Can i somehow paste attributes of text

Hi,
I'm doing a really large project with ver basic titles, but there are a lot of them. and I need to change the font and tracking on the all. is there a way to do that all at once.
thanks

There is one possible way.
Export your sequence as XML and open that XML file in TextEdit (or a similar text editor) and do a find and replace on your font and tracking values. Actually, you have to do a find for the Parameter (Tracking or Font), then a manual replace for it's value. (you'll see what I mean).
The major caveat with this is that it doesn't work so well with Boris Title3D, since the bulk of the text formating data (font, in particular) with Boris does not get translated into XML. If you're using the standard Text Generator, you should be able to work it though.
All credit for this workflow goes to Tom Meegan (I still haven't gotten that far in the Optimizing FCP book)

  • How can i copy and  paste from applet  text controls

    I'm not 100% sure, but shouldn't it be working by default, using CTRL+C or whichever keystroke is needed?

  • Paste attributes Help Please....

    Hello,
    I've ugraded to 6.1 and find myself doing subtitling for foreign language TV commercials.
    I noticed that some of the text is plain when it should have been set to bold. In the past (FCP 5.1) It seems that I have been able to paste attributes to text and fix things that way. However, 6.1 does not seem to handle paste attritutes the same way and I cannot seem to change text this way.
    I have to change over 100 pieces of text from plain to bold and find it utterly idiotic that I cannot make a simple change through paste attributes. Do I really have to change all these pieces of text one by one??!!??
    Any insight into this delema would be greatly appreciated.

    Paste Attributes NEVER supported text settings like this. The text is a clip, plain and simple, and "video clips" don't have bold settings.
    If you have to replace LOTS of clips like this, look into a product for FCP called Traffic. It's made for that sort of work.

  • How can I copy/paste text from one page to another?

    I feel like I am taking crazy pills... is there really no way to copy a text box (or group) from one page to another while creating books in Aperture 3?  Lets say I have my entire book laid out and I want to add one paragraph at the end on one page which will push text and photos down a half page or so... in most programs for the last decade or so they added really cool functionality... cut/paste...  It seems like the apple developers are aware of it because they are in the context menus but they don't work on text, only photo boxes.  Additionally, you can copy/paste text but it erases all formatting.
    Seriously, am I missing something?  I have trouble believing that they can't include this function.
    Anyone else have this issue?

    Update... it seems to only happen with text boxes which I create.  So when I try an existing theme I can cut/copy/paste just fine, but in that same theme if you edit the layout and add a new text box, I can't copy paste it anywhere... the options are in the menu but nothing happens.
    Thoughts? Solutions?

  • Lost the paste and move text function in Pages '09 also suddenly can't open .doc or .docx files

    A few days ago I lost the ability to open .doc or .docx files in Pages '09 version 4.3.
    Today I find that I can not paste or move text within Pages.
    I updated everything yesterday and still no luck.
    Help....

    A Google search using the terms <document "could not be opened" iwork"> turns up two possible solutions:
    Pages '09 refuses to create/open existing doc after Lion upgrade
    Re: The document “navidad.numbers” could not be opened.
    The first discussion's solution is to delete/reinstall/update iWork. The second is to edit the underlying code within the document and remove any Unicode characters.
    I recommend you go with solution no. 1. Use Yvan Koenig's script to delete iWork completely (see below), then reinstall and update iWork before attempting to open a Word document. Then let us know how you went.
    Go to https://public.me.com/koenigyvan
    Choose For iWork > iWork '09 > uninstall iWork '09.zip
    Download Uninstall iWork '09.zip, decompress it, open it in AppleScript Editor and click the Run button

  • Can I design something in Muse and somehow get the HTML text fro it to plug into Business Catalyst to make a newsletter?

    I guess since I don't know html, I was wondering if I could create a "page" in muse and somehow get the "HTML" text from it so I can plug that text into a Business Catalyst E-Mail Marketing Campaign template. since I am struggling so much with modifying one of Business Catalysts established templates.
    I made my website with muse and I host it through Business Catalyst with a webMarketing Plan.
    Thanks in advance,

    There is no direct way to achieve this but you may try a workaround which may work but would require testing on your end.
    Create the site in Muse and publish to BC , master page will be included in template section. So in your published site , Page template will show you design from Muse.
    Now from Partner portal , you can select the site to create email campaign template but please note that creating a template from PP will remove the default email campaign templates on BC end.
    After creating the campaign template from PP , login to your site and create email campaign and in template section you will get the option to select the template which you created from PP.
    Not an ideal way but can be used as a workaround.
    Thanks,

  • I cannot drag items (files, maps) and drop them. And neither can I copy paste anything, not even text!

    I just bought a new MacBook Air, at the start of November. And recently I can't copy files or maps, and neither can I drag and drop them. This get's really annoying as I kinda need this possibility when I study! Please help!

    Hello GiaDuke,
    i am having exactly the same issue, however my problem started prior to updating to 10.5.7. I updated in the hope that it would resolve the issue.
    copy and paste no longer works. Cut works but i can not re-paste the copied/cut text. Neither mouse or keyboard shortcuts work.
    i can select, click, double click etc with no problems. Applications and files launch when i click them, scrolling etc works fine.
    2 things i have noticed:
    1) Spotlight has dissapeared from my menu bar. Keyboard shortcuts for Spotlight no longer work. I have been into spotlight preferences and all seems normal, yet still no spotlight.
    2) When i hover over a link or icon, often additional information pops up. This is no longer happening. It's almost as if the system doesnt know where the mouse cursor actually is on the screen.
    While i still have a useable system, it is extremely frustrating not having the most basic functionality of cutting and pasting, draging and dropping, he ability to move files and icons around etc.
    HELP!!!!!!

