Changing multiple text clips attributes?

I have a number of text clips that I need to change both the font size and the color. Is there a way to paste text control attributes from one clip to another or to multiple clips? I have about 50 I need to change and doing each one manual, until the client changes their mind again, is becoming tedious.
Thanks.

There's no easy way to paste attributes like title fonts and colors and sizes. You could try an xml workaround like this:

it works for font but not sure about color and size.
Something like Traffic might be a good bet too:

  • How to change color on multiple text clips

    I just finished creating a video with a lot of moving text. It's about 40 mins long. The client wants the text color to be different in the video. My problem is I have multiple text clips (hundreds) that I need to change.
    Is there a simple short cut to do this. I love how in fcp you can use the past attributes feature to paste drop shadows and other motion elements on multiple clips. I haven't seen this option for color though.
    Thanks,

    Thanks Mjax4,
    That's definitely one way to do it. The only negative is having to render all of that.
    You cannot simply copy/paste the color...
    Here's another way to do it. Note: this isn't really elegant AND it's still going to require rendering - so it might not work for you. But, I guess with any 'workaround' you've got to weigh the pros & cons, though, eh?
    Anyway, you could
    1.) Put a Color Solid on the video track above one of your titles.
    2.) Set the solid's color to the exact color you want the titles to take on.
    3.) Set the solid's composite mode to "Travel Matte-alpha". (This will use the alpha info. from the text clip to cut a hole into your now-colored solid.)
    4.) Copy this clip to all the other titles, above them.
    Again, this is just another workaround...so your alternatives are:
    • Bear down and re-do all the graphics properly...time-consuming!
    • Use one of the "other" techniques and wait on a render.
    They both cost you time. But at least with rendering - you can do whatever else you want while it's happening. It's wait-time. Not WORK time. Up to you!
    Hope this helps.

  • Changing multiple sound clips volume?

    I need to adjust almost an entire track's sound (by about +5db...) Is there a simple way to select them all and apply +5db to multiple clips?
    Thanks!

    Joshua wrote:

    Yeah, select the clips you want to raise 5db, then raise them 5db. If you select the clips you want to raise, use Control- ] and Control- [ to raise or lower in 3db increments. Control- + and Control-- will raise or lower in 1db increments.
    So select them and raise them. The process is really as simple as your question.
    EDIT: I don't know why that's showing up as a link. It's supposed to be Control and the brackets in either direction.
    EDIT: I think I fixed it now. The question & the answer were both easier than actually fooling the system into realizing i wasn't typing a link.

  • How can I copy multiple text clips and paste them separetly?

    The "clipboard" is a Vista function, not a Firefox support issue. I don't use Vista and with WinXP I use an external program called Clip Trakker to save multiple clipboard entries for later recall. Try this forum for help: <br />

  • Framerate change to nested sequence of text clips?

    Having successfully rendered a 25 frame project as a finished film with burned-in subtitles and other text. Now I wished to create a 29.97 NTSC version. I have attempted this by sending the complete rendered 25 frame film to Compressor and re-rendering as 29.97 ProRes 422HQ using Compressor and then re-rendering, again with Compressor, as mpeg2. I found that some of the previously successfully rendered text now appears (in the ProRes file) to be somewhat blurred and to be unstable and 'jittery' when over a light, moving background.
    It occurred to me that the best solution might be to separate the background material, render this to 29.97 ProRes 422HQ without the titles and then to apply the sequence of title clips at the new framerate. Thus there is no framerate change to rendered text.
    Having nested these text clips in my 25 fps project, if I paste these into my 29.97 project they come up out of sync (unsurprisingly). I have tried changing the speed of this nested sequence of text clips by 25/29.97 which (almost) worked in terms of fixing the timing but the image quality of the text seemed impaired.
    Can anyone please suggest an alternative way of imposing a framerate change on an unrendered nested sequence of text clips? My aim here is clearly to avoid the need to adjust each clip's duration manually especially as some have 'motion' scrolling within them.
    Thanks

    It is entirely possible that you could find the font information and replace it.
    Just keep in mind that the project files in CC are actually zipped.
    Create a project with one clip and one title and then tear the project file apart to find the info you want to search on.
    Then try it on a copy of your big project. It is tedious, but you might pull it off.

