IMovie Text Options

I am working on a new macbook at work, and am starting my first movie (iMovie 11, I guess). I have inserted a Title slide into my movie, and when I go to adjust the text, it won't let me into any font (or other) options. It'll show me what font it defaulted to, but it is grayed out so I can't change it. Do I have to import some fonts or something?

If its a new MacBook you are almost certainly using iMovie 10 on Mavericks. Some title styles don't allow to change fonts. Others do. The latest update (10.0.3) has made more title fonts editable so its worth updating if you are using an ealrier version. Otherwise its just a matter of trying some different title styles.

Which iMovie text font am I in?

I like the "default" one, which doesn't seem be selected in the list. Somehow, in this multi-paged text that I'm making, the font got "switched" and now I'm in Helvetica Neue. But how do I get back to the default one?
The font that seems to be highlighted when I go to the system font list, STAYS highlighted for both the default font, and the Helvetica.
What am I missing?
Thanks...

Just the iMovie text, that's it. I did get back to that default one, ok.
I'm using size 3, with a color. I just need to take some time and fully understand all the text options available here. I'm a little confused because the
"default" text I talk about doesn't seem to be selected anywhere.

Text options

Hi all,
i had a question regarding when writing something with the text option in photoshop, you then have the option of making it smooth, strong, sharp, crisp.
What do these options do to the text? i cant really notice the difference, is there a recommended option for print or web that i should be using?

Depends on a number of factors:
how you want the type to look
resolution
file format (eg: gif or jpeg)
Font attributes: weight, serif thickness, webfont
so the answer would be very long. But thismakes an important differecne for low resoltuon digital graphics, and not so much for print.
None - Applies no anti-aliasing
Sharp - Type appears at its sharpest
Crisp - Type appears somewhat sharp
Strong - Type appears heavier
Smooth - Type appears smoother

I need to convert PDF file to Word Document, so it can be edited. But the recognizing text options do not have the language that I need. How I can convert the file in the desired of me language?

I need to convert PDF file to Word Document, so it can be edited. But the recognizing text options do not have the language that I need. How I can convert the file in the desired of me language?

The application Acrobat provides no language translation capability.
If you localize the language for OS, MS Office applications, Acrobat, etc to the desired language try again.
Alternative: transfer a copy of content into a web based translation service (Bing or Google provides a free service).
Transfer the output into a word processing program that is localized to the appropriate language.
Do cleanup.
Be well...

I deleted a contact, but they still show up in my text options to send. I would like to delete the contact from my texts too.

No don't restore your iphone. I've done that several times & it has never worked. -I still have deleted contacts in my iphone texts. *However if you do restore it you will not lose all your data, pics, text messages etc if you backup in iCloud. It restores back to original phone. Very nice :). Anyhowwww....
I JUST figured it out!! :))). Remove the contact from recents.
Start a text. You should see the deleted contact. All the way to the right of the name is a symbol. The symbol is a circle with "i" in the middle. Click that symbol then in red lettering click "remove from recents".

How do I get more text options in photoshop??

How do I get more text options in Photoshop? I have the basic package, but I would like more script options.
Thank you,

I don't suppose you have a full CC subscription? It comes with a feature called Typekit which I love. Along with an ever increasing range of top quality fonts, it has the best font manager I have used, and excellent search facility.
The web is full of additional font sites like dafont

Otherweise, Google is your friend
If you want Text Effects then Google will help you out there as well

Change Locale / UI Text Options of Photoshop CS4

Sorry to bug you all but I've searched the answer to this for two days and can't find anything.
I recently installed CS4 Design Premium on a PC running Windows 7. When I resize an image (Image>Image Size), the dialog window always displays the Document Size in centimeters. Unfortunately I'm in the U.S. and haven't yet converted to the metric system and it's a royal pain to change the drop-down to inches each time.
In my "Locales" folder the only subdirectory that exists is, "en_GB". In Edit>Preferences>Interface:UI Text Options:UI Language there is only one option available which is "English: UK". I'm pretty sure that during the initial install of the suite I selected "United States" as my Locale. And is there any reason to have a drop-down with only one choice and no means of adding others (no need to answer this one, I'm just thinking out loud)?
Is there any way to add the United States as a Locale without having to re-install the Suite?
Many Thanks

Is there any way to add the United States as a Locale without having to re-install the Suite?
The locale for the main program is defined by the serial, not necessarily by your language selection. Shared components derive their locale from this as well and/or in part from the system setting. That issue with installs wrongly using en_GB is quite common, though. It usually occurs when other Adobe software with shared components already was on the system and coerced the installer into using the wrong language. However, short of reinstalling everything Adobe after having sweeped clean with uninstalls and the CS4 Clean Script, there is no way to resolve this.

Saving preferred Shadow Text options in powerpoint 2013

Hello,
I'm trying to save my powerpoint format shape text options for shadow text, I see there are presets, but I am wondering would I be able to save a custom setting as a reset?
This is under Format, Text effects, shadow, shadow options.

maybe you can create a customized template to store shadow text.

