How do I add a text slide with split screen?

1st time editing anything, and I'm using FCP X.  I need to insert a few photos to my video. Each photo will be on left side of the screen and on the other half I want text displayed. Can anyone explain what I need to do?  Thanks!

my preferred method is, to create the whole frame in some pic-processor: background, cropped pic, title. Import resulting jpg to FCPX - done.
To do the compo in FCPX alone:
• add a background to the main storyline (Generators)
• add pic 'on top' of it; use Transform tools to size, crop, place it
• add title 'on top' of it, use Transform tool to size and place it.

  • How do i add a  blank slide

    How do i add a blank slide and text?

    In the slide show album
    As Frank said,   only you have to pick a slideshow Theme that will allow it (Classic, Ken Burns).  For example, in the "Places" theme these options to insert blank slides will be grayed out (in Aperture 3.4.3), since this theme creates its own titles based on the locations. Switching between themes will not help. Title slides inserted using another theme will simply be removed.
    With "Places" or "Reflections" the cogwheel menu will look like this: You'll have nearly no control about the slide transitions at all:
    To add blank slides to a slideshow these themes, create images with a solid black or white background by adjusting new versions of your images or creating them in an external editor.

  • How do you add plain text?

    Hi all!
    I have a very simple question, which is just what it says in the subject line of this topic.
    How do I add plain text into iMovie? No fades, no slides, no nothing, just plain text?
    From what I've been searching online, no one has answered this question, but then again, no one has asked it either.
    All I could find was 1 yahoo thread with the question in which the answer was not clear at all.
    I've been trying to find it myself by snooping around in iMovie, but as you might guess, unsuccessfully.
    From snooping around I've come to draw the conclusion that you probably can't add plain text into iMovie via iMovie directly.
    However, and idea I had was, if I create an image in, lets say Paint 2, with whatever plain text I want to add, and then insert it into the project. Will this have the same effect?
    Can anyone please confirm this? I'm going crazy just looking for such a simple feature hehehe.
    Thank you in advance!

    hmm, well ... a video isn't meant for reading (resolution, compression, blabla). ...
    so 'text' in a video should be very large in font, avoid tiny details, too much contrasts ... blabla again
    Advice using the Title-feature as 'text' isn't wrong.
    plus, iMovie is no text-processor, you copy/paste larger amounts of letters into it.
    If you need/want 'a page full of text' in iMovie, indeed you have to do the roundtrip by creating a 'picture' of your text-page, and insert that jpg to your Project.
    The good news:
    if your 'picture (=text page) is longer than the video screen, you can apply a nice Ken Burns effect to 'scroll' through the text ... in case, your audience reads as fast as you.
    bad news: max is 5:1 ratio of the 'page' ... so, no 'books' please ...
    Aside Star Wars ("... in a galaxy far, far away from here"), you should avoid 'text' longer than a usual title.
    (this answer/workaround isn't in the 'canned' replies of our hosts, you should forgive'em ... )

    How do I add a text box to an ibook page?

    Not very user-friendly IMHO, but ok here goes:
    Place a picture of the band in your body background's CSS
    with repeat:
    no-repeat. Then add a scrolling division to your html page -
    like so:
    <div align="right">
    <div style="font-family:'Verdana', 'Arial', 'Sans-serif';
    font-size:12px;
    color:#FFFFFF; text-align: left; background-color:#000000;
    border:2px solid;
    overflow: auto; padding:10px; width:auto; height:200px;
    border-color:
    #333333;"><h3>Your heading goes
    here</h3><br><br> More text goes
    here<br><br> and more text goes

  • How Can I replace newScale Text Strings with Custom Values?

    How Can I replace newScale Text Strings with Custom Values?
    How can I replace newScale text strings with custom values?
    All  newScale text is customizable. Follow the procedure below to change the  value of any text string that appears in RequestCenter online pages.
    Procedure
    1. Find out the String ID of the text string you would like to overwrite by turning on the String ID display:
    a) Navigate to the RequestCenter.ear/config directory.
    b) Open the newscale.properties file and add the following name-value pair at the end of the file:res.format=2
    c) Save the file.
    d) Repeat steps b and c for the RmiConfig.prop and RequestCenter.prop files.
    e) Stop and restart the RequestCenter service.
    f) Log  in to RequestCenter and browse to the page that has the text you want  to overwrite. In front of the text you will now see the String ID.
    g) Note down the String ID's you want to change.
    2. Navigate to the directory: /RequestCenter.ear/RequestCenter.war/WEB-INF/classes/com/newscale/bfw.
    3. Create the following sub-directory: res/resources
    4. Create the following empty text files in the directory you just created:
    RequestCenter_0.properties
    RequestCenter_1.properties
    RequestCenter_2.properties
    RequestCenter_3.properties
    RequestCenter_4.properties
    RequestCenter_5.properties
    RequestCenter_6.properties
    RequestCenter_7.properties
    5. Add the custom text strings to the appropriate  RequestCenter_<Number>.properties file in the following manner  (name-value pair) StringID=YourCustomTextString
    Example: The StringID for "Available Work" in ServiceManager is 699.
    If you wanted to change "Available Work" to "General Inbox", you  would add the following line to the RequestCenter_0.properties file
         699=General Inbox
    Strings are divided into the following files, based on their numeric ID:
    Strings are divided into the following files, based on their numeric ID:
    String ID  File Name
    0 to 999 -> RequestCenter_0.properties
    1000 to 1999 -> RequestCenter_1.properties
    2000 to 2999 -> RequestCenter_2.properties
    3000 to 3999 -> RequestCenter_3.properties
    4000 to 4999 -> RequestCenter_4.properties
    5000 to 5999 -> RequestCenter_5.properties
    6000 to 6999 -> RequestCenter_6.properties
    7000 to 7999 -> RequestCenter_7.properties
    6. Turn off the String ID display by removing (or commenting out) the line "res.format=2" from the newscale.properties, RequestCenter.prop and RmiConfig.prop files
    7. Restart RequestCenter.
    Your customized text should be displayed.

