Change text size in multiple titles

To me, iMovie's most glaring weaknesses seem to fall under its text handling abilities, despite all the glitzy swoopy things you can do.
I have several screens of rolling titles in a project and last night I decided to change the text size. It's impossible! No, you can change it, but how do you get them all the same size when iMovie doesn't give you any exact type sizes, just that stupid slider? The only way I've been able to do it so far is trial and error, and it's faster to simply recreate the titles than do that, there's so much error involved.
So I thought maybe there's a way of applying a style to multiple titles...is there?
Thanks.

I can't speak for the old iMovie 4, but it works on iMovie 6 is you shift-select all the ones you want to change, and then apply the change.
I tried all the multiple selection things I could think of, but the problem is that iMovie 4, when you select a title, also selects the text. So even if you could apply a change to all the title clips, you would be applying the same text to each one - not gtreat. But so far I haven't been able to effect changes to multiple titles this way so they must have changed it in the later version.
What with the new bug I discovered yesterday (the audio track and the video track's visual sync is off after seven minutes, even though the two are in sync to the ear - in this case, they are FOUR friggin' seconds off! The visual representation of the audio track is ahead of where the sound is at that point even though the audio and video tracks end at the same time visually. Yeesh!) I'm thinking I need to try to find an old copy of Final Cut somewhere, one that will run on my machine. I got my iLife off Craigslist, a must for people like me with virtually no disposable income. Then again, I don't know squat about Final Cut. I just know that what's available on the Mac for video editing on the lowest spectrum really seems to be less than usable for my purposes.

  • How can I change the font to multiple titles at the same time?

    Hey guys, quick question. I have a bunch of titles and lower thirds in my project and my producer decided that he didn't like the font we were previously using and wants to change it to a new one. He seems to do that pretty often. Is there a way to "globally" change the font to multiple title cards at the same time instead of clicking on each one separately and doing it manually for each one? And if there is no way to do that does anyone have any ideas on how to make it easier?

    If you have any idea of design and fonts you would understand that "Title Cards" are not "exactly the same" if you change the font... because all fonts are not equal! Lower thirds are probably even more restrictive because they have design elements in them.
    If you work with "change their mind producers"...the deal that goes with that is suck up their changes. (on a salary or otherwise)
    I was just saying there is no way without scripting ..to change a title ( graphic) en masse ( in Premiere) and get it working because of font differences.

  • How do I change text size in a check box in CS3

    How do I change text size in a check box in CS3?

    While I've never done it myself for a checkbox, components
    have a textField property which is essentially the texfield inside
    the component. You probably need to apply a TextFormat to it to
    change the size.
    But if this involves the same problem you had yesterday,
    where you couldn't change the width of the checkbox, I doubt you'll
    have much luck changing the text size

  • How do you change image size in the title window?

    I just changed operating systems to Windows 7, which meant that I had to re install Premiere Pro CS4. I am now working on a 64 bit system. Might not make any difference, but thought I would give you the specifics just in case.  When I pull up the title window to add a title to my clip, the image is about the size of a postage stamp. How do I increase the size of the image in that window?

    Thank you again for responding Hunt. I did find out what what was happening.
    I had to reinstall the program on my computer. I just upgraded to Windows 7, and I now have a 64 bit system. When I booted up PPCS4, I assumed that my settings would be the same as they were before when I had Vista installed and didn't bother to check them when I started a new project. Well, they were not. I also added a TV tuner card to my computer. I now can watch HD TV on my computer. I suppose that it is possible that somehow PPCS4 noticed that, and set my default settings to HD, rather than NTSC DV. I just merrily went along clicking the OK button and started editing. When I start a new project now, I select NTSC DV and the Title window works just fine, and exactly the way I expect it to.
    I just received Jeff Bellune's book Adobe Encore DVD 2.0 in the mail and will be totally immersed in Encore studies today. With all of his children, I don't see how he had time to write it, but I'm glad that he did. I also ordered a book entitled Designing Menus with Encore DVD. I know that it was written for an earlier version than CS4, but I will trust what you said about that. Many things are the same with some minor variations due to upgrades in the program. The basic ideas don't change, but how you accomplish them can, and usually do over time.

