Inserting a text clip in a slideshow.

I'm creating a slideshow in iMovie. I have successfully imported and arranged pictures, video and audio and added transitions to spiff it up.
The question I have is how to add text clips in between pictures. For instance, I want to insert a poem between 2 pictures but I can't find any options that allow me to do this. Under the "Editing" tab there are "Titles" but these are predefined and don't really allow for more than a couple of lines of text. Those titles that allow for additional lines of text are way too structured in that it presents 2 lines of text at a time.
Any suggestions? I tried creating a Word document that has a colored background and text but the program doesn't seem to want to import it.

There must be an easier way as I'm sure many people do something similar....
What is Apple's equivalent of MS Paint? I guess I could create the graphic and save it as a .jpeg as you suggested. Scanning each item I create 'kinda seems like overkill for something that should be relatively simple to do.
BTW.....The "Titles" options doesn't work well if you want to add 6 lines of text 'cause they group things together in 2 lines of text at a time which looks awkward for some things. I want the 6 (or however many) lines of text to be grouped together.

  • Inserting formatted text

    How can I insert formatted text into the sequence, keeping it transparent so I can show it over another clip? The text generator doesn't let me vary the text within one frame. So if I have, "The Doodad Theatre Production of, Don Juan" and want to make Don Juan bigger, I can't. Also, Title 3D does not show up in my popup window and I can't find a way to access it.
    Thanks for your help!

    Two ways to get it done;
    #1. Reinstall the Boris Calligraphy plugins from your FCP install disc. Title 3D is part of that plugin bundle.
    #2 Create the text in Photoshop as a TIF or PSD with a transparent backround, then import the PS file into FCP.

  • Inserting a audio clip

    i want to insert a audio clip but i cant seem to get it to work

    Hi There:
    Please share more details:
    - What is the audio file type?
    - How you are doing it at present?
    Generally embedding audio incorporates the sound directly into the page, but the sound only plays if visitors to your site have the appropriate plug‑in for the chosen sound file. Embed files if you want to use the sound as background music, or if you want to control the volume, the way the player looks on the page, or the beginning and ending points of the sound file.
    When incorporating sound files in your web pages, carefully consider their appropriate use in your web site, and how visitors to your site use these media resources. Always provide a control to either enable or disable the playing of the sound, in the event that visitors don’t want to listen to the audio content.
    #In Design view, place the insertion point where you want to embed the file and do one of the following:
    - In the Common category of the Insert bar, click the Media button and select the Plugin icon from the pop-up menu.
    - Select Insert > Media > Plugin.
    #In the Property inspector, click the folder icon next to the Link text box to browse for the audio file, or type the file’s path and name in the Link text box.
    #Enter the width and height by entering the values in the appropriate text boxes or by resizing the plug‑in placeholder in the Document window.
    These values determine the size at which the audio controls are displayed in the browser.

  • Attachments can't be dragged to desktop, get Text Clipping instead

    Has anyone had this problem?
    I have a MacBook Air, OS 10.5.2, Mail 3.2. Every time or almost every time (98% of the time) when I try to drag an attachment or attachments to the desktop (from the attachment window within the email) I get a Text Clipping on the desktop instead of the documents.
    I can save to the downloads folder and drag them out of there but that's just another time consuming step.
    This has never occurred before with previous Mail versions until I got my MacBook Air and 10.5.2.
    Anyone else having this problem?
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Jim

    Andrew,
    I will have to pay attention to the body of the email to see if the attachment is highlighted. I do not try to drag it out of the body of the email, I turn down the triangle for the attachment window, revealing the attachments, highlighting them and then double click using my multi-touch pad and then try to drag them out (I do not use the touch bar below the pad area anymore). Most of the time, I can not see the entire email or the attachments in the email body, so I have never noticed if they are highlighted. They most likely are if I highlight them in the attachment window as I do.
    The weird thing is, I have dragged out attachments the exact same way for years using Mail, but now there seems to be a problem.
    Thanks for the suggestion.

  • Text clipping content disappeared on Google Drive

    I am running OS 10.7.5 on 2009 Mac Pro. I created some text clipping files by selecting text from some web pages (in latest version Firefox) and dragging to a folder on my Google Drive. When I  open them at a remote location on a different machine which also shares/syncs my Google Drive folder, the contents of the text clippings has disappeared. On the bottom of the text clipping window there appears "clipping contents: unknown" instead of "clipping contents: text" that appears with a normal clipping file. When I create a clipping file on my desktop, upload it manually to Google Drive and then check my Google Drive folder (where it syncs almost immediately) The same thing happens. So Google Drive does not like clipping files. Question is, what about them causes Google Drive to drop their content? Is this, as I would expect, common to all versions of Mac OS or peculiar to Lion? Thanks for any insights.

