How to add an animation to a text field with two lines?

I have a text field with two or more lines. Why isn't it possible now to apply a text animation?

For certain tasks, Titler and its Presets can be very good, and can simplify things greatly.
However, when one gets beyond the limitations of the Titler, I really like to create my Titles in Photoshop, and Import those as Still Images into my Project. I then use the power of Keyframing various Effects over time. This allows me much more control, BUT does require more hand-work. Still, that added control is too important to me, and I sort of like doing the handwork.
For the "alignment" of multiple Titles, to get multiple lines of Text, you can create the first Title, and then chose Duplicate Title. Initially, that will be identical, but you just change it, as is necessary. After you have changed that "second line of Text," place that Duplicate on the next Video Track, above the first Title, and use the Fixed Effect>Motion>Position, to move it down, to where it would be (by the height of the font, plus any desired Leading), if one had created a second line of Text on one Title.
I also like to use Alignment Grids, when things get critical, and create those in Photoshop, with a trasparent background, and just place them, on say Video Track 2, with all of my Titles above that. Just do not forget to remove any Alignment Grids, before you Export/Share the Timeline, or they will be part of the output video.
For more background on Keyframing (so very useful with more than just Titles), Steve Grisetti has done a multi-part tutorial, available as Basic Keyframing on Muvipix.com. I highly recommend it. Keyframing is simple to do, but can be a bit of a tough concept to grasp initially, and it's a subject that is tough to write about - takes longer to type instructions, than to do the work.
Good luck,
Hunt
PS - Do not know if you saw them, but Titler has two Alignment Tools - Align Horizontally, and Align Vertically, that can be helpful to center Text.

  • How to add a instruction to a text field

    Dear all,
    I am trying different ways to add a guideline to a text field. I tried
    1/ To insert a comment, but clearly it is not working with an interactive form in Adobe Acrobat,
    2/ To use text field and set the guideline as default value on the object palette but the problem are
    - The text field is not expanded horizontally even I chose Expand to fit option
    - The guideline does not disappear in case user do not use it
    - The box does not shrink also as users do not type enough lines
    3/ To use text instead of text field for the guideline, the problem is
    - There will be a large space between the two parts since the guideline is not supposed to be printed.
    My question is whether there is a smarter way to suggest users typing in the text field by giving the instructions without having it printed out. For instance, is there a way to have a hidden box, you know, it appears as users drag a mouse or click the field?
    I know this is might be a naive question, but please help me out. I would really appreciate.

    Wow there is a lot to cover in this thread......
    1. A flowed subform means that the content within that form will be placed from left to right top to bottom. In your case where you want to place objects beside each other they need to be within a positioned subform (this means the objects will maintain their position relative to the subform boundaries). So in your case I would break up the form into logical sections and wrap those sections into a flowed subform (make the subform dimensions span the page) then wrap all of the sections in a Page subform that is flowed. Now when it flows everything the positioned subform containers will span the page and will keep theobjects where they are positioned.
    2. Each cell can only house 1 object. You could add another column to add the second course date.
    3. You can add as many rows and columns as you need....so yes you could add a course code.
    4. The form can access a database for filling the form or for writing to the DB, but there are a few things you shoudl know. Reader does not have this capability and it must be enabled using LiveCycle Reader Extensions. This is a server based product so it is priced as such. If you have a small number of users it might be more cost effective to buy Acrobat for each user. Once that is taken care of the connection to the DB is controlled by an ODBC driver in the Windows OS. This means that each machine that loads the form will need to have this driver configured (cannot be automated) as well this solution will only work on a Windows machine. In bigger installations this becomes a maintenance nightmare for most IT shops. Do you still want to proceed down this path?
    5. A form can only create a single data file structure ....I do not understand what you mean by the last point....can you elaborate?

  • Forms: How to set a maximum size in Text Fields with automatic size

    ¡Hi!
    When I set a text field on my forms and I use automatic size for te text that the user can write, if the user don't need more space than the field size, when the text appears, Adobe Acrobat Pro always set the text-size to 14 or higher. How can I set a maximum size for that text? For example... 12 or 10...
    Thank you very much,
    Best regards from Spain,
    David.

    Ok. If I use a single line text field, changing the height of the field seems to be a simple way to solve the problem, but... what should I do when the fields are multi-lineal?
    Thanx for your quick answer.

  • How to combine two text fields from two lines to extend text.

    I am working on a form to enter property descriptions sometimes it takes one and a half lines of text. Is there a way to force the first line of text to continue onto the next text field on the next line with out having to tab? I was wondering if there was something like a text overflow to the next field. An example is I might have two words in the middle of the second line and a field on both sides. I just want the top to connect to the first next line field.  pcwp55

    This must be the day after Christmas or something Crazy people like me are still working. Okay -- I figured it out. Add a table with a single row and two columns, then insert a text field in each one, making it side-by-side. The trick is to make sure it is within the subform, and you must select the row and make sure to check "Allow Page Breaks within Content" on that row, because it isn't a default. It works. Thanks (to myself!).

  • Text Field with multiple lines

    I am trying to create a text field in the selection screen where it can insert a text with multiple lines for instance those text fields which you can see online where you can key in text lines after lines.
    How do you do that in ABAP?