  • What would cause imovie to keep quitting.  Lately it kept doing it when i was trying to change the text theme on a clip.  I just updated to imovie 11.  I have a macbook pro with OSX 10.6.8

    imovie has been quitting unexpectedly lately.....the latest was when I was trying to change the text theme on a clip. I have two external drives for my events and projects. 
    Also does imovie 11 only let you use the comic book transitions when you set that as your project theme?

  • How do I change the text on a label for a SAP delivered WD view

    Hi,
    I need to change the text that is being displayed for a label in a SAP delivered WD ABAP View. When I look at the properties for this label, the Text property is currently empty, so I assume that the text that is being displayed in the view is coming from the dictionary. I was hoping to change the text of the label via the Enhancement Framework. I created an OTR entry, then went into SE80 for the WD Component, I navigated to the view in question, I pressed the Enhance button and entered $OTR:<package>/<alias name> in the text property for the label. Finally I saved and activated and was prompted to create an Enhancement Implementation, which I did and I selected it. Everything seems to be fine (no errors or warnings). I then ran the WD application. My change was not there. I then went back into SE80 for the WD Component that I created the enhancement. I navigated to the View and looked in the text property of the label and saw that my change was not there. I repeated this process several times and each time when I added the OTR entry to the text property of the label, it saves and activates without issue (in enhancement mode), but when I run the WD App the change does not show up and when I go back to the WD View, my change to the text property is gone. I know that if I really wanted to I could register the object and add the OTR entry to the text attribute of the label, but I am trying to perform this change using a modification free enhancement. Can this be done via an Enhancement, or do I have to register the object and make my change using a modification?

    Hi Gregg,
    excellent question. I had the same problem as well before.
    What I have learned is that you cannot change a UI Element via Enhancements.
    You can add new UI Elements (e.g. new label) or remove existing elements, but you cannot change them (except the layout properties (e.g. colspan) maybe).
    The only possibilities I see is
    1. Remove the existing label, and add a new label with your desired text
    2. Do it as a modification
    3. Do it as a configuration (This means you go to the webdynpro application in SE80, right click and select "Create/Change Configuration)
    4. Do it as customizing (This means you add the URL parameter sap-config-mode=X to the URL, navigate to the label, right click on it, and select "Change Settings for Current Configuration").
    The disadvatages of 3) and 4) are
    - texts in configurations and customizing are not translatable (as far as I know)
    - if you have multiple configurations, you have to change the label multiple times
    Hope this helps a bit,
    Daniel

  • Multiple text alignment in one story with GREP (or similar)

    In search of trying to make my workflow much more efficient, I've been dabbling with grep styles and have come across an obstacle. This may be a limit to the character style features but I have been trying to find ways to use multiple text alignments (i.e. left, justified, right) within a single paragraph style sheet applied over multiple paragraphs. Is this actually possible with GREP or similar or do I just have my head in the clouds?
    If this was actually possible in Character Styles, I could quite possible make my job a wee bit too easy!!
    Hope you can assist me with this issue.
    Cheers.

    Alignment is a paragraph level attribute, not a character level attribute, and therefor is assigned in the paragraph style. A paragraph can have only one alignment setting. GREP styles can only assign a character style, so cannot change alignment.
    You could, however, use Find/Change with GREP to find a pattern and assign a pragraph style or new alignment, you just can't automate it the way you do with a GREP style.

  • Editing Multiple Text layers in Photoshop CC

    Hi,
    I have a problem when tyring ot edit multiple text layers and it's really a big problem as it crops up with virtually every design I do (websites, games apps...)
    In previous versions of PS, you could select multiple text layers and edit them in bulk, so for exmaple, select a number of text layers, then change their font size (to say 20pt)... done.
    However, with CC, there seems to be some odd 'ratio' editing goign on - if  I select multiple text layers of different size and edit them (to all be 20pt, for example), it seems to just 'add' 20pt to what ever font size the individual layers were
    It's a real issue/pain for me (and I suspect many others)
    Please is there a fix or a way to switch off this 'feature'?
    So to clarrify, I want to edit multiple (often different) text layers in one go to be the same font size... like I used to be able to.
    Thanks.

