How to fade out lines of scrolling Text as they reach top of screen

Hello,
What I require is scrolling text (full screen width) & the ability to make the lines of text fadeout as they reach the top of the screen. Making the scrolling text fade out as it reaches the top of the screen is easy with Final Cut Express & I think makes for a more polished presentation instead of the text scrolling off the top of the screen.
I have tried using “feather” in the Mask effect in Final Cut Pro x but I cannot make the top line of full screen scrolling text fade. Is there any way to achieve this effect in Final Cut Pro x ?
Thanks, JohnH

Hello Luis Sequeira1 Thanks for your reply,
As you can see Karsten Schlüter replied to an earlier request from me regarding the same subject & yes it is possible to obtain the fade effect using “feather” in the Mask effect. However I’m surprised that there is not an easier way to fade out the top line of scrolling text. I was hoping someone would have a quicker way of achieving the effect – It’s so quick with Final Cut Express. Either my iMac is not up to running Final Cut Pro x (3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 4GB 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM) or the Final Cut Pro X Trial version is different to the full version (Apple says both versions are the same) I find it hard to believe that an effect that is so easy in Final Cut Express is so difficult to achieve in the supposedly all singing & dancing Final Cut Pro x.

How to key out black background - scrolling text

Hi, I have created scrolling text for credits at the end of my movie. How do I key out the black background to use as an overlay? Am I missing a setting? Thanks.

hmm ... if you save this motion project and import it into final cut pro, it'll be transparent.
maybe i don't understand what you mean.
you don't export a movie from motion, you save the file and the rendering is then handled by FCP.

How to fade out text on top of video footage?

Not quite sure how to sum up my question in Subject line, but here's what I'm trying to achieve: I've placed a text (Lower 3rd) on the V1 track, and a video clip on the V2 track. The Composite of the text is 'Normal', the video clip is 'Travel Matt - Alpha'. So the video appears inside the font, which is what I wanted.
But now I'd like to fade out the font, while just leaving the video play. When I add a Fade In Fade Out effect to the text, though, the video fades out as well, until the effect is over. Do I make sense?
Is there a way to just fade out the font (or Dissolve or Slide) without touching the video?
Thanks!

The video should be on V1 and the text on V2.
Click the zig zag button at the bottom left of the timeline and you will see an opacity line going across your clips just below the top of them.
Put a keyframe on the opacity line of the text clip around a couple of seconds before the end.
Put another keyframe at the end of the text's opacity line and drag it to the bottom of the clip.
This will cause just the text to fade out.
You can do the reverse at the beginning to make it fade in if you wish.
PS. To create keyframes click P and your cursor will become the Pen (Keyframe) tool.

How can I combine a lot of text and images on the same screen?

How can I combine a lot of text and images on the same screen? I can get a couple of words on the screen with a graphic but not 10 lines. I need 10 lines on the page with the image.

Priscilla,
I routinely combine 10 lines of 36 pt bible or lecture text to a suitable background using Boris Title 3D.
Many times the text is too long to fit the screen using Boris, so I devide it into 2 or more parts with no transition between sections.
In my case, the text is on the screen as the speaker quotes them.

How to read every line from a text file???

How can i read every line from my text file ("eka.txt")
now it only reads the first line and prints it out.
What is wrong with this?
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
class Testi{
     public static void main(String []args)throws IOException {
     BufferedReader stdin=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
File inputFile = new File ("eka.txt");
FileReader fis =new FileReader(inputFile);
BufferedReader bis = new BufferedReader(fis);
String test=bis.readLine();
String tmp= "";
while((bis.readLine().trim() != null)) {
int spacefound=0;
int l=test.indexOf(" ");
     for(int i=0;i<test.length();i++){
     char c=test.charAt(i);
     if(c!=' ') tmp+=""+c;
     if(c==' ' && (spacefound<1) && !(tmp.equals(""))){
     tmp+=""+c;
     spacefound++;
     if(tmp.length()==l) {
     System.out.println(tmp);
     tmp="";
     spacefound=0;
     if(tmp.length()<l){
     for(int i=0;i<=(l-tmp.length());i++)
     tmp+=""+' ';
     System.out.println(tmp);

Try this code, Hope it servers your purpose.
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
class Testi {
     public static void main(String []args)throws IOException {
          BufferedReader stdin=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
          File inputFile = new File ("Eka.txt");
          FileReader fis =new FileReader(inputFile);
          BufferedReader bis = new BufferedReader(fis);
          String test=bis.readLine();
          while(test != null) {
               StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(test," ");
               while(st.hasMoreTokens())
                    System.out.println(st.nextToken());
               test = bis.readLine();

How to fade out button as menu fades?

I've searched the forums and manual to no avail.
I created a menu that fades to black before jumping to the loop point. Is it possible to fade out the highlighted button as my menu fades to black and jumps to the loop point? Otherwise, the button remains highlighted on screen as the menu fades to black.
I understand how to fade in a button by using Final Cut or Motion and an overlay file, but this of course wouldn't work when fading out a button since the button remains on screen while the video "button" fades out.
Thanks in advance for any advice.

If you add a transition from the menu to the track, such as a dissolve, it should not carry over the highlights - not sure if the button itself is on the highlights. But lets say you have an arrow next to the text that highlights that should not be seen in the transition portion, but it will be abrupt. Also if there is motion after the loop point you will not know when the button is pressed, if it is effectively a still then the fades are smoother.

