Regarding Text in Credit note

Dear All,
I have taken 5 Materials from Customers ( Returns ) and raised Retruns sales order / Delivery and Credit Memo.
In my credit note i have to get the text as " Credit note towards customer returns order number XXXXXXX "
i.e. on the print of the Credit note i have to get as above how to do this.
Can any one help on this ?
Siva

Hi ,
It can be done thru text determination. Once this is done assign output determination to the credit memo.
Then your desired text would come into output.
Text forms a basic but essential need within document processing. Using text determination, one can automatically copy a text line from one text object to another, such as from a CMD to a sales doc.
SPRO- IMG- SD- Basic Functions- Partner Determination- Define Partner Functions.
The SD module is used in the text determination for the following text objects:
     Customer
o     Central texts: KNA1: (texts entered in Extras Texts) in the CMD from one of the general screens
o     Accounting texts: KNB1
o     Text concerning the contact persons: KNVK: (Extras- Texts from the contact persons screen of the CMD
o     Sales & Distbn texts: KNVV (texts entered in Extras- Texts) in the CMD from one of the sales screens.
o     KNMT: text defined for the cust mat info record.
     Sales Document
o     Header texts: VBBK: the preceding sales doc where text is defined as header text. For e.g., if the preceding doc is a quote copied in to a del, the VBBK refers to a quote.
o     Item texts: VBBP: preceding sales doc ITEM where the text is copied at the item level.
     Delivery
o     Header texts
o     Item texts
     Billing Document
o     Header texts
o     Item texts
     MVKE: texts from the sales text screen in the CMD. For MVKE, there is only one text ID0001 that refers to the text in the MMR text screen
     TEXT: this refers to standard text that applies across the system (that is, it is not specific to a doc, customer, or material). The text ID in this case must be ST. When you select this text object in the access sequence, an additional field will open for you to enter the name of the standard text. This is the name you give text from Logistics Screen, proceed to Tools, Word Processing, Standard Text (SO10)

How can I align text in Acrobat 8.1 Professional?

Okay this is quite silly, but seriously how can I align text in adobe acrobat? I could not find a way other than creating a new document file which allows me to use alignment options automatically (example below), however does not allow me that when I reopen the same file (alignment and text options just dissapear on the bars, funny). Help anyone please? =/
http://img152.imageshack.us/my.php?image=examplemo2.jpg

Not that silly; but you ideally shouldn't be trying. Although there are some rudimentary (and sometimes unpredictable) editing tools in Acrobat, (I presume you are trying with the TouchUp Object tool as well as the TouchUp Text ?) much better to get it right in the source application and think of the pdf as what it basically is...a print.
For whatever reason, v5 could edit text positioning rather more easily than the later versions.

Problems Aligning Text in Headers and Footers

I have tried to add headers and footers to documents and the alignment is wrong. The center footer/header should be center-aligned and the right header/footer should be right-aligned. Unfortunately, they are both left-aligned.
The preview shows the headers and footers aligned correctly, but when the headers/footers are inserted in the document, the alignment reverts to left aligned, although it is centered and on the right side of the page, as appropriate.
This is not a problem in Acrobat 7.
Please advise if this is a bug and is awaiting an update, or if there is something that I need to do to fix this problem.
This is a screen shot of the preview windowindicating the proper alignment as indicated in the ovals:
Here is the actual document once the header and footer are added. Notice how the alignment switches to flush left:
Any guidance is appreciated.
Thanks.

Nope. The good folks at Adobe have neither addressed this issue (and I have
heard from others that it is a problem for them as well) nor have they been
very good about maintaining my account to be able to log in and follow up on
it.
The truth of the matter is that it appears to be a glitch in some, but not
all, versions of this product and clearly it is not a big enough problem for
them to want to fix it.
I wind up using Acrobat 7 when I need properly formatted headers and footers
or and this ought to get the attention of the folks at Adobe and maybe
prompt someone (anyone!) to take a look and fix this glitch you should
check out PDFPen. It does much of what Adobe can do including headers and
footers.
If I didn't already have Acrobat 7 (and 8 and now 9), I would ditch Acrobat
and just use Preview or PDFPen.

How to align text at the top and bottom of a cell?

I'm making a periodic table and need help with aligning text at the top and bottom of a cell. I'll have a picture in the middle of the cell with text above and below the pic. Thank you in advance for any kind of suggestions you can give me.

