Background in boris

Hey guys:
I'm in Boris and doing black type.
How do I change the background to white so I
can see what it looks like when I hit apply.
Right now I hit apply and in the viewer I get black text
with black background.
Thanks

There is a button in the viewer and browser with what looks like a viewfinder outline (broken box) It's the 3rd from the right at the top of the window. Click that and you can choose white as the bg colour.
Better still, just place the title over whatever it's going to be over in the timeline.
EDIT FOR MORE EXPLAINATION
In order to have your black text actually play back over a white bg, you'll have to add a white element (colour matte, or other clip created with whatever) to the track beneath the text track. Choosing white as the bg in the browser or viewer is only a bg for viewing purposes. If you render and play, it will still be black.

  • Pausing a sequence of text and images

    Ok, I have 6 tabs down the side of the main screen where
    users can hover over to select which tab to view. All they do is
    hover to select the tab - no clicking. The sequence changes from
    tab to tab sequentially (if a tab is selected then the sequence
    just carries on from the tab that was selected. So it starts on tab
    1 if the user hover over tab 4 then after that tab information is
    displayed for 5 seconds then tab 5 will play then 6...) with each
    tab having its individual text and images.
    My problem is that I want the whatever tab the user is
    hovering over to stay. So I will only want the sequence to carry on
    running when the user has not got the cursor on a tab.
    I am at the stage at the moment where I can select any of the
    tabs (they are buttons) by hovering over them by using the goto
    text, then the sequence continues. I need the sequence to stay
    until the cursor is off the tab. One other thing, each tab is set
    to display for 5 seconds before it changes again.
    Someone please help. I feel as though this may be quite an
    easy problem to solve?!?
    Thanks

    Priscilla,
    I routinely combine 10 lines of 36 pt bible or lecture text to a suitable background using Boris Title 3D.
    Many times the text is too long to fit the screen using Boris, so I devide it into 2 or more parts with no transition between sections.
    In my case, the text is on the screen as the speaker quotes them.

  • How can I combine a lot of text and images on the same screen?

    How can I combine a lot of text and images on the same screen?  I can get a couple of words on the screen with a graphic but not 10 lines.  I need 10 lines on the page with the image.

  • Boris - background for text

    Hello! I have Tom Wolsky's DVD and book - read and watched once each, but somehow missed how to do this, if I can.
    Using Boris for text - how can I add a rectangle of color behind the text, to help it stand out from the video behind it? Can I adjust the opacity so the video shows through?
    I hope I've explained this well enough.
    Even if you can tell me where to read in the book "Final Cut Express 4" Editing Workshop - or where to watch on the FCE Made Easy DVD - that would help!
    Or do I need to use LiveType for this?

    Hi -
    To do this:
    !http://www.spotsbeforeyoureyes.com/BorisRectShow.jpg!
    Do this:
    !http://www.spotsbeforeyoureyes.com/BorisTextStack.jpg!
    Place your background video on V1.
    Place your Text on V3.
    Get a color background from the Generator button (lower right hand corner of the Viewer, marked with an "A") select Matte>Color and place that color on V2.
    Double click the color clip you just placed on V2 and in the viewer click on the motion tab.
    Open the Crop pane by clicking on the little triangle next to the word "Crop". Adjust the sliders to get the rectangle cropped the way you want it. You can also adjust the softness of the edge of the rectangle.
    Open the Opacity pane by clicking on the little triangle next to the word "Opacity".
    Adjust the opacity to your liking.
    You will probably have to render the effect to see it play properly.
    Hope this helps.

  • Difference in background colour for methods in BOR

    Hi Experts,
    I have a question regarding background for methods and attributes in BOR usually pink,red and white can anyone tell me the difference.I tried in google and also in SDN but couldnt find the answer.Please dont get annoyed if my question is very silly.Thanks in advance.
    Cheers,
    Srini...

    A good question which any one would have thought regarding this, any ways
    Upto my knowledge
    1. Red color : When ever you try to inherit any interface into your BOR then the methods which are included into your bor will be represented by READ and you cannot implement them
    2. Pink color : The interfaces and the attributes which are included into you BOR will apear in Pink
    3. White Color: the one which you created int he BOR and you have full authorities to change , IMplement and release. where  you don't have this option with other colors.

  • Dynamic background behind text?

