FCP TEXT Shifting when applied to Timeline

This is driving me crazy...I have two tracks of video. They are scaled down to 50% and side by side on the screen. I place text on the timeline above the video and when the text appears it Shifts and makes the video shift as well. I have 3 other sections in the program with the same sequence....and it is fine. What is going on ....anyone?

Try copying the text where it worked and then pasting it in the section where it won't. Also, make sure to clear all ins and outs on the timeline.

Dynamic text shifts when style changes

I have some dynamic text fields that are set up so that when
you rollover them (actually a button behind them), their formatting
changes. This is done with some basic actionscripting, setting up 2
different text format variables and attaching one or the other to
the text field when a button is rolled over. The only thing that
changes is color. When the text first appears all is well. But when
you rollover the text and the color changes, on certain browsers an
extra space can get inserted at the beginning of a new line, sort
of like the old bug where text wrapping messes up and moves a space
down to the beginning of a line. This happens on IE 6 and 7 and
Safari, not Firefox. The player is 9. THanks.

Did not, I was happier with the browser's display than with
the embedded font version. May try it just to see if problem
remains. Seems like something I should be able to avoid without
having to embed though.

Text Shifted When Website Published

I just published a site using iWeb for the first time, and I'm using a third-party host (50 Webs-free hosting). The site published successfully, and it's a very simple site, mostly just text. The text looks great in iWeb, it is all contained within the existing background color blocks. However, when I look at it on the web, all of the text is shifted to the left. It looks like the text box is bigger than it actually is.
I tried to access the original text box in iWeb, and I can't seem to do it. How do I get the text to appear the same on my computer screen as it does in iWeb?

What's the URL of your site and the text box of interest so we can examine it first hand? Also make sure you don't have the text box snug around the text. Enlarge the box a big larger than the text requires. Also don't have boxes overlapping other boxes or objects.

FCP shuts down when playback from timeline starts

I am running a MAc G5 Tower on Mac OS X 10.4.10 with 2 Gb of RAM. I have Final Cut pro 5.0.4 and when i open a project i know has worked in the past it shuts down as soon as i hit the space bar or play button. Does anyone have any insight on my problem

Have you tried the basics.... trashing FCP preferences?

In FCP, holding Shift when moving a clip from track to track would lock it in position vertically. Can you do this in Premiere Pro?

That was pretty much the question right there.

First reset position and scale. If you insist on doing this in the inspector then in the crop function in the inspector use the Type pop to select Crop. There are three options: Trim, Crop, and Ken Burns. It's easiest to do this in the viewer. After you reset position and scale, the transform function, press Shift-C. You'll see three buttons at the top as well as a keyframe button. Select the middle button and press the keyframe button when the playhead is at the start position. It'll look like this.
Go to the end position and change the crop value. It'll look like this or something like it.
Click Done.
Can you do this step-by-step and see what happens?

Text Shifts when publishing

How do I keep the the text from shifitng? In iWeb the page looks fine but after publishing the text moves causing rows of text get out of alignment. I have to keep republlishing after inserting (or deleting) spaces to get back into the best alignment possible. Truly not wysiwyg in iweb to the published page.

I just revisited your 'Schedule' page. If you pick "View Source" in the Safari 'View' menu you can see the HTML that iWeb built. The 'May 27' entry has one more 'space' char at its front that the 'May 26' entry. I don't see how that ever looks right whether in iWeb or a browser.
As I said earlier, a variable width font (like Hoefler or Times) cannot be reliably aligned with 'space' chars.
Please try building two parallel text boxes and eliminate the white space before each line (in each box). If you need to indent, use the iWeb Inspector's Text 'text' or 'list' properties.
Otherwise pick a fixed width font like Courier. Only then will the space chars be the same width as the visible chars.

Document text shifts when converting from Word

I'm getting so frustrated. I am converting Word 2003 documents to Acrobat 8 pdf's. Without fail, the document size shifts upon conversion. So, if I have a table, the PDF is smaller than the Word version. I tried making Acrobat my default printer and then creating the document in Word and converting it to PDF, but that doesn't seem to help.
Any ideas on how I can stop this?

Try printing to the Adobe PDF printer if that is not the procedure you have been using. May not fix the problem, but worth the try. Check the printer properties, there are often options for shrink to fit and such. Also look at the print preview and be sure it is not a WORD option!

I need to revert my timeline back to where it was before it was saved. I made a compound clip and then trimmed it and exported it and then shut down fcp. So, when I opened it back up there was only the compound clip. Can someone help me and tell me how?

Select the compound clip and do Clip->Break Apart Clip Items (or Cmd-Shift-G).