  • Can You Copy and Paste Attributes in FCPX?

    I'm just getting started with my FCPX training, (after years of edidting in FCP).  I frequntly use the "copy and paste attributes" feature in FCP, (say you make some adjustments to a clip, you can copy these attributes and paste them on to another clip).  VERY SLICK and USFULL.  Does anybody know how this is done in FCPX?  Thanks

    Similar though you don't have the same level of control as you'll notice. Copy the clip you want to use as the source and then Paste Effects- both from the Edit menu. This will copy over everything so plan things out if you want to use this feature.

  • Copying and pasting attributes and styles of text track

    Simple question,
    I have two text tracks and would like to copy and pasts the attributes and style tabs in "inspector" to another text track. How could I do this without having to manually set each individual track as I create it.
    Thanks,

    Did you check the opacity value in the paste attributes dialog?

  • Why can I sometimes paste text into a revision history dialog box and other times cannot?

    Why can I sometimes paste copied text (from another VI's revision history, for instance or from anywhere else) into a revision history dialog box and other times cannot? All versions of LabVIEW! It's something like the control key becomes diabled. I've noticed the same thing when saving many VI's at once, some will let you paste into revision history and others will not. Aren't all VI's created equally when it comes to revision history? All versions of LabVIEW since 3 have plagued me with this problem.

    Hello,
    If you'd like to add text to the revision history of a VI, you can
    paste into the Comment box and add all of your text at once.  The
    history itself can be read from this window, but cannot be directly
    edited.  The History field is read-only in the dialog box. 
    If you feel this should not be the case, your best course of action is
    to express your desire for added functionality to our developers on the Product Feedback page of our website.

  • I can't copy & paste anymore.  Can't delete text in clipboard.

    Hi, does anyone know why I can no longer paste anything anywhere. I can highlight things and they appear to copy but when I get the drop down menu in edit the paste option does not turn bold only the "select all" option goes bold. Can't do it with keyboard shortcuts either. I seem to have a bit of old text stored in a clipboard, could this be the root of the problem ?
    Help !

    Hi Susannah, Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Have you tried creating a new account and see how yourcopy/paste works in that User acct? (That will tell if your problem is systemwide or limited to your User acct.)
    Open System Preferences > Accounts > "+" make it an admin account.
    If this works, then log back into your problem account and navigate to ~(yourhome)/library/preferences and trash these two files:
    com.apple.finder.plist
    com.apple.sidebarlists.plist
    Then log out and back in again. Or restart.
    (You will have to reset a few finder prefs the way you like them.)
    Let us know.

  • Is there a limit to the size of string we can paste in a text area ?

    Hi,
    I have a dialog box and in it a Text Area. When I copy from another page a large amount of data and try to paste it in the text area - it doesn't work.
    I can't paste in it more data but I can type in it manually.
    Is there a limit to the size of string we can paste in a text area ??
    Thanks in advance:)
    maya

    There is no Limit to the string size. Since Swing follows MVC architecture, the data to be pasted is stored in model and the view shows the text to the user. If the text size is large, the screen appears to freeze for the some time while the data is stored in model and painted on the screen.

  • Pasting Attributes with Title 3D? - A follow up inquiry

    Hello All,
    The other day I asked whether it is possible to copy and paste attributes from a text 3D title to another. The answer/solution offered was to take a "master" format, and then change the specific names and titles in each clip.
    I keep thinking about this solution, and it surprises me. In the same way that one can take an Excel spreadsheet and copy the format from one to another, I would think that it would be advantageous (as well as popular) to have such control with titles in FCP.
    I'm not a programmer, so I don't know if this is asking the world. Is it just a feature that hasn't been developed, or is it a complicated function, or do folks simply determine up front what the titles will look like, and if they change their mind, go back and retype all of the information?
    Just curious.
    Thanks.
    DG

    Title 3D does let you create and save "styles" that you can reuse whenever you choose to do so.

  • After paste attributes(transform and crop), it is strange crop...

    Hi everybody~
    I did copy from one clip and then paste attributes to same positon, scale , and crop.
    But after that, like that above image, crop is problem.
    Of course I replaced source clip again and no problem.
    But I want to know why that problem occured.
    Help me~

    What about the frame size of the project?
    I tried with two clip recorded with my MBP's iSight camera (at 640x480).
    On a 640x480 project, I could not make the problem occur. Paste atributes worked correctly.
    On an 1080p project, the problem manifested itself. It seems that pasting atributes somehow messes up the spatial conform parameter: while it still shows as "Fit", it appears as if it were set to "None", as far as I can tell.
    (Of course, such an error has not effect when the dimensions of the clip coincide with those of the project it is in).

  • Copy and Paste Attributes

    Is it possible to cut and paste attributes between Soundtrack Pro projects?

    If I understand your question correctly, then Yes, there is a very easy way to copy the attributes from one object (or text sample) to another:
    In the Toolbar at the top of our Editing Window, there should be two icons: Copy Style and Paste Style. If you don't see them, then you need to go to the View Menu and select Customize Toolbar; here you can select and drag these (and any other tools you want to add) into your Toolbar.
    Once you have these tools available, all you need to do is select any object, click the Copy tool to capture the style (attributes) and then when you select another object, click the Paste tool to apply them. This also works, as mentioned above, with text.
    Good luck.