    Hi
    See any Std program code for CREATING long Text lines
    See any application document HEADER or ITEM text and copy that code
    first declare a field with some table field
    like
    PARAMETERS: p_text like Tline-tdname.
    then keep a button (for Long text) and in the program write a code such that when you press on that line it will take you to text ediotr
    using the CREATE_TEXT fun module
    copy it from a std program text..

  • How to store/manipulate Date and long text fields with Dictionary project

    I am able to save string values into my backend (SQL Server) database in my web dynpro project but I am getting errors dealing with my date string and my long text (comments) field. 
    I want to figure out both how I need to define the fields in the dictionary project, how to define the context variables in web dynpro, and how to code the statements to pull the values out of the context and into fields I can use in my SQL insert. 
    Currently I have the date defined in the dictionary project as "date" and the comments as a 256-character string. 
    In the web dynpro context I have the date field defined as "date" and the comments field defined as "string".  Should I define a 256-character string type and use that as field type??
    In the code I am using the following to get the values:
         String s9 = (String) wdContext.nodeReceipt().getElementAt(wdContext.nodeReceipt().getLeadSelection()).getAttributeValue("Comments");
    String s5 = (String) wdContext.nodeReceipt().getElementAt(wdContext.nodeReceipt().getLeadSelection()).getAttributeValue("DateReceived");
    SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/mm/yyyy");
         try {
         Date dt = sdf.parse(s5);
         } catch (Exception e) {
              e.printStackTrace();
    I then try to insert all of my values with the following code:
    InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext();
      javax.sql.DataSource ds = (javax.sql.DataSource) ctx.lookup("jdbc/SAP/BC_JMS");
      java.sql.Connection con = ds.getConnection();
      java.sql.Statement stmt = con.createStatement();
      stmt.executeUpdate("insert into AVD_GEN_REC(VENDOR,DATE_RECEIVED,TOTAL_PIECES,LOGGED_BY," +
           "ADDRESSED_TO,BLDG_NO,CARRIER,TRACKING_NO, COMMENTS) values('s1','s5','s2','s6','s3','s7','s4','s8','s9')");
       } catch (Exception e) {
             wdThis.wdGetAPI().getComponent().getMessageManager().reportSuccess("Exception "+e.getMessage());
    Any help/ideas would be appreciated...

    The comment error seems to have resolved itself but I still get an error with the date field:
    Exception The SQL statement "INSERT INTO "AVD_GEN_REC" ("VENDOR","DATE_RECEIVED","TOTAL_PIECES","LOGGED_BY","ADDRESSED_TO","BLDG_NO","CARRIER","TRACKING_NO","COMMENTS") VALUES ('s1','d5','s2','s6','s3','s7','s4','s8','s9')" contains the semantics error[s]: type check error: new value (element number 2) is not assignable to column "DATE_RECEIVED" 
    The DATE_RECEIVED is defined in the data dictionary as "date", the context variable "DateReceived" is also a "date", and the statement to pull d5 is being stored to a "Date".  Is there a difference between the "Date" and "date"?
    Date d5   = wdContext.currentReceiptElement().getDateReceived();

    How do I add and/or remove text in a text field with a checkbox?
    this is my script in the text box......

  • How to add * wild card to a specific field on the selection-screen.

    Hello,
    How to add a * WIld card to a field in selection screen.
    SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF BLOCK B1 WITH FRAME TITLE TEXT-001.
    SELECT-OPTIONS : S_STCTS FOR G_STCTS OBLIGATORY,      "NUMBER SCHEME

    I need to add Wild card functionality to Number scheme field S_STCTS on selection-screen.

    Regards,
    Kittu

    Hi Kittu,
    Here is one sample code:-
    select-option : s_name like kna1-name1.
    start-of-selection.
    if s_name-low = '*'.
    select * from kna1 into table it_kna1.
    elseif s_name-low = 'pat*' or s_name-low = 'pat'.
    select * from kna1 into table it_kna1 where name1 like 'Pat%'.
    endif.
    In case of wild card Select should be :-
    select * from <dbtab> where <field> like 'P%'.
    You can also use RANGES in your Code.
    E.g. RANGES: R_OBJNR FOR JEST-OBJNR
    R_OBJNR-SIGN = 'I'.
    R_OBJNR-OPTION = 'CP'.
    R_OBJNR-LOW = 'K1*'.
    R_OBJNR-HIGH = 'K2*'.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks & Regards

    response.sendRedirect("middleHeader.jsp");
    in middleHeader.jsp,

    How to add a user defined HTTP header field to a HTTP
    response header? Are there some sample codes?
    Cheers,
    George

    the send redirect actually creates a new request (through the client) and thus a new response
    thus the headers you set in the response are gone for the next request/response
    You can try servletDispatcher.forward

  • How to Show Partial SSN in a Text Field

    Hi,
    I have text field on an apex page which takes SSN as input.
    How to show only last four digits of SSN after it has been entered.
    For Instance when I type 111-222-3333 and hit enter or tab, it should appear as XXX-XXX-3333.
    Thanks in Advance.
    Yogi

    Hi Yogi,
    You did not mention the most important thing.. Where are going to display the SSN ..
    if it is in report then:
    select regexp_replace ('111-222-3333','[0-9]{3}-[0-9]{3}','XXX-XXX') from dualOutput:
    SSN
    XXX-XXX-3333
    If you are going to show it on an item, then you should use that REGEXP in the source of your item... The source could be SQL or PL/SQL.
    If you need to show this format XXX-XXX-3333 as the values is being entered, the this plugin could be helpful:
