Can't Edit text in custom Title made from Motion 5

I make a Title in Motion 5 and save it to my Titles in FCPX.
When i bring it into FCPX, i go to change the text in it, but it won't let me. it doesn't give me the option.
I'm making a custom lower 3rd where all i want to do is change the text on the Title, and I use to be able to do this.
Now all of a sudden when I create a Title in Motion 5 and send it to FCPX, it wont' let me edit the text in the Title.
I have 'Editable in FCPX' option selected in Motion as well. what am i doing wrong?

You are supposed to "Publish" each item that you want to be editable in FCP X.
In Motion, open the inspector for each text element. Locate the text, click the little triangle at the top left and select "Publish". Make sure to also publish any other parameters that want to be able to change (like "Basic Formatting").

  • IBooks Author - can't edit text on customized template

    I've created a template and saved it to My Templates. However, when I select a layout (a chapter or section) and place it into my book, I can't edit the text. Where am I going wrong?

    I tried the above but still can't edit text.
    I'm inserting a page and then changing it to 2 Column.  It is linked to the first page.  If the first page has enough text, it overflows into the new page and I can edit it. 
    However, I want the new page to be stand alone.  So I remove the link to the first page.  The text disappears.  When I double click into either column, I can't add any text to this page.  I have to add a text box into the column, which of course isn't going to overflow into column 2.
    The strange thing is that I have another page a little further up that is also 2 Column.  It is not linked to the first page but I can type text into it.  This text will overflow from column 1 into column 2.
    Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

  • How can I edit text tabs in Photoshop...?

    how can I edit text tabs in Photoshop like in Illustrator that I can choose to view the tab rulers and edit the alignment on the tabs?
    is it possible? otherwise I can't understand why I can use the tabs at all...
    thanks!

    No, tab-formatted text is not editable in the manner you desire. As for your question - tab is just a character like any other. You are simply taking a given kind of implementation for granted, nothing more, but that must not necessarily be the case for all programs. An evil programmer just could assign the tab key to forward delete or any other fancy function just as he could make your space key draw funky symbols from a different Unicode range, if you get my meaning... so simply take it the way it is. If editable formatting is high on your wishlist:

  • I cannot edit text in a PDF created from scanning

    I am using Adobe XI, and I have created a PDF by scanning a document.
    When I do click on a paragraph to edit text, all the page appears selected, it seems to be an image. At that moment a message pops up saying: this page has not editable text or digitalized content. The editing tools are disabled, so I cannot edit text.
    If I do export a page to Excel or Word, I can edit text there, although there are some kind of data that is not converted properly (even when I have executed OCR).
    I have edited preferences, but I am not sure if I did it correctly.
    Thanks

    I am using Acrobat XI Pro on PC.
    Of course, I have done all the steps you mention,  but I wanted someone to confirm me if these setting values are correct in order to obtain the best results. I repeat the paragraph of my previous discussion that I want to clarify, just in case some of you can help me, mainly about optimization
    I digitalized the document from the scanner. This scanner is installed in the net, so I personalized the settings in Acrobat and I chose memory mode instead of native mode.
    Mode color: black on white
    Resolution: 600 ppp
    As you say in your mail, I understand I should choose ClearScan OCR not searchable just at this moment.
    Well, and what about the options of optimization?, JBIG2 (without lost)?, 4 CCITT?
    And filters?, I have: activated, low, activated, medium
    Are these values congruous or compatible?
    Thank you

  • Where can I find the purchases that were made from itunes and apps?

    Where can I find the purchases that were made from itunes and apps?

    You can view the full purchase history on your account via your computer's iTunes : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option, you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it. Click on that and you should then see a list of your purchases.
    On an iOS device you can only view the last 90 days purchases (and optionally contact iTunes Support if you have a problem with one of them) via http://reportaproblem.apple.com

  • Can't edit text in Acrobat X Pro

    I can't seem to edit text properly in a recently created PDF document, using Acrobat X Pro. I went to the help file, and followed the instructions, but it isn't working right. All I need to do is replace the numeral "8" with a "7" in a paragraph. When I finally get to the point to edit the text, I can delete the "8" but when I type "7', it creates a large space instead.
    The instructions said that maybe I have to do something regarding the adobe font, so I did that, was able to finally enter a "7" but it messed up the formatting of the paragraph. Surely it can't be this hard to revise one character?

    Steve,
    There are definitely folks out there that have had the same problem in Lion.  Just to cover the obvious basics however ... Select the clip with the text in it (we are talking about Titles, right?). Then position your timeline vertical playback marker somewhere in that clip.  Go up to the preview window and make sure the little rectangle icon in the lower left corner is Blue (enabled) ... a little horizontal line will appear near the center of the text area with a little circle on the end.  Then go to a word in your text and double click it.  Does it select the word? Making sure again that the text clip is actually selected on the timeline, if it does not select the text then I probably cannot help you.  There are other discussions on this topic, but I really do not know for sure if there are resolutions.  FYI, I use FCP X with Lion and 16GB on a 2011 21" iMac and use text titles about 20 times a week and do not have a problem at all.  Still I know the problems others are seeing are real.  Best wishes,
    stephen

  • Can I edit text in a vector image?