How to insert new line in a text file

1 2 3
4 5 6
until now i know only how to insert data but not new line.
Thanks in advandce

Hi you can put a new line in a text file using System.getProperty("line.separator"). This implementation will work for every OS.
import java.io.*;
class Demo{
public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {
FileWriter fr = new FileWriter("FileDemo.txt");
fr.write("AAAAAAAAAA");
fr.write(System.getProperty("line.separator"));
fr.write("AAAAAAAAAAA");
fr.close();
}

Since the word "TEXT" is formed of 4 letters, you would read the text file 4 bytes by four bytes. Wrong on two counts. First, the file may not be encoded 1 byte per character. It could be utf-16 in which case it would be two byte per character. Second, even if it were 1 byte per character, the string "Text" may not start on a 4 byte boundary.
Consider a FileInputStream object "fis" that points to your text file. use fis.read(byte[] array, int offset, int len) to read every four bytes. Convert the "TEXT" String into a byte array "TEXT".getBytes(), and yous the Arrays class to compare the equality of the read bytes with your "TEXT".getBytes()Wrong since it relies on my second point and will fail when fis.read(byte[] array, int offset, int len) does not read 4 bytes (as is no guaranteed to). Check the Javadoc. Also, the file may not be encoded with the default character encoding.
The problem is easily solved by reading a line at a time using a BufferedReader wrapping an InputStreamReader wrapping a FileInputStream and specifying the correct character encoding.

How to highlight a line in a text stream and position the cursor at the end.

I would like to select a line in a text control data stream, highlight the text, and place the cursor at the end of the line so that the text control can be edited at that point.

Depends on what you mean by "highlight". If you mean highlight in the sense of when you use the mouse to select text, then you can't do that and then place the cursor at the end, since that would effectively "unhighlight" the text. You need to use a different kind of "highlight", like turning the text bold or something. This KB article talks about highlighting particular characters: How Do I Highlight Particular Characters in a String Control?

How do I remove lines from linked text?

Hello,
in my DW I can define this in the (translated from my german DW) page properties, see screenshot

How to display multiple lines in a text box defined in steploop.

Hi,
I have a requirement to display data ( which is dynamic in nature. I determine data type,length etc dynamically) in a table format. I am using step loop for the same. I am facing a problem. Some field can be as long as 256 char long. Is there any way to display multiple lines in text box defined in a step loop so that I can display the complete string as one entity.
I can't use custom control as custom control can't be defined in a step loop or table controlI would really appreciate your help on this.
Regards,
Sanjeev

Hello Sanjeev
Perhaps it is possible to use a <b>mixed strategy</b> consisting of a classical table control (or, even better, an ALV grid list) where you display the first 250 character of the data and next to the table control you place a simple textedit control. When the user selects one of the text fragments in the table control the entire text will be displayed in the textedit control.

By Java how to delete some lines in a text file containg some character?

Hello All,
I am having a text file [Basically It is a Sql File]. its containing some commented lines.
All i need to do is, By using a java Method I have to delete All the commented lines in That file .....
For Example if My file is like following.
/**** Commented By Kannan *********/
Select * From Employee;
go
/******************** Commented by Others ********/
Select * From DevMembers;
go
/*** Ends here **********/
And the output file would be
Select * From Employee;
go
select * From DevMembers;
go
can Anyone Help me in this regards,
Akram Kannan

BufferedReader should probably wrap the FileReader if you will be reading line-by-line. Same with the Writer.
And a simple -
if ( "/*".equals(record.substring(0,1) ) ... should handle the comment locations bit.

How to add many lines in the Text View in Web Dynpro

Hi friends,
I have one Text Edit in Web Dynpro. I need to show the result of FM READ_TEXT in Text Edit View element, without lose the text format.
Cardinality of my node is 0:n and attribute datatype is string_table. after assigning the values using bind_table method, I am getting only the first row of the read_text returns...
By
deva

Hi Deva,
Text View is not meant to be bound to string_table. Create a string instead and convert that string table into that string with
<br>
between each row of string table. TextView component will make <br> into new lines. Code will be similar to following.
DATA: ROWS TYPE string_table,
      top type string,
      result type string.
      loop at rows into top.
        concatenate result top into result separated by '<br>'.
      endloop.
Now bind this result string to the text view component. It ll work. Hope it will be helpful for you.

How to read specific lines from a text file using external table or any other method?

Hi,
I have a text file with delimited data, I have to pick only odd number rows and load into a table...
Ex:
row1: 1,2,2,3,3,34,4,4,4,5,5,5,,,5 ( have to load only this row)
row2:   8,9,878,78,657,575,7,5,,,7,7
Hope this is enough..
I am using Oracle 11.2.0 version...
Thanks

There are various ways to do this. I would be inclined to use SQL*Loader. That way you can load it from the client or the server and you can use a SQL*Loader sequence to preserve the row order in the text file. I would load the whole row as a varray into a staging table, then use the TABLE and MOD functions to load the individual numbers from only the odd rows. Please see the demonstration below.
SCOTT@orcl12c> HOST TYPE text_file.csv
1,2,2,3,3,34,4,4,4,5,5,5,,,5
8,9,878,78,657,575,7,5,,,7,7
101,201
102,202
SCOTT@orcl12c> HOST TYPE test.ctl
LOAD DATA
