An addendum to Scrolling text problem

Please, if anyone knows some basic component stuff, I'm
really stuck, and I don't know why. When I add a UI scrollbar to
the side of my text field, it appears without the scrolling arrows.
It will work horizontally at the top of the text field, but not
while anchored to the side. I need to find out how to create a
vertical-scrolling text field, either with the scrollbar component,
or Actionscript. I am a beginner, but I have been trying different
things for a couple of hours now. Please, any suggestions would
help.
Thanks for your time.

Problem with Java scrolling text window on Mac OS

The Java scrolling text window created by AWT "TextArea" scrolls in the normal way from the top on Windows, whereas it scrolls from the bottom on the Mac OS. That is, the text file is first displayed from the bottom on Mac, so that the user has to scroll to the top of the file each time a new page is opened, which is a very nuisance. Have you run into this problem and do you know how to over-ride the Mac OS default? Many thanks.

TextAreas suck in general, this has been discussed many time in the forum. As a duct-tape fix, you might play around with setCaretPosition() after inserting your new text. Good luck

Scrolling Text Frame Problema

No me sale la opcion Scrollable Frame

Quiero hacer lo que este tutorial hace, pero no puedo continuar cuando justo usa esta opción.
Que se supone que tengo que hacer???

I cant see the option Scrollable Frame
When I open the overlay creator panel Common options I listed all except SCROLLING TEXT FRAME.
I want to do what this tutorial does, but I can not continue when just using this option.
What are we supposed that I have to do?

That video is accurate. After you paste the content frame into the container frame, select the container frame (not the content frame), and then the Scrollable Frames option should appear in the Overlays panel when you scroll down.

Scrolling text is jumpy/pulsing when compressed

I'm making end credits using the scroll up text animation behavior in Motion 2.1.2. Whenever I compress it for DVD Studio Pro and insert it the text looks terrible. It is pulsing in and out and is hardly readable. I found a few other people who have had this problem, but no solutions that have helped.
I have done credits using the scrolling text in Final Cut without much problem, but for this project I need motion in order to use text of different sizes.
Here are my specs:
Project Properties - NTSC DV; 720x480; Pixel Aspect Ratio: NTSC D1/DV - 0.90; Field Order: Lower First (Even); Frame Rate: 29.97; Background color is black (0%)
Render Settings - Motion Blur Samples: 8; Shutter Angle: 360; Output Antialiasing Method: Best
I used Export using Compressor: DVD Best Quality 90 minutes 4:3; I tried using the Color+Alpha and just Color in the Output options. Premultiply alpha and Use field render are both checked. Use motion blur is not checked.
Most of the text is Geneva Regular 14 pt font. I have tried completely white as well as setting the RGB sliders all at 235 with no difference. I also tried using a black outline with no difference. The scroll up behavior has a rate of 52.
Please help! It took me forever to put these credits together and I don't want to start from scratch with another program. Making the text bigger helps a little bit but I would really like to keep it the same size for timing and format sake. However, I can't keep it like this because it looks terrible both on an Apple Cinema display and on a tv after burned to DVD.
Thanks!

My first guess would be the font itself. Geneva is a pretty thin font and it's not likely to look good interlaced and on a TV. Can you try a thicker font?
I'd also turn off Field Rendering. It looked much worse with it on than off. Keep Frame Blending though.

HT201109 Final Cut Pro 10.1 crashes with Motion 5.1 custom Scrolling text and Graphics titles

Dec 29, 2013 1:33 PM
found out why Final Cut 10.1 won't load my custom titles without crashing. When scrolling text in Motion 5.1 if you ad a graphic to scroll with the text Final Cut 10.1 will crash. If I remove the graphic in Motion and then load it into Final Cut 10.1 it will work.
So Graphics and scrolling do not work. The graphics are .jpg, .png, .tiff, .psd. I don't know how to fix it. Hopefully someone out there does.

Thanks Tom for the advice. I have four external hard disks, all of them formatted with Mac OS Extended Journaled. On all devices (2TB) I have more than half free space. They are connected either with Thunderbolt or USB3 cables. Different manufactures: LaCie, Toshiba, WD and Samsung. I face the same crash problem if I connect a UBS drive 16GB or a any other device to the USB ports including the Sony Video camera connected with a USB1 cable. Same problem on ALL my computers! To work properly, I have to disconnect all USB devices and work only with internal hard disks. I also tried to format the MacbookPro (erasing the partitions with a new installation) but I have the same problem. I really lost hope...

Possible to show bottom of scrolling text first when icon is displayed?

