DVCPRO HD 720 timeline - problem with text tool

I'm working on a long project, and now when I make new text, the text is created in Square Pixel instead of HD 960x720. As a result, they need to be rendered. This was not a problem earlier, so something has changed. How do I make FCP create new titles using the pixel correct aspect?

OK, to make this more confusing, and went to an earlier place in the timeline, found a problem-free title, laid it into the SAME TIMELINE at a later location, and it still wants to render.

Problem with Text tool in Photoshop CS5

I just purchased PCS5 this morning and they told me that I should download the trial version till I get the actual CDs... I have Photoshop CS4 and never had any serious problems. After downloading and installing CS5 it seems everything is working ok... however there are 2 problems...
1. It does not interact with Bridge 4 (when I make changes in Bridge, CS5 does not see it)
2. Any time I try to click on 'TEXT' tool icon, the application crushes... and I cant do anything... I have to restart the application.
Dont care much about 1st problem, but can't do without the 2nd one....
Any ideas?
Thanks a million in advance

Hi
Have you tried following solutions?
- update Photoshop to 12.0.4
- remove bad & duplicated fonts and clear system font caches
- update or uninstall 3rd party font management application
- remove all 3rd party plugins including font management application plugin
- launch Photoshop 32bit mode
- upgrade your Mac OS
If above solutions don't help, please contact me ([email protected]).

Problem with text tool

I selected a text to change its colour, but when I changed the colour, the text disappeared, it gets erased, what can I do ? It gets erased when I want to change the colour, size etc, but always when the text is selected.

Yes, well I'm typing my text actually, and I try to change my settings, so my text is still here :
But when I chose my settings, the text is un-selected and erased.

Solved: InDesign CC: Problems with text in text box: text flows around invisible object

I just upgraded from CS4 to CC. I have two problems with text in some text boxes:
The text seems to flow around invisible object that I cannot find or delete. It's as if there is a photo or other object behind the text box; but when I press COMMAND-a to select all, I don't see any such object.
When I move this text box, the layout of the text within changes. For example, when the box is high on my spread, the text flows correctly within the box; but when I move it down, it flows around that hidden other object. For another example, when the box is low on the page, the text starts at the top of the box; but when I move the text box up, the text starts somewhere in the middle of the box.
I have checked margins of the text box and the paragraph options of the text paragraphs (margins, indents, alignments). They all look OK.
If I modify the text box, checking the box "Ignore text wrap", then the problem goes away; but then the text also will not flow around a real object that I want it to flow around.
Solution:
There were objects in a hidden layer on that one spread. It seems that in CS4 when you "select all" you would also select objects in hidden layers; but in CC it doesn't.

ID CS5: Problem with Text Wrap being Forgetful :(

I am having a problem with text wrap. Whenever I open this INDD file I am working on now, some of the images shift from having what I call "actual" text wrap to having "false" text wrap. "Actual" text wrap *actually* wraps the text around the image as it is supposed to; "false" text wrap says that "Wrap Around Bounding Box" is applied to the image yet no text is wrapped. After opening the file, making sure to unset and reset the text wrap on each offending image to show an "actual" text wrap WITHOUT changing layer order, saving the file, closing, and reopening, some images have "false" text wrap again! This is a 77 page document with images on every page.
Another occurrence is if I largely change the flowed text. If I must remove a paragraph on page 7, for example, then the "actual" text wrapped images on page 10, 12, and 18 change to "false" text wrapped images and I have to reset the text wrap on each image. There are often images in between offending ones that DO NOT change, but it doesn't seem to be the same ones each time. So once image A, C, and D will change to "false" text wrap, while B, E, and F are fine; the next time, A, B, and F are wrong and the others are fine. This is driving me crazy as I have never in 8 years of using InDesign encountered a problem using Text Wrap. Please note:
Ignore Text Wrap IS NOT selected.
The text box IS below the images.
The copy is flowed throughout the document.
Preferences>Composition>"Text Wrap Only Affects Text Beneath Selected"" DOES NOT FIX IT.
"Wrap around bounding box" IS showing as selected for the image/images.
There is NO CLIPPING PATH / PHOTOSHOP PATH / ALPHA PATH on these images.
The images / text box order is not changed between being correct and being incorrect.
Anyone else with this trouble? And, if so, how did you fix it? Thanks,

I'm having problem with text boxes. Whenever i hit the enter button to start a new line or paragraph, the cursor doesn't drop down to the next line. Instead i get this little red + sign in the box.