    At the present time I am creating my bible texts externally using a pleasant background, and saving as a JPEG. I superimpose this over the video. This works very well, but I would like to use a moving background at times.
    The problem with the JPEG superimpose method is when I resize the text in the canvas, the background is also resized.
    This question is probably located somewhere in the documentation, but so far I have not found it.

    You can do all of this in FCE -
    • Place your jpeg photo (just the photo, no text) in your sequence.
    • Place a text generator clip (Boris Title 3D, Lower Third, etc.) on the next higher video track, above the photo. (If your photo is on V2, put the text clip above it on V3 ...)
    • You can then modify/adjust the picture and the text independently.
    Note: you may need to add a track - just drag your clip into the grey area above the existing video tracks and a new track will be added; or Control-click in the grey area above the existing video tracks and then click Add Track.

  • Unaligning background behind text

    I put a background behind my headline text, but when i preview, the background jumps about 4 rows away from the text, whats going on
    I had initially applied character style before dropping the coloured box behind.

  • Problem with importing a Motion project into FCP if it uses a Boris filter

    Had an odd and highly frustrating experience. Was using a Boris Continuum filter (the posterizing one) on the background of a Motion project (was using it to age a background of a brick wall to age it and give it a more 'nighttime' look).
    When I imported the file into FCP to use as an intro there, the background disappeared entirely. After an hour of troubleshooting, finally figured out that it was the Boris filter that was causing the problem (it also was probably responsible for the random crashing of FCP I was experiencing), as when I disabled the filter and re-saved the project, it worked beautifully.
    Is this a 'normal' problem when using Boris filters? Do I have to export every Motion project into a Quicktime file before importing it to FCP (and possibly DVDSP) if it uses a Boris filter?

    Thanks! Now the frustrating thing is that the client doesn't want to use what I created after all...bah humbug
    It's not the RAM (which is either 8GB or 16....not sure on that computer). Got an e-mail from Boris Support that implied that this will happen all the time...that you have to export all projects before you use them in FCP or DVDSP or the Continuum filters won't work (loved how the support person suggested that I just use the filter in FCP...which defeats the purpose of creating something in Motion! But I digress...) Told me I had to buy a $500 program called Automatic Duck to get things to import properly...and that Boris filters won't work with the latest upgrade of FCP, btw.

  • Text Colors in Boris 3D

    I cannot control colors in Boris Title 3D. Open Boris Title 3D. Click Options and get the window to enter text. Enter text. Highlight the text. Click Style Palette and get the Style Palette window. Click Color. On dropdown, select zColors.clr. Just above the count item, are three icons: Add Style, Rename Style, and Edit Selected Style. The last two are grayed out. Scroll down the colors on the right (two finger scroll doesn't work) and click on AquaBlue. The two grayed out icons are now active but nothing else happens. Double click AquaBlue. Same result. X out of colors and click Apply. In the viewer, click video. Background is black and text is white. What to do? Thank you

    First reset the Style palette. Go to the third tab on the left, the color tab. Make sure text fill is set to color. Use the eyedropper to suck the color from the style palette.

  • Title 3D Background Changes

    When working with Boris Title 3D, how does on change the background color? Also, is there a way to see the changes in real time?
    Thank you,
    Lyman

    Use a color matte and put it on the layer underneath the title.
    Only in the Tile 3D window, not over the video until you press the apply button. Geometry controls are in real-time and will update in the Canvas as you do them.

  • Boris Title 3D in FCP

    Hello,
    I am trying to type in about a paragraph of text into the 3d Title in FCP3. Is there a limit to how much text you can put in there. Once I am back on the timeline I get the beach ball
    any time I click on that title. Can't resize etc.., I have chosen to put the text over a white background not black.
    The text is from a PDF that doesn't look good in FCP once on DVD.
    Thanks,
    Al

    You don't say how much ram you have but yes, A lot of text will slow down the Boris text tool. Make sure you don't have any other attributes turned on like shadows or edges, before you paste your text in. Try only loading a paragraph at a time to see how musch your G4 can tolerate.

  • Task working in foreground, not working in background

    Hi Experts,
    I am facing one strange problem.
    I have created one Z BOR where i have written one method to fetch data from database.
    I have added one task in workflow which calls this method.
    When the task runs in foreground its perfectly fetches data.
    But when i make the task background it does not fetch 2-3 particular fields.
    I am not getting why this is happening.
    Can anybody give me solution for this,
    Thanks