Hi,
Does anyone know if it is possible to show the bottom of
scrolling text when the display comes up? For instance, let's say
you have 20 lines of text in a scrolling display, but it only has
room for 10. By default, Authorware shows the top 10 lines in the
scrolled display, not the bottom 10. I want to show the bottom
10--is this possible?
Thanks,
Edwin

Hi,
Well, I decided to have the most current information at the
top of the display. For instance, if it were a chat, the most
current chat info would be on top instead of on bottom. That fixed
the problem adequately.

Scrolling Text Box question

I'm changing a site for a friend. She wants to add a scrolling text box with a bio of herself on the grid we're already using on her page. The problems I'm having are it's difficult to resize the box once on the grid (you can't) and I keep missing anything that looks like the ability to scroll up and down on the text box. I'm sure I'm missing something which is why I'm here. :-)
Thanks in advance! :-)

check out the overflow:scroll command in the css - I'm not sure how this works with grids, however - but it could be a starting point....
hope this helps

Help with Scrolling Text

I am a big iMovie fan, but I have just had a problem while attempting to create a video game trailer. I have never experienced this before, and I do not know how to get by it.
Ok. So I have 20 seconds of scrolling text, and about 28 lines of text. 247 characters with no spaces if you really want to know. I have 20 seconds of video behind it.
Here's the problem: The last five lines of text are cut off. They are completely normal: Helvectia, Bold, 16 size, Left sided, white. There is no fancy text or images around it besides for the video behind it. (It played fine before with no video behind it).
I've tried resizing the video, the text length, everything I can think of, and nothing works. Please help ASAP.
I am running this on a MacBook, iMovie '08, the total time of video is 41 seconds. The video behind the scrolling text is a .mov file.
Thanks!

Note: The problem seems to have fixed itself. I do not know what the problem was, but I was messing around with the text and I noticed the missing lines were back. If anybody knows what the problem was, or wants to contribute to this post, please do so.
Thanks!

Flicker on Scrolling Text

I have a problem with flicker on scrolling text in a movie after the DVD has been burned (on the computer monitor or TV it doesn't matter). Before burning but after encoding, the movie plays the MPEG file fine with no flicker. Even with DVDSP simulation there is no flicker. DVD is doing something to the movie when burning. What could that be?
The movie was encoded and burned all with up-to-date Apple software. The text is san-serif and plenty large enough.
Thank you,
Phil

Yeah, I know what you mean.
You using the Scrolling Text from FCP or in Live Type?
My experiences using Scrolling Text from Video Generators>Text>Scrolling Text from FCP hasn't been too great. To minimize the flicker, I drop a de-interlace filter on the text, and that seems to help a bit.
Another thing that I do is keyframe individual texts (created in either FCP or Live Type), and fake the scroll that way. FCP or Motion can do this.
And I've been wanting to try this, but haven't yet. Create a Photoshop document with the dimensions of the width of the video screen (720 Pixels Wide for DV) and make it as long as it needs to be. Be sure to have a transparent background, and begin laying out the text as you want it. then import it into FCP. Keyframe the .psd to make it scroll how you want it.
Don't know if those will help, but those are things that I do.

Horizontal Scroll Text

I found a cool new font and would like to scroll text like a
news ticker. I have created my dynamic text box, set it up the way
i want the text to look, and set it to scroll. I know how to write
the code for a vertical scroll, how would i set it up to scroll
horizontally?
the text in the text box wants to set itself up as vertical
lines instead of horizontally as well. How can i change that?
Thanks for the help.
Josh

Here's some code for a horizontal text scroller I just threw
together.
horizontal_txt.autoSize = "left";
horizontal_txt.text = "Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of
the printing and
typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's
standard dummy
text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a
galley of type and
scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived
not only five
centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting,
remaining
essentially unchanged.";
var intervalId:Number;
function scrollMe():Void {
horizontal_txt._x -=20;
if (horizontal_txt._x <= -horizontal_txt.textWidth) {
horizontal_txt._x = 550;
intervalId = setInterval(this, "scrollMe", 100);
Basically, I'm just moving the text box -20 pixels in the _x
position each
time the function is called (you can mask it if you'd like).
Once it determines that the inverse of the width of the text
in the textbox
is less than or equal to it's _x position, it resets the
textbox back to the
right edge of the play area.
To test, just make a dynamic, single line textbox named
horizontal_txt and
place it at 550 on the stage.
You could get more sophisticated and have an array of news
that it cycles
through, and have it pause if the mouse of over, etc. I'm
sure you've seen
those things before.
Anyway...let me know if you have any problems implementing.

"Set the text of member" stutters scroll text...