More text options in Print Module

It's frustrating to be able to do just about everything in LR - but not quite. I'd like more text options for the printing module. For example, when I'm printing a limited edition print, I put the edition number in the bottom left corner, under the image, within the border of the print. The title goes in the middle, slighty larger font, and then possibly a watermark.
I can use the Identity Plate to create a nice looking title, but the Photo Info will only print in the middle with no options for positioning it anywhere else, or no options for other fonts.

I would second this proposal..... with a serious passion. I think it is unbelievable that Adobe will not provide us with the option to print the metadata with our images.
The current metadata print options are in the dark ages, a joke and an insult to anyone trying to put a proper caption on a printed image. For example, one cannot currently control the postion or font of a basic caption, never mind a considered template which might incorporate copyright, date, author, etc.. I also make folios (ala Lenswork). Unfortunately, a detour to PS also means that this must be done manually, rather than using a template. Adobe have all the tools to make this work, many of them are in the Slideshow module, so already the code is inside Lightroom. It is so sad that a company like Blurb can provide these tools free of charge in free software, but Adobe seem incapable of providing these basic features. I was disappointed they were not in version 1, frustrated when missing from version 2 and apoplectic when not in version 3. I might excuse the omission if I could build a template in PS which allowed me to place text from the metadata into a formattted page layout, but this is not possible either. So despite the fact I have purchased both Lightroom and Photoshop, and paid for upgrade after upgrade of both products, this basic facility is still missing.
I can only deduce that people in Adobe print images in two modes.
1) a lonely image in approx middle of the page with no text formatting or
2) an image in draft mode with a caption and a name plate and uncontolled other text in ad hoc placements (totally unsuitable for presenting to a client).
I would put this requirement ahead of so many other popular requests (even ahead of requests such as networked storage, soft proofing, etc). I can mention other software products who do a really good job of printing meta data with images, do serious work on sharpening, etc. for a fraction of the cost of the Lightroom / Photoshop combination. Becasue I am on an Adobe site I will not mention the names of these non Adobe products. If these small companies can solve this problem, surely Adobe can do so as well.
I also find that I cannot trust the page setup templates that I do create. It seems to me that many of the properties (ie page size, orientation, matt / gloss options) disappear without warning. I suspect this happens when I have problems printing to networked Epson printers (maybe others, but I only use Epson ...with Windows 7.) This is very frustrating when my template changes from Matt in to Gloss, with subsequent wasted of ink and frustration and lost time in correcting and re-updating the template.
Adobe, please finish the Print Module. I do not want any more glitzy updates to publishing to the most recent social media exchange medium. Can we not get basic printing working first.
(..... thanks for listening.....end of rant).

Wrap text options, are they really limited?

I was curious if there was a way to dial in precise NONuniform wrapping options.
I have a place holder box that I want the text to wrap around and give a 5pt space on all but the right side... I want that 20pts.
In the wrap text options it's all uniform.

You’ll have to edit the path to add 15 points to the right side. One simple way would be to copy it with a +15 point horizontal offset then merge the two paths with Pathfinder.

How to change imovie text color?

I am adding titles and subtitles to my film but, suddenly, all text of the completed film turned white! Since the background for the text is also white, this means that letters are barely visible.
I've spent two hours trying to fix the problem, using the Text Options and the types of letters to no avail. (Actually, no change at all once the titles are fixed seems to be possible using these tools.)
I would appreciate a little advice on this...

Layer Comps New Text option!

Hi,
I am using layer comps so much in my work flow.
Can you please add a feature of having the text option same as we have the visibility, position, fx.
Then say if I have the button i can create the different text options with the layer comps.
Thanks
Muhammad Jamal

This is a user to user Forum, so you are not really addressing Adobe here, even though some Adobe employees thankfully have been dropping by.

I moved a iMovie video from a macPro to an IMac. In iMovie the option to export the video to media browser is greyed out, but the video is not listed on iDVD media. How can I get iDVD to find it or find a way to re-export it to media browser?

I moved an iMovie from a MacPro to an iMac. In the iMovie share option Media browser is greyed out (It was previously shared to the Media b
rowser on the MacPro). The video is not listed in the iDVD media list. How do I get it listed in iDVD or find a way to re-export it?

Did you transfer a Quicktime movie files from the Mac Pro to your iMac? If so make sure the video plays correctly in Quicktime Player. If it does you can put it in your Movies folder and from there drag it into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones. It doesn't have to come from iMovie. You can just drag and drop into iDVD.

Installing APEX without Oracle Text Option

Hi,
Is it possible to install APEX 3.1.2 or 3.2 without the Text Option? The doc says yes, but the apex help can´t be used.
The last time i tried it on a customer side, i got an installation error (but i can´t remember the text of the error)
After installing Oracle TEXT it was ok.
Thanks
Marco

Marco,
I believe Oracle Text is required. This is from [Oracle Installation Document|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14373_01/install.32/e13366/pre_require.htm#CFHBDFEE] .
Tip:
The installer does a prerequisite check for Oracle Text and will exit if it is not installed.