    The last few times we saw this, it was due to a bug in a video card driver.
    Please update your video card driver from the GPU maker's website.

  • Bullets and Numbering "Text After" attribute

    Hi Everyone,
    I need to grab "Text After" attribute of and existing bullet list in InDesign document and change it to my text. I think, I need to get access to "kBNBulletTextAfterBoss", but I don't know which boss agregates it.
    Thanks

    I've found it a much better practice, especially in heavily numbered documents, to look for a paragraph style that can be set to start at zero. I usually apply it to any headings or subheadings where the numbering below remains consistent. But that's just my experience.
    You can also right click and restrat or continue numbering.

  • Can I format a paragraph in illustrator, with multiple text sizes?

    Hi,
    I have a number of paragraphs in illustrator that have the following...
    a title = Arial bold 18 pt.
    body text =Arial reg 14 pt.
    and indents with bullets
    It seems that illustrator only supports one font, size, color, etc. for each Paragraph style. I would like to be able to set the title to Arial bold, 18pt, Blue, and the body text to Arial regular, 14pt, white, with different leadings, within the same style setting. Does anyone know if this can be done?
    Thank you in advance.

    What are you guys talking about? Since when does InDesign support multiple text attributes for a single Paragraph Style? At least in CS3 InDesign's Paragraph Styles have settings for nested Character Styles and drop caps, but you still define one set of text attributes for the Paragraph Style itself.
    In principle it's basically the same in Illustrator. If you want to actually have multiple text treatments in one paragraph, you apply Character Styles to text ranges within the paragraph. Illustrator's implementation of it is pure crap in that inheritance and style redefinition does not work correctly, but the fact remains you certainly can have multiple text treatments in one paragraph, but it is not done with a single Paragraph Style. If using Styles (as you should) it is a matter of nesting Character Styles within paragraphs that have Paragraph Styles applied.
    But I strongly suspect that what Mr. Harley is describing is not really a single paragraph at all. He wants different text sizes, different indents, and bullets. That clearly involves multiple paragraphs.
    Harley, in part of your description of what you want, you seem to be referring to a single textframe object as a "paragraph." A paragraph is a range of text separated by a carriage return. When you define and apply a Paragraph Style, the carriage return defines the range of the Style. When you define and apply a Character Style, the selected range of characters define the range of the Style. You can use multiple Character Styles within a paragraph that has a Paragraph Style applied.
    But you are talking about the need to define several Paragraph Styles to use in one block of text, or "story" (one or several textframe objects). You just need to define three Paragraph Styles:
    Heading: Arial Bold 18 pt.
    Body: Arial Regular 14 pt.
    BodyBullet: Same as Body, but with different indents. Set a tab at the bullet location and at the left indent. (You type your bullet characters; you don't just select "bullets" from a setting.)
    Type all your text, using carriage returns as you would expect. Each carriage return marks the beginning of a new paragraph. (This is as true in Illustrator as it is in InDesign, Word, or anything else.) Click inside a paragraph and apply the appropriate Paragraph Style.
    Now suppose you want to use a convention within your document that emphasizes certain words or phrases by painting them magenta instead of whatever color is defined in the Paragraph Style. Create a Character Style. Name it Emphasis. In that Style, set the character color to magenta. Now swipe across a word in one of your paragraphs and apply the Emphasis Character Style. The whole paragraph still has the Paragraph Style you applied to it. But now the color of a few characters is overridden by the Character Style you have applied to those characters.
    Again, like many things in Illustrator, its implementation of Paragraph Styles and Character Styles is very sloppy compared to other programs. But it is not true that 'InDesign can apply multiple text treatments in a single Paragraph Style, and Illustrator can't.' At least not up to CS3.