Hi!
I have a presentation with some text members and a scroll
text.
The scroll text is scrolled like this:
if scrollMessageActive = "True" then
scrollPos = scrollPos + scrollSpeed
if scrollPos >= member ("TXT_ScrollMessage").height -
Sprite(52).height then
scrollpos = 0
end if
member ("TXT_ScrollMessage").scrollTop = scrollPos
end if
This is scrolling fluently as long as I don't change any of
the other
text members. If I do so, the scroll message starts to
stutter - looks
line the update of the texts takes too much time.
Is there a solution for this?
Thanks!
Martin

Changing the text of a member is a reasonable thing to do.
You could
also just change members. The problem is most likely in the
way that you
are doing the changing.
If you are running a repeat loop then the that will stop
everything else
that is going on in your movie. In Lingo, repeat loops don't
run
simultaneously, they take over and stop every other Lingo
action until
they have finished.
If you post your code, it might be possible to suggest an
alternative
method.

Green shadows when scrolling text after calibration

Hello, I'm having strange screen behavior after calibrating it (I'm using Spyder 3 hardware with both its own software and ColorEyes DisplayPro).
What happens is that when the screen is correctly calibrated I get annoying green shadows when I'm scrolling text. This actually happens whenever there's a "moving-high contrast" situation (for example, if i'm opening a folder and screen pixels change luminance quickly) and of course in a multitude of different applications.
I also uploaded a video to youtube to show the situation.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oaNF4i0djFM&feature=youtu.be
As you may notice, when I choose the standard color profile (uncalibrated) the behavior disappears (0:32 in the video). When I revert to the calibrated profile it comes back.
I think something might be wrong with my screen (which, by the way, is out of its applecare warranty since two weeks ago...).

Does this still happen if you run Firefox in Safe Mode?
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window or otherwise make changes.

N8 Internet Radio no scrolling text since Belle up...

Since I have updated my N8 to Nokia Belle (v.111.030.0609) the scrolling information text no longer functions in Nokia Internet Radio v.3.05(0). It scrolled song titles etc on each station screen and within the widget. I have tried deleting and reinstalling the app but still no scrolling text.
Any advice of how to solve the problem of the missing text would be very much appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi Guys,
Funny AND very revealing of the current change of politics in Nokia:
Yesterday I wanted to find a safe way, using small roads therefore, to commute to work by bike, using NOKIA Maps on my N8 running Belle. I thought I’d use waypoints on the route to make it easy to choose small auxiliary roads. And oooooh surprise ! a bad surprise : the route points feature has disappeared ! then I look deeper and the useful weather, or Michelin, travel advisor widgets have disappeared too !
So my question, more general than just specific points i.e route points in maps or Artists name in Internet Radio, Is Mr Nokia making a fool of their users by providing a shinny brand new system, Symbian Belle, but with a decreasing software quality ???!!!
I will place an enquiry on that to the Dev team of Maps too, but I’m seriously upset, I just invested in a new Nokia not because they are sooo much better but because I believe in Made in Finland == made in Europe (minimum relocation) + free software politics unlike apple ie Nokia maps etc…
But seriously now, Im just tempted to selle my Nokia and buy an Android phone on which I’ll buy a proper GPS or use a free one.
Last but Not least I tried installing Google Maps (latest version 4.1.1) that crashed at every attempts after about 2 seconds running… Utterly upsetting !
Is Symbian Belle so good then ????
Route points did get removed (for whatever reason) in maps 3.08, but has been reintroduced in the current Beta version which is available at http://betalabs.nokia.com/apps/nokia-maps-suite, which also includes the guides. Also available is a homescreen weather widget at http://betalabs.nokia.com/apps/weather-widget (you would need maps suite 2 installed first). My experience of these Beta apps is that they are stable but it's up to you whether you choose to install or wait until they complete testing and get released.
There does seem to be an issue with Google maps, in that WiFi must be enabled even if not connected in order for it to run. Hopefully Google will release an update.
I'm also considering getting rid of my N8, but only because the 808 looks so good. Belle may not be perfect, but if there was a way to hack my android tablet in order to get belle running on it, I would do so
N8-00 pc059C9F6 Belle

Quality of scrolling text

I am entering a contest that only allows for 250mb max. When I look at the scrolling text in the film once the movie has been uploaded to the contest's website, it looks pretty bad. Can I alter any of the expert settings above (or not mentioned) to specifically increase the quality and appearance of the scrolling text?
I compressed the movie using expert settings:
Movie to Quicktime Movie
VIDE0: H. 264, Quality: best, encoding mode: multi pass; dimensions: 320x240, scale: letterbox
AUDIO: Format ACC; sample rate: 32,000kHz, Channels: stereo (L R); bit rate: 80 Kbps
FAST START (Prepare for Internet Streaming).

If that's the only problem, another option is to use a thicker, san serif font like Arial so there's less to degrade during the video compression process.
If they allow Flash or DivX formats, both of those can be high quality but small file size.