It sounds as though you want to have 3 separate items inside of a single cell; text at the top of the cell, text at the bottom of the cell, and then a picture in the middle of the cell. I am no expert, but to my knowledge that is not possible (someone please correct me if I am wrong.) I also cannot figure out how to put a picture inside of a cell itself.
I do have a way to accomplish the end result so long as what you need is the final look and not a useable table in numbers.
Create 2-3 cells for each element. (The middle cell, unless you can put pictures in a cell and I don't know, would just be there for peace of mind, but would hold the picture if you can, I would just do two if the pictures are to be in front of the cell anyway.) The top cell align text to top on the Text tab of the inspector. The bottom cell, align text to bottom on the same tab. Then place the picture in the middle. Now, you have what you want except there is one or two lines dividing the cells. To get rid of this, either click the middle cell if you have one, or the top or bottom cell. Click on the Cell tab of the inspector. Select the bottom border and/or top border button and select "No Border" under border styles. To make this fast, select a full row at a time, or use command click to select all of the same type of rows (middle, top, or bottom) and change all cells at once.
I hope this helps. Best of luck!

How to align text to another text box

I am very new to Indesign and I am signed up to Lynda.com so watching few a lot of tutorials, that said I need help with aligning text.
I have a text box that is 100mm across. It has text centered. "£5"
then above this I have in a smaller font saying "from"
from
£5
I need to get the "f" of from to line up with the beginning of the £ sign? So that If I change the price to £500 the from sticks to the "£" Sign.
To explain again the from needs to align to the left of the centred text.?
Hope that make sense?
Matt

This can be done by putting the "from" text into a custom positioned anchored object just before the £ sign. You'll need to set the X coordinate relative to the anchor, and adjust the offset on both x and y to get the positioning where you want it.
I'm sure there are lessons on Anchored Objects on Lynda.com.

How to Align Text in the TextArea

How to Align text in the TextArea. My purpose is that I want to post the records after retrieving from database. All the records in each fields should keep aligned like Oracle WorkSheet.
I want this way
Code Name Place City
a01 nilopher swiss street japan
a02 rozina lovely street aus
a03 benazir king's camp pitsburg
and the out put should not look like this :-
Code Name Place City
a01 nilopher swiss street japan
a02 rozina lovely street aus
a03 benazir king's camp pitsburg
here place and city records are getting disturbed accordingly the length of name.

Well, first off (if it's not default, that is) you must set a monospaced font on the TextArea, unless you want to count pixelwidth of each and every string and then do an estimate on how many fill blanks you want...
If you have the each string as a line, you use a StringTokenizer on it, extract each token, put all the tokens for that line into an array of strings.
When every line is done, you compare the length of the nth String of each array and save the highest numbers.
Then you reassemble each line from the arrays and pad in spaces where the tokens are too short.

Cannot Align text in cell

Greetings,
I am having issues when trying to format my spreadsheet. First of all, I have "Wrap Text in Cell" option turned on. So when I have text that can fit into the cell, its fine. But when I have long text in the cell, it wraps the text in the cell so it can fit inside, which I'm fine with.... but for some reason, it is not aligning it in the cell properly, so now part of the text it cut off. I try to center align the text, but no use. I hit the button for "Align text in the middle of the table cell", and still does not align the text so that its centered, not cut off. I have included an image of what im talking about. Help please?

Is it possible to use tabs to right align text in Muse, as you can in InDesign?

Can I use tabs to right align text in Muse, as you can in InDesign?
I have a beauty treatment followed by a price and I want to right align the price, keeping the treatment on the left of the text box.
Thank you!

For what would typically be a two column tab stop layout, I'd generally use inline text frames and the Wrap panel.
Put the price in it's own text frame. Then cut and paste the text frame BEFORE the item name so it's an inline text frame within the text frame containing the descriptions.Using the Wrap panel set it to float to the right. Then select it and set the right offset so it floats outside the right side of the original text frame.
Start with this.
Cut and paste the text frame at the start of the item paragraph.
Choose the third icon in the Wrap panel to cause the item to float to the right of the text frame.
Turn off the lock for the 4 wrap offset values.
Adjust the right offset to a negative value so the item is outside the text frame to the right (to wherever you want it).
Repeat the same steps above for the other items.
Note that once it's set up this way you can freely edit the descriptions or change the width of the original text frame and the prices will adjust accordingly. This will also result in things lining up in the browser even if the text layout engine of a specific browser line breaks the text differently.
This approach is tedious, but the end result will continue to line up as you make changes in Design view and will line up in every browser/OS/device.
Someday Muse will support tables, which would be the more natural way to achieve this style of layout on the web. Until then, inline items with wrap is usually the best approach for this type of two column layout.