Text shifts down when overtyping

I'm in an office with 2 Macs with Indesign.
When typing over text (i.e. replacing a name on a business card) on one, the text is bumped down slightly. On the other terminal, this doesn't happen.
I assume that there will be a box to tick or untick, but so far I cannot work out where.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Regards
Ben

If the same file behaves differently on two different systems, I suspect a display anomalie. I saw something similar just yesterday with a business card I did in CS3. When defining and applying a style based on the formatting for the text, the text shifted very slightly on the screen, but there was no change in the specifications for the type.
It's possible, of course, that both you and I are seeing a case where the hidden paragraph break at the end of the paragraph has different specifications than the rest of the text (can happen when highlighting and applying local formatting), but that would affect the file in general and should be apparent wherever you do the editing.

Timeline shifts when I when I slow or speed a clip

How do I stop the entire timeline from shifting when I change the speed (from the Modify menu)? If I make the clip slow motion, it enlarges and every track shifts to the right. I just want a particular clip to enlarge and everything else in the timeline to stay put. Help?

In FCP 7 you can turn off the timeline rippling effect, in earlier versions you can't.
What I used to do (prior to FCP 7) was to select and copy the clip to be adjusted, move to the end of the timeline, paste the clip at the end of the timeline, adjust the speed to where I am happy, then trim the speed adjusted clip so that it is shorter than the original (by dragging the right end of the speed adjusted clip to the left), copy that and paste it back over the original clip, adjusting its duration to fit the edit.
Hope this helps.

FM 10 Crashing when applying conditional text tag

Hello everyone.
For some reason, FM keeps crashing when I try to apply a conditional text tag to a table (entire table). The funny thing is I have been doing this same thing for three months now with no problems before today, even have two tables in the same document with different tags applied to them and they are working fine. But when I try to add this one, I crash. I have rebooted my computer and made sure all my drivers are up to date, but now I'm at a loss. Any help?
Thanks.

Yes, I can apply the tag to the pictures in the document, its only when applying to the table. I am selecting all rows in the table with the mouse and then selecting the tag, clicking the radio button "in" and then clicking the "Apply" button. It then asks "apply condition tag settings to all rows in table?" I hit "ok" and then it freezes, screen shots provided.
Pic 1: My project at table causing problems.
Pic 2: Me selecting the table and choosing to apply tag.
Pic 3: Me affirming I want to apply the condition to all rows.
Pic 4: Program stops responding.

Fonts that I dont have on my comuter are showing in FCP text drop list?

Ok I had downloaded a font last year when i was using fcp 6 and when I did a clean instal of my OS I forgot to save it so it got deleted. I never downloaded the font again. So now im using FCP 7 and when I go to enter some text on some footage that font appears in the drop list. I can selected it and apply it to the footage. But I checked my font book and did a search for that font and its not on my computer. so how is this possible?

Depending on how you searched, Finder does not always look at all possible locations.
Fonts can be in the Following directories:
*Macintosh HD/Library/Fonts.* These fonts are installed by applications or the user. Available to all.
*Macintosh HD/System/Library/Fonts.* Installed by Mac OS X. Available to all. Do not tamper with the fonts in this folder.
*Macintosh HD/Users/user name/Library/Fonts.* Installed by and only available to that user account.

Adding Symbols and Underlining using FCP Text Generators

Hello:
I would like to add the © symbol to FCP text and underline text. How is this possible? Thanks.

Underline and scroll could be a bit tricky. You woud have to move two separate elements -the text and the underline generator together. I suppose you could nest them and apply a move to both at the same time if its just a short piece, it gets complicated when that has to appear somewhere in the middle of a longer scroll.
I prefer to make a still in Photoshop for scrolls and move the whole thing with only two keyframes.
You just need to make a Photoshop canvas that is tall enough to hold all the text. Photoshop also supports the underline function (in the Paragraph palette).
In LiveType, you can type a row of hyphens below your text and adjust the Tracking to squash them together make a solid line, then adjust the Leading value to move it into position.

Text "shifts" through cross dissolves

This is kind of hard to explain...but when I am editing text onto a black background (ie: Blah Blah Blah Productions Presents Blah Blah Blah") the text shifts around, kind of jumps around when I add in cross dissolves. Anyone else experience this? Any way around this?

Deinterlacing will not help, it's not a factor here.
Chances are you have your render controls set to something other than BEST. That is, your text file exists at one quality level but your render files are being processed at a slightly lower quality. When FCP plays the files back in order, you see the change from the text file to the newly rendered video file as a visual hiccup. When you change the render settings, your transitions should all turn red and require re-rendering.

How can I disable e-mail and text messages when I'm close to or over my data quota ?

How can I disable e-mail and text messages when I'm close to or over my data quota ?
Is this possible? I don't see any options?
All I see is this:
Receive confirmations of many account transactions via Email and/or free Text Alerts delivered right to your cell phone. You can receive these confirmations for
   transactions done online, over the phone or from your handset. Account management Text Alerts do not count against any Messaging allowances.
      Your bill is ready for review.
     Payment Confirmations: Your payment has been received    Your credit/adjustment     has been applied.1
     Account Activity Confirmations     Plan changes     Feature changes1

What phone?
You would need to disable data on the phone itself. You wouldn't do it online on your account.
Note also that text messages do not count toward your data allowance.