    I've recently come across this information and it was very helpful in changing some of the inline text.
    However, one place that seemed out of reach with this method was the three main buttons on an "Order" page.  Specifically the "Add & Review Order" button was confusing some of our users.
    Through the use of JavaScript we were able to modify the label of this button.  We placed JS in the footer.html file that changes the value of the butt

    if :p3_note_id is null
    then
    insert into notes (project_id, note, notes_month, notes_year) So, p3_note_id is NULL.
    Another option is that you have a trigger on table NOTES that generates a new note_id even for an update.

  • How do I add an Airport Extreme with Time Capsule to an existing non-Apple network?

    How do I add an Airport Extreme with Time Capsule to an existing non-Apple network?  I have an ISP provided wireless Router that has to remain as the base station.  I am able to join my 1/2TB Airport Extreme and Airport Express to the network, but I can't access/use Time Machine.

    One option would be to connect the Time Capsule (TC) to the ISP-provided wireless router by Ethernet. You can then configure the for a roaming network. Then, depending on what your goal is for the AirPort Express, you can either: 1) Add it to roaming network, 2) Configure the TC & the Express for an "extended" network, or 3) Configure the Express to "join" the roaming network for AirPlay.

  • How can I add header on printing with Numbers

    How can I add header on printing with Numbers? The previous version use to have it and I cannot find it in the new one ...

    Hi Tanya,
    Glad to hear that you found how to edit page headers and footers in Numbers 3.2. I agree that Help in Numbers 3 is woeful. No searchable PDF to download and use offline. All is online (one page at a time) and we need to know the terms we are looking for before we look.
    The first HelpDesk:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQHX-SjgQvQ
    For printing to paper where layout is important, I use Numbers '09 (Numbers 2.3) with its Print View. But it is orphanware. As the name suggests, there has not been a major overhaul since 2009. With that in mind, it is a useful version to hang onto while we hope and wait (and provide feedback to Apple) for something in future versions of Numbers 3.x to provide better layout capability.
    Indeed, each new update of Numbers 3.x has restored more of the old features while adding new features that are enhancements over Numbers '09. Many of the Numbers 3 enhancements reflect long-awaited wishes through this forum, and were passed on by Numbers Feedback to Apple. So it seems that Apple does take heed of feedback.
    In the meantime, I enjoy the charm of Numbers '09 whilst exploring the new features of Numbers 3.
    What has been GAINED in Numbers 3 is here:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5473882?start=75&tstart=0
    (Very long thread because it started with Numbers 3.0, and enhancements have continued through Numbers 3.2).
    Hints on workarounds in Numbers 3 is here:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/23622372#23622372
    Some workarounds are no longer needed, but what amazes me is how many Numbers '09 features (the so-called "lost" features) were not lost; the settings have simply been moved. Moreover, many features such as margin settings carry over with a Numbers '09 document or template into Numbers 3.
    Hints for layout on screen before printing to paper:
    Try Alignment Guides and Rulers as suggested here:
    Print View workarounds
    Use a layout guide:

  • How do I add vertical text in a cell

    How can I add vertical text within a cell. In Ecel it is easy as pie but I can't seem to find a quick fix in "numbers"?

    Rotation of text in a table cell is not supported in Numbers.
    The most often recommended workarouns is to use a floating text box. Rotate the box 90° (or other desired value), make sure that Wrap is set to 'none', then place the text box in front of the cell.
    For other suggestions, see some of the posts in the "more like this" list to the right.
    Step 2 is to make a request to Apple that this feature be added. Go to the Numbers menu in Numbers, choose Provide Numbers Feedback (or use the link), make your request that this feature be added to future versions of Numbers.