    Hello,
    I'm giving a try at your application and so far, it is great!
    I understand that you're working on a way to help moving back files to google drive. Actually, I can copy / paste, but it always renames the files, so I end up with both a "copy of" and my original file.
    could you save and overwite the original file when it already exists ? (perhaps an option in the settings) ?
    Thanks!

  • How to insert sales text (MM02) into a single record of a Ztable.

    Hi,
    I'm extracting data from different data base tables and populating a Ztable which has Matnr as primary key and sales text as a field.
    I have already used READ_TEXT to display the text and it is displayed in multiple records which in turn leads to duplication of Material numbers.
    Now I want to avoid duplication of records (Matnr) as this being a primary record, and display the sales text of a particular material number into one single record.
    Can anyone tell me how to insert sales text (MM02) transaction into one single record.
    Thanks,

    Thanks & Regards,
    T.R.Harihara SudhaN

    Hi,
    you have to get the TextModel associated with the textframe. Once you got that, ITextModel has an Insert()-method. You could also process kInsertTextCmdBoss - there are quite a few examples around. I believe WriteFishPrice also inserts text into a frame, just as an example. Good luck ...

  • Please Help.JTable insert styled text

    Hi all java guru,
    on post http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=57&thread=485469 i've depicted my scenario in which i have a JTable where i want to add styled text.
    i've implemented a CustomTableModel that maintains information about text style, in such way that when renderer cell, i can rebuild exact text with its style....same method is adopted for CellEditor.
    It is possible to have more than one JTable in my application....then to correctly handle all JTables ' put them in a vector and during editing and rendering i find current focusable/selected JTable and edit/render it.
    Clearly i maintain information about style of text when i insert it, that is when i insert text, i update my CustomTableModel...same thing must be done when i delete text from JTable...that is, i must update CustomTableModel too in this case.
    Because my CellEditor is a JEditorPane component (extend it) i've registered document associated to it to a DocumentListener that notify every time that a remove operation is happens.
    What is the problem now???problem is that when i finish to edit a cell and click on another cell i've got a removeUpdate(DocumenEvent e) event, and i can't distinguish it.....it seems a real remove event....
    In this case(when i change cell) the code that is executes returns wrong result and invalidate all the rest.
    I think error is where i register celleditor , now i do it in CustomCellRenderer class that extend JEditorPane and implements TableCellRenderer.
    Please help me...this is a great trouble that invalidate all my work :(
    Any new idea is welcome.

    Hi stanislav, of course i can...you're a myth :)
    public class CustomCellEditor extends AbstractCellEditor implements TableCellEditor {
           CellEditor cellArea;
         JTable table;
         public CustomCellEditor(JTable ta) {
              super();
              table = ta;
              // this component relies on having this renderer for the String class
              MultiLineCellRenderer renderer = new MultiLineCellRenderer();
              table.setDefaultRenderer(String.class,renderer);
         public Object getCellEditorValue() {
              return cellArea.getText();
         public Component getTableCellEditorComponent(JTable table, Object value, boolean isSelected,     int row, int column) {
              int start = 0;
              int end = 0;
                                               // Get current selected table
              TableEditor tb = (TableEditor) TableEditor.getSelectedTable();
              TableModel model = (TableModel) tb.getModel();
              Vector fontInfo = model.getFontFor(row,column);
              CellEditor cellArea = (CellEditor) ((CustomCellEditor)tb.getCellEditor (row,column)).getCellEditor();
              Document doc = cellArea.getDocument();
              String content = tb.getValueAt(row,column).toString();     
              if (doc!=null && fontInfo.size()>0 && !content.equals("")) {
                                                     // This method reads from model and get right style info
                                                     // for current text, and restore them
                                                     restoreFontWithAttributes(doc,fontInfo,content);
              else
                   cellArea.setText(tb.getValueAt(row,column).toString());
              cellArea.rowEditing = row;
              cellArea.columnEditing = column;