You are absolutely right. Thought Enter meant Enter. I was wrong. Thank you for the help.

Having problems with texts width when viewed in Firefox

I My site is OK when viewed in Chrome and Safari, but in Firefox, the width of paragraphs is becoming very long and all is displayed wrong.
I need a clue where to look to fix. I have not , or very little knowledge of HTML code. So I rely on the DW CS5 interface.
Thanks,D.

Thanks Nancy ,
I'll try,
Should I just paste your info between the brackets, I guess.
I am not so good with this but I need to spent a bit of time to fix this
old web site while another one is being designed.
Yes the images are too big, I'll reduce them, and optimize. This was
done in a rush..

Problems with Pro Tools 8, is it the software?

Hello, I know this is "Apple Discussions", but since I'm using Pro tools 8 with the new macbook pro, I might get some answers here. I recently bought pro tools 8, I already have logic though, but wanted to be in the pro tools world too so, the thing is that every time I use Pro Tools 8 with the digi 003, the session Im working on will stop with just a few plugins, and man this happens a lot, on the other hand is that nothing happens when I use the digi 003 with Logic 8, I mean, I could have like 20 plugins and It would not stop at all. Can anyone identify with this problem with pro tools 8, Because people tell me that on pro tools 7.4 that doesnt happen at all.
Thank you...

PT8 is much better with plug ins than PT7x, but is not in the league of Logic. I am a huge PT fan and use both Logic and PT8, and as much as I love the look and superior interface of PT8, Logic is like an ugly old car that goes 200 MPH. It's a performance beast. I've had ridiculous amounts of plug ins in Logic with not a whimper from the program.
PT8 is much more sensitive to things like whether you are using Firewire drives to record to (as opposed to internal SATAs on a Mac Pro), and many 3rd party plugs cause PT much grief. For high track counts and lots of plug ins, Logic is still King Kong.

I'm having some problem with Text imported from Motion into FCPro

Hey Everyone.
I've got an animation that I created in Motion.
The format for the timeline in Motion is NTSC DV 4:3
Final Cut has the same attributes to the sequence.
I have text on my graphic.... Some of it looks great. Some of it does not.
You can see it here.
http://www.drewwfilms.com/Temp/McClure/Graphic.html
The word "Show" looks terrible, where as the other text looks great.
I do have a filter on the word show... actually it's not even a filter it's just one of the style parameters which is Outline and Face. The outline attribute has a bit of a blur on it.
Still i would think this would copy over into final cut without and issue but for some reason it looks really bad.
Anyone have any ideas on this?
Thanks.

Your problem stems from the bright red on a dark background. It is particularly noticable on text because it is a uniform color.
You might have other elements in your movies that use this exact shade and it wiil happen there, but it is less noticable because that element consists of multiple tones and is probably moving.
Very saturated, bright reds always cause problems in video. It is a limitation of the medium.
If you want to learn more about this facinating subject, the keywords are *Chroma Rise Time*.
The solution: desaturate and/or lighten the red, change the color completely or live with it.
Once I render. I get the pixelation.
Your Motion clip is being rendered to your NTSC DV Sequence setting which is 1:5 compression.
The problem with the red is only made worse due to this.