    My apologies if this is a stupid question!
    I downloaded a vector image from Shutterstock that said "Your Text Here" implying you can edit the text. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to edit the text. When I open the image in illustrator I can select the text but not edit it. Removing each piece of the letter distorts the background. Help!

    Would depend on what the text is made of, but as Scott said it's most likely outlined and you are meant to use a completely new text object.

  • Can we edit Text ?

    I - for the life of me - can't find a way to edit text on it's layer once the check box has been clicked and the text layer is made...
    We can transform, size, skew etc., using the tools under the move tool icon but I can't seem to find a way to actually EDIT text or change fonts once the layer has been created.. I am missing something ??
    It's a pain to think that every time I want to change a word ( read make a spelling mistake ) or want to try a different font I have top delete that layer and start again ??
    Thanks in advance,
    Edit - Should also add that I am using the iPad version of PST....

    svik12,
    Understood this already it's not just a Android thing - - - the text is editable up until you click "OK" and create the layer...
    After that point it is rasterized and no longer editable - meaning can't enter the layer and select the text, change font or change spelling...
    The double edge of that sword of that process is that even if you export the file to your Photoshop via a PSDX file transfer - that same text layer is ALSO no longer editable in PS either....
    Essentially once you have clicked OK and created the "text" layer - if you find you need to change spelling, add words, change fonting - - you have to delete the layer and start all over again...

  • Text Box Dashed. Can't edit text. Please Help!

    InDesign CS4
    I made a catalog a couple months ago and when I opened it up to work on it again all my text boxes have a dashed outline when selected. I can select the box, but when I switch to the text tool and click it is unselected and I can't edit the text. When I try to highlight the text the text tool just makes a new text box (with normal outline). I can add new text in new text boxes. All the catalog pages are different files and the problem is the same when opening any page which makes me feel like its some setting in the actual program rather then the files themselves. Nothing is locked as far as I can tell and overriding all master page items doesn't help either. Somebody please help. Thank you!

    Sounds like your text frames are on the master page.

  • Is it true you can't edit text in PS once you've saved it ?

    I just spent an hour on the phone with tech support in India and the bottom line was: u can't save text in PS and go back
    and edit it once you saved it. This doesn't make any sense. They were adamant.
    The problem I'm having is that a portion of my saved document's text is editable while a potion is not.
    The portion that is not editable does not have a "T" icon in the layer's palette.
    I don't know how to change it and make it editable.
    I don't know know why this happened with part of my document and not another.

    The only way the Indian customer "support" could have been remotely right is if you had told them you were saving the file as a PDF.  PDFs do get rasterized the moment you open them again.
    However, this cannot be the case if part of your text remains editable.  This indicates you're not dealing with PDF documents.
    Adobe's support has been in a free fall for quite some time now.

  • Can you edit text after saving your file as pdf

    I have recently created a letterhead in Illustrator.
    Is there a way to change a person name and title after saving it as a pdf file? I heard something about creating a form in Acrobat professsional.
    I need to print out a letterhead with different peoples name and title. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

    Can you edit the text in Acrobat Reader?
    Yes, if you use Acrobat Pro to save the PDF as a Reader-enabled form.
    1. Create your letterhead in Illustrator (or whatever). Leave design space for, but do not create text objects that you want to be editable.
    2. Save as PDF.
    3. Open the PDF in Acrobat Pro. Use Acrobat's Form tools to add text fields whereever you want the end users to be able to key text.
    4. Select the Enable Reader Usage Rights command in Acrobat to make the form fields edtiable in Reader. Save the file.
    Recipients of the PDF can now open it in Reader, edit the content of the fields, and save the file with their edits.

  • I can't edit text on a pdf file in adobe acrobat

    I need to edit the text on the pdf file but I can't and this message keeps showing up: " This form cannot be edited in Acrobat. Please use Adobe LiveCycle Designer to edit this form.
    There are no security on this file. The only thing that is not allowed is to create templates. When I check the document properties description, on the PDF producer it says adobe distiller 7.0.5 (windows)
    I downloaded the adobe livecycle designer but I couldn't edit the text there either... When I open the file it says the text is not downloaded so it replaced it with another text, I clicked ok but then the text didn't change, This message showed up:
    I really need to edit the text on this pdf file because it's important. Can anyone help? Greatly appreciate it. By the way, this is a pdf fillable form that you can fill out on acrobat and that is the only thing it seems like it will let me do this file. I don't want to fill it out, I want to edit whats on it. It's one of those forms that you get from NJ courts.

    Ok, what we can tell you is that if this is a LiveCycle form (and we can be pretty sure it is), that you are absolutely right. Acrobat can fill it, and nothing else. These are a very special kind of PDF, where all the text is in a special XML format that Acrobat can only show, not edit.
    So, you are on the right track: if it can be edited, you need LiveCycle Designer. Unfortunately, we don't know much about it in this forum, so please try posting here: http://forums.adobe.com/community/livecycle/livecycle_modules_and_development_tools/livecy cle_designer_es