    Subject: how do you change image size in the title window?
    Welcome to the forum.
    That is an odd one. The Title should be the same Frame Size as your Project/Sequence. What is it's Frame Size? Also, are you perhaps doing a Title based on an older Template, that was done for a different Frame Size?
    What happens if you choose Title>New Title>Default Still?
    Good luck,

  • Unable to change text size

    So I have been unable to change my text size in itunes. When i switch between "large" and "small" text sizes the size remains the same, however the size of the menus and the itunes stores is small. I theorize it was probably some program I installed but since I am nearly constantly adding and removing programs I can't pinpoint which one it was. If anyone can tell me how to fix it or point me in the right direction that would be great. I am including my system info as well as a screen of itune. Thanks.

  • Changing text size in form field (rich text formatting enabled)

    Hi all,
    I'm hoping someone can help me out here. I've created an interactive PDF with form fields with "Rich Text Formatting" enabled.
    My client has filled in the fields and would like to make the text bigger. When right-click, there are only options to change the text style (bold, italics etc) but nothing to change the text size. I'm not keen on disabling and then re-enabling the "Rich Text Formatting" options as the text have been formatted (bold, italics, superscript, subscript etc) and approved, and this will remove all the existing formatting.
    Can anyone help?

    Thanks so much!! Really appreciated!
    Strangely enough, I found the Form Field Text Properties dialogue box by randomly choosing "Hyperlink" in the right-click options. Who would have thought!

  • How do I change text size in auto-page tabs

    Now I'm trying to make the page tabs fit across my page. I've got several pages and will probably have more. I don't want all of them on the bar as they'll be linked in my text. I would also like to make the text smaller and maybe reformat to another font or style.
    I don't find anything on this but maybe I'm not searching the right terminology.

    You're referring to the navbar.  You can remove any page from the navbar by going to the Inspector/Page/Page pane while viewing the page and unchecking the box to include that page in the navbar:
    To change the font size of the navbar text see this post by Cyclosaurus: How do you change the size and font of...: Apple Support Communities.
    Wyodor also posted a way to change the font size: Darkroom Navigation Font Size: Apple Support Communities.
    If you only have a couple of pages you can create your own text based navbar and complete control over the font, size, rollover color, etc. This demo page has an example: Text Based Navbar. Be sure to use Web Safe Fonts.

  • Change text size and colour of report values ?

    Hi,
    I have a formula as part of a BEx query in version 3.5 and I'd like to make the values of this formula stand out more by either changing the text size of this one row and/or changing the colour.
    I've already selected the "highlighting" option but this only changes the colour to a light blue colour.
    Does anyone know if it's possible to change the text size and colour of one or more rows of a report?
    Thanks.

    HI Mark,
    Greetings.
    Your requirement can be met by using exceptions. It can not change/increase the text size but it can give you color coding based on the conditions you set while creating query.
    Open your query in Designer and click on exception button on the top menu bar. Define your condition on whatever key figure you want to get the color coding and execute your report.
    Let me know if this is what you were looking for.
    Thanks

  • Globally change the size of multiple imported PDF's in InDesign

    I just used a script to import a 1,299 page PDF document.  I wish to change the SIZE of all the PDF's that I have imported.
    Do I have to go to each page (1,299) and manually change the size?

    Don't know waht script you used, but I recommend this one: InDesignSecrets » Blog Archive » Zanelli Releases MultiPageImporter for Importing both PDF and INDD Files
    It allows you to set the scaling when you run it, and it will be one heck of a lot faster to just run the script again on a new file than to go back and manually scale 1299 PDF pages. The other option might be to find a script that can  find the already plced pages and scale them, but I don't know of one that's already availble. You could ask over in InDesign Scripting

  • Change text size in iphone - phone favorites

    Is there any way to increase the text size in phone favorites?  I know how to use the Accessabitity setting to increase the text size in Contacts, Mail, Messages, etc...
    It's just that I keep hitting a favorite adjacent to the one I am intending to choose.
    Or, is there a way to add a blank in between each favorite so that a false selection is not made?
    Thanks for any advice.

    Dixie,
    I did use Large Text to improve the contacts readability, but it has no effect in Phone-Favorites.  And this is strange, as the Favorites list is propigated from the Contacts data.