Problems with text using Photoshop CC on Windows 8.1

I am using Photoshop CC on Windows 8.1. I get flickering on the screen as described by others. My main problem, however, is that when I try to use the text tool the layer goes completely black and I cannot see what I am typing or edit the text. I have tried updating my video card driver and my monitor driver. I have deleted the font cache file, I have tried using Photoshop without plug ins (I use Nic plug ins). The only thing that has worked is resetting the preferences by holding down alt+control+shift keys when starting photoshop. This allows me to enter text normally on one photograph and one only. Once I have completed that first photograph and load another I get the black layer. I desperately need help. If this continues I will have to cancel my membership as I was much better off using my Photoshop Elements 11 disc.
Any help will be very gratefully appreciated...............help seems to be very difficult to come by Adobe you make it very difficult for your customers!

Ok,I can appreciate that I may not have given enough information. You state that without proper system information nobody can help, but I need to know what information is needed. You also state that I should simply turn off hardware acceleration in the perfs. What does that mean? How do I do that? I have tried changing the GPU Drawing Mode to basic and it didn't work. Is this what you mean? You may be assuming a level of knowledge I do not have. From research I have done this seems to be a problem with windows 8.1 that Adobe have been aware of for about a year. I have followed all the online advice I have been able to find but nothing seems to be working.

Exporting DVCPRO HD 720p60 Quality Problems with P2 footage.

I have ingested several clips from P2 cards some shot at 24 and some at 60 using fcp 5.1.4. When I go to export out a QT file I choose file>export>using quick time conversion. Under format options I select DVCPRO HD 720p60 for compression type, but I get no quality settings under the compressor heading to modify. Just Motion, preview and data rate. All of wich are locked... When I hit okay the movie settings dialog box reads Compression:DVCPRO HD 720p60 Quality: Medium Dimensions: 960x720 (1248x702) (Compressor Native). How do I change the quality to best? A friend told me he had the option to change in fcp v 5.0.1. Also, in the Sequence Setting Dialog Box under QuickTime Video Settings I select Advanced and it shows me the compression type DVCPRO HD 720p60 and Motion with Frames per second, but the box under Compressor is blank as well. Is my software faulty or am I going about exporting exporting a high quality QT HD 720p60 file the wrong way?
Secondly, when I ingest footage from a P2 card does it maintain the frame rate data that it was captured at digitally regardless of the projects audio video settings? I ask this because one project I did the easy setup after I already created a sequence by mistake with dv settings and the footage show a vid rate in the bin at 23.98 fps regardless if it is footage shot at 23.98 or 59.94. When I made a new project using the easy setup from the start and ingested a clip shot at 60 it show in the as vid rate of 59.94 not 239.8 like the first project I made. A tad confused as I feel I am not getting the best quality out of my footage. Does this have to do with setting the camera to 24pn for variable frame rates? Or does the vid rate pull from the project setting?
As a side note, some of the footage I export appears to be slightly grainy, not sure if this is a result of the setting problems I am having.
Thank You in Advance!!!
Best,
Hans

If you are trying to export and maintain the same quality you have in the timeline then you don't need to use conversion. Just export to Quick Time Movie and check the box for Use Current Settings and Make Self Contained.

Problem with move tool? (Win 7)

On Photoshop CS4 , everytime I select the move tool and decide to move an object among a layer , it moves the object off screen , making it difficult to bring it back to the canvas to move . I know it isn't jumping layers , because only the object inside of one layer i moved , but ... am I the only one that has this problem ? How do I fix it ?
It doesn't only have this problem with the move tool , but with the text tool , marquee tools , and the brush tool , as well . The text tool would jump off screen , the marquee tool would position the marquee somewhere other than where I clicked it to be , and the brush tool would sometimes jump out of the brush outline . Can someone help ?

Standard questions:
Have you updated to version 11.0.1?
Have you updated your video drivers?
Is you video card compatible? See http://www.adobe.com/go/kb405711
Have you tried turning off OpenGL in preferences?
If the answer to all is yes, try resetting your preferences as described in the FAQ.
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/375776?tstart=0
You either have to physically delete (or rename) the preference files or, if using the Alt, Ctrl, and Shift method, be sure that you get a confirmation dialog.
This resets all settings in Photoshop to factory defaults.
A complete uninstall/re-install will not affect the preferences and a corrupt file there may be causing the problem.

