Centered Title issues

I am using iMovie HD 6.0.3. In creating a centered title of any length, the title itself is visible for less than half of the specified time with the remainder of the clip being black (30 second title: 12 seconds of title/18 seconds of black screen). This problem is specific to centered titles and has not developed with any other title format. Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated!!

Welcome to the boards.
If you are not satisfied with the title after you have used the slider to adjust the length, you can always apply the editing features of imovie to the clip. Make a freeze frame of the full title and insert it in the the title for as long as you wish. Usually the time adjustment sliders are enought.

Two title issues

I have two issues related to iMovie HD 6's use of titles:
1. Why are most titles limited to roughly 4 seconds of "pause" time? I want a 2-line "Centered Title" to fade in in 1 second, pause on the screen for around 6 seconds, and then fade out in 1 second. The closest I can get to this is to have it fade in for 2 seconds, pause for 4 (max available), and fade out for 2. However, this is not what I want. What is the point of having an upper limit on the "pause" time?
2. My title, when rendered, is being vertically squished. I'm working in a 1080i 16:9 HD project. In the preview and during rendering, the title looks crisp and correct. When it is done rendering, it is vertically squished and looks jagged and awful. Any thoughts?
Thanks.

I would start by trying the i/o 2 with garageband in another user account to find out if it's a local or global problem.
Then with the alesis plugged in make sure that all your settings in the audio/midi setup utility are correct for the device.
A class compliant device means if they build the interface to a agreed upon spec it will be recognized and be able to use the apple driver (core audio). It did work because you were able to use it and change it's function when making it part of aggregate device.

Centered title 14 error when playing imovie on Windows XP computer

I have Apple Quick Time version 7.0.3 and am trying to play an imovie (made in imovie 4 on an IMAC G5) from a CD in my Windows XP Pro computer. I did File/Open and selected the movie file from the CD and got this message: "The movie file centered title 14 cannot be found. Without this file, the movie cannot play properly". When I say, OK, I get Error-128: an unknown error occurrred. I get a similar remark about "Centered title 14) when trying to play an imovie from on a web page. Can anyone tell me how I can play an imovie on my XP computer? Thanks.
IMAC G5 Mac OS X (10.3.9) my other computer is a Dell Dimension L500CX running Windows XP Pro

The older file was saved as a "reference" movie and
doesn't contain all the "parts". It may also be the
first of a very long list of missing files.
If the original iMovie 4 Project folder still exists
you can use iMovie to Export the file. Be sure to
check the box that says save as "self-contained".
Thanks, we've moved on to Imovie 6 and aren't having that problem any more.

How to? - Centered Titles of uniform font size?

Hello there,
I can't recall how, but I know there's a way to make all the lines in centered titles the same font size. Anyone recalls this one? Thanks a lot.
Jacobo

Hi Jacobo:
The only way I know to do it is by using Lennart Thelander's plugin for Centered Titles. However, I am not sure they work with imovie HD6...

Can't center centered titles

Why does my "centered" title display left of center in iMovie 3.0?

Unfortunately it's trial and error.
You might want to avoid serif fonts and just try sans serif fonts (Helvetica, Arial etc). Sans serif fonts look better with the low resolution of video.

Centered Title - what's that yellow thing?

I can move the Centered Title up and down, but why does that yellow tracer move left to right? The title is always centered horizontally, right? I'd love to move my single word all the way to the left using the Centered Title option...Can this be done?
Thanks.

.. all the way to the left using the Centered Title ..
that makes me smile...
the plug-in Slick5/www.geethree.com contains a 'Title' called 'Place Text' which allows to place the title anywhere on the screen ...

URXVT Title issue and keybind issue (backspace, delete, etc.)

Hi,
Two questions:
1) I use zsh. How can I set the title of urxvt to be my current directory?
2) I'm having an issue in urxvt wih backspacing/deleting/end-of-line/beginning-of-line. What are the proper bindkey's for that?

Here's straight from my ~/.zshrc file
# This sets the window title to the last run command.
[[ -t 1 ]] || return
case $TERM in
*xterm*|rxvt|(dt|k|E|a)term)
preexec () {
print -Pn "\e]2;$1\a"
screen*)
preexec () {
print -Pn "\e\"$1\e\134"
esac
# Setting HOME and END keys
case $TERM in (xterm*|aterm|rxvt)
bindkey '\e[H' beginning-of-line
bindkey '\e[F' end-of-line ;;
esac
The preexec codes actually print out my last command.
So, in order for it to do what you want, you would need to change:
case $TERM in
*xterm*|rxvt|(dt|k|E|a)term)
preexec () {
print -Pn "\e]2;$1\a"
to:
case $TERM in
*xterm*|rxvt|(dt|k|E|a)term)
preexec () {
print -Pn "\e]2;%~\a"
That should do it for ya.

Notes app "Titles" issue

This has only happened since upgrading to Mountain Lion and the new Notes app. In the Mac Notes app I'm having a frequent issue where I see two notes with the same title (like a note has been duplicated) and it appears that another note has disappeared. But when I click on the "duplicate", the note I thought was missing is displayed - it's just listed under the wrong title. If I Quit and relaunch Notes the problem goes away. Seems like it is related to iCloud syncing but I'm not sure. All of my Notes are in iCloud.

Well, now it's 2015 and the problem is still there.   Previously generated notes' titles are often overwritten by a new note's title.
Example:
   Note A
   Note B
   Note C
exists. Then I create Note D, which appears on top because it's newer. The title for, say, Note A (having recently been used) changes to "Note D" without editing the first line of that note, which still says "Note A".
Killing the app and restarting it makes the titles regenerate to the correct text.

Title issue in premiere CS 5.5

I just discover this issue and I would like you to help me.
I'm working on a PAL DV widescreen project. I wanted to use a title for each person on the show so I opened Title - Single Still and I drew a rectangle. So I went to fill it with a gradient (normal 2 color) from red on left to white on right. The white color was set to trasnparent whit transient color to 0.
Well, when I built this with 0° angle (from up to down) the gradient works good and you can see it well on Premiere. If I set it to 270° (from left to right as I need) I can see on video the rectangle only for its 2/3 width on screen. The right side is cutted.
I also tried to make this rectangle in Photoshop and import in the title desktop, well: the same issue. The rectangle made in .psd format with a color gradient and transparent background is shown only for his 2/3 widht on screen. The right side is missing. Tiff format or jpg with white backgroud work good.
I tried to make a new projetc, just to test. The same issue. Rectangle whit a horizontal color gradient cannot be seen entirely.
If I import the .psd file directly in the project, it is shown well, as it is.
Please, I'd like you to try this procedure and tell me if you have the same issue.

That's what I did at the end. But I don't like this issue. If I need a gradient color rectangle I should not use Photoshop and import it but Premiere should be able to draw it.

PP 6.0 titler issue

I am having an issue with the Premiere Pro titler. I create a new still title at 960x720, but when I place it on the timeline, the text size is much larger, and positioning of the text is off from what I set up in the titler window. Has anyone else had this problem? I feel sure it's operator error. Thanks!

When I create the new title, it asked for a size, and the only choice I have for that ratio is the HD Anamorphic 1080, so maybe that's the problem. PP seems to select the size for you based on the sequence settings...
Correct...and logical. Why would one create a title based on a different size than the target sequence setting.
If for some reason one might need that...create an appropriate sequence then create a title based on that.

Search Title Issue

I just wanted to see if anyone else has seen this issue and can offer a solution.
We have a user that just updated to IE8 with the BOBJ 3.1 patch. however now she is able to have results returned from the Search Title on the home page. If she goes to advance search and performs the search the list of reports returns. Has anyone else seen this? I have been unable to reproduce, and we have a couple of other users that have the same issue.
Mark

Hi,
   IE 8 needs to be under compatibility mode as SAP BusinessOBjects Enterprise only support compatibility mode for IE8. This is true for even the current XI3.1 with SP3.
   Use this Microsoft Support Link to learn how you can switch to compatibility mode
           http://support.microsoft.com/kb/956197
   Try switching to Compatibility mode and let me know if you still have issue.

Hi,
ps_hd_change-objla = 'E'.
ps_hd_change-objnam = text-001.
ps_hd_change-objsns = 'O'.
ps_hd_change-file_ext = 'HTM'.
double click in the text-001.it goes to text elements and write 'Service Contract Status Change'.
save and activate.

Title issue in jsp

I am writing html code in JSP. My jsp includes only below two lines.
<jsp:useBean id="htmlCodeString" class="java.lang.String" scope="request" />
<%=htmlCodeString%>
htmlCodeString is html code being generated in java code and includes all the html tags.
I have included <title> tag inside the <head> tag as well while generating htmlCodeString. But the the problem is it is not displaying title as set instead displaying url only. But if I see the view source of the same it shows the title.

I see that my comment about \ tags was completely lost on you.
In any case what you posted works just fine for me in Firefox. Perhaps you want to try with a proper doctype:<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

Facebook Picture upload title issue

I have searched the forums and have not found much on this topic so here goes! When you upload a picture from iphoto using the Facebook feature, why does it put the name of the photo in the title bar? So if my picture just came off my digi cam its title is like IMG001.jpg. That is what shows up in the title bar of facebook. So it looks to my friends like I uploaded this picture then put in the caption the name of the file? Quite annoying! Anyone know any info that they might share?
Thanks in advance!

This is one of the things I like least with iPhoto'09's implementation of the Facebook uploader. For what I do, I HAVE to keep the camera names in the Title field. I deal with many thousands of photos, and I don't really have the option of just moving them elsewhere (such as to a different field).
You can always try the Facebook Exporter (available from Facebook) here: http://developers.facebook.com/iphoto/
This is different than the built-in version Apple did. In the Facebook version they get the description/title fields CORRECT. They probably asked a real photographer what would work best, whereas Apple may have asked a chimpanzee, as their way of doing it makes no sense at all.
In Facebook a "caption" can be placed under any photo. The Facebook Exporter uses your "description" field for this, which is exactly what should be done. The iPhoto Facebook Uploader uses the "title" for this, which makes no sense at all, considering that the only "title" in Facebook Albums is the actual album name.
Regardless, it's a huge disappointment for me. I need to keep my camera-created "titles" in iPhoto just the way they are (otherwise I'd have an inventory nightmare on my hands). So I'm stuck.
I'm not sure if the Facebook Exporter works with iPhoto'09 (it does with previous versions) but I think I'm going to give it a try. Sure, I'll lose the automatic syncing and updating and the automatic face-tagging... but I don't really have a choice if I want any kind of captions to appear on Facebook at all.
Why can't Apple just correct this so we can move on??