However it still arise.
Please reply me the solution if you have some idea about this..

Selecting type with text tool - grabbing lines

This is has happened in the past but much more so with my current version of illustrator (I have CS2). When I use the text tool to revise text, it seems to want to select whatever lines are closest to the text rather than the text. This is very frustrating - I want my text tool to select whatever TEXT it is closest too, not lines. Is this a fault of the program or is there a setting somewhere I can change to make this happen less, or preferably, not at all?

Pressing Alt is
supposed to force-toggle the infuriating text tool between the TypeTool and the TypeOnAPathTool.
So if the path that you don't want to turn into a PathType object is an open unfilled path (like a manually-drawn underline, and it is in front of the text object you want to edit, this seems to work, when the TypeTool is selected:
1. Press Ctrl to momentarily invoke the most recently-used pointer. Select the underlying text object.
2. Release Ctrl. The TypeTool cursor returns. Note that when the cursor is in proximity to the path, it changes to the TypeOnAPathTool cursor (the one with the wavy line).
3. Press Alt. Note that the cursor changes to the TypeTool, and has a circle around it. Click and you should enter the text, not create a PathType object.
However, as far as I can figure out (actually, as far as I can bear to muck with this awful interface), this does not work correctly if the unwanted path is filled. Try this:
1. Create a text object with some text in it.
2. Draw a filled rectangle that overlays just part of the text.
3. TypeTool: Press Alt to momentarily invoke a pointer. Click the text object to select it.
4. Release Alt. TypeTool comes back.
5. Hover within proximity to the filled rectangle. The cursor becomes the normal TypeTool cursor enclosed in a circle.
This suggests that a click will enter the text, not create a PathType. Alas, it creates a PathType anyway. Try it again, this time pressing Alt. Pressing Alt makes the cursor change to the TypeOnAPath cursor, with no circle around it. Clicking creates a PathType.
Worst text-handling interface I have ever seen.

Problems with text in iWeb publishing much larger, or smaller than in iWeb (it is insane)!

More than a year ago I had a problem with my iWeb not publishing correctly: links to other websites would not open in a separate window as designed in iWeb. I got help from an AppleCare techie and after he did a lot of tests, he concluded I had a corrupted Domain file (which became apparent after I upgraded to OS Snow Leopard). I don't remember if I discussed with this techie another problem I had been having for as long as I had used iWeb, and that was "exploding" text: certain words, often italicized, would be huge, after publishing, relative to the surrounding text. Sometimes certain words, or sentences would be smaller than designed in iWeb. Through trial and error I would sort of solve these problems by enlarging text boxes, or making the offending word or phrase one text point smaller. Sometimes deleting the text box entirely, and starting over would work. And then there are the weird things that happen when my wife opens my website in Internet Explorer: things that make no sense and seem to be totally out of my control.
So, I've spent a long time rebuilding my website in this supposedly uncorrupted Domain file, and today I finally finished and published to my hard drive, checked it out, and the "exploding" text is there with a vengeance. So much so that I may just stick with my original ("corrupted") Domain file, the text problem on this new one seems even worse than the old one. Anyone had this problem? I meant to ask this question years ago, but got a bit lazy.
Another question is: I've heard Apple is going to discontinue iWeb. Despite my problems with the program, I rely on it. What are the options going to be for iWeb users?

Well you heard wrong didn't you!
Apple is discontinuing MobileMe, which is the hosting in favour of iCloud services which will not contain any hosting.
iWeb is an app and as far as we know you can still continue to use it - it will still work so carry on using it if you are happy with it.
If you want to look at other alternatives to iWeb, then others suggest RapidWeaver and Sandvox as being closer to iWeb - both are available via the Mac App store.
Also Freeway Express and Flux 3 are worth looking at - more design freedom and you are not restricted to templates as with RapidWeaver.