                    k = new CellStyledEditorKit();
                    setEditorKit(k);
                    // I tried to add document here, but i have had wrong behavior
                   doc = new DocumentListener() {
                   public void removeUpdate(DocumentEvent e) {
                      // Get current selected table
                      TableEditor tb = (TableEditor) TableEditor.getSelectedTable();
                      TableModel model = (TableModel) tb.getModel();
                      model.updateFontInfo();
                   getDocument().addDocumentListener(doc);
    }Ok, stan...this is my CustomCellRenderer class....as i have already said, i have some style text info mainteined by CustomTableModel associated with JTable.
    I update CustomTableModel every time that an insert and remove operation happens.
    If i add a DocumentListener to CellEditor (that rapresents editor cell of my table) happens that, if i remove some character from an editing cell, i got a removeUpdate event.....and this is right!!! But if i change cell (e.g. supposing editing cell(1,1), click on cell(2,1) then stop edit cell(1,1) and start edit cell(2,1)) i got a removeUpdate event, that I don't wait for to me..
    Look at this:
    empty cell | some text
    cell 0 ------- cell1
    supposing you're in cell1 and you have finished to insert "some text".Then click on cell0, that is empty....then document associated with CellArea(extend JEditorPane) before of the click on cell0 had some text, but after click have no text, then for it a removeUpdate is happens.....and is that one i got..
    it's as if an unique document is associated to all cells, while should be one document for each cell (i hope this is right).
    Clearly, i've same code for renderer, in such way that i can restore style of text on rendering.
    Hope is clear....if U have any idea or suggestion please give to me.
    Tnx a lot Stanislav..

    Welcome to the forum!!
    Please consider the following when you post a question. This would help us help you better
    1. New features keep coming in every oracle version so please provide Your Oracle DB Version to get the best possible answer.
    You can use the following query and do a copy past of the output.
    select * from v$version 2. This forum has a very good Search Feature. Please use that before posting your question. Because for most of the questions
    that are asked the answer is already there.
    3. We dont know your DB structure or How your Data is. So you need to let us know. The best way would be to give some sample data like this.
    I have the following table called sales
    with sales
    as
          select 1 sales_id, 1 prod_id, 1001 inv_num, 120 qty from dual
          union all
          select 2 sales_id, 1 prod_id, 1002 inv_num, 25 qty from dual
    select *
      from sales 4. Rather than telling what you want in words its more easier when you give your expected output.
    For example in the above sales table, I want to know the total quantity and number of invoice for each product.
    The output should look like this
    Prod_id   sum_qty   count_inv
    1         145       2 5. When ever you get an error message post the entire error message. With the Error Number, The message and the Line number.
    6. Next thing is a very important thing to remember. Please post only well formatted code. Unformatted code is very hard to read.
    Your code format gets lost when you post it in the Oracle Forum. So in order to preserve it you need to
    use the {noformat}{noformat} tags.
    The usage of the tag is like this.
    <place your code here>\
    7. If you are posting a *Performance Related Question*. Please read
       {thread:id=501834} and {thread:id=863295}.
       Following those guide will be very helpful.
    8. Please keep in mind that this is a public forum. Here No question is URGENT.
       So use of words like *URGENT* or *ASAP* (As Soon As Possible) are considered to be rude.

    Message was edited by: Gokce

    Gokce,
    Have you tried inserting a text box? If not, click on View > Show Layout to enter the layout view. Click in the gray margin area to make your cursor disapppear. Then click on Insert > Text. The box will be defined as Fixed on Page (because you clicked in the margin area), allowing you to move it anywhere on the page. You can resize it to look just like a column, then put text in it.
    Hope this helps.

  • Import(insert) formatted text(HTML) into document

    Hi guys, I have faceed with folowing problem:
    how to insert into text frame formatted text ?
    At Indesign desktop version this feature was able through pasting HTML from clippboard with appropriate settings of clippboard preferences. But at server version there is no such function.
    I have also invesigated XML import:  you can set up text and paragraph styles and map them with tags but this technique doesnt support nested styles for instance if you have <b><i>xxx</i></b> and appropriate styles "b" and "i" i will be applied to "xxx".
    So I need to insert html as it did clipboard pasting.
    Any thoughts ?

    Questions:
    1. What version of SQL Server are you using?
    2. Are you required to use a specific DTS package or do you simply need to import data from a file to a table?  You might also consider using the bcp utility or, if you are using 2005 or newer, integration services.
    3. Is the uploading of files and the import of data a manual process or is it automated?  Is there a user uploading one file at a time to your server or do you receive files in batches.  Can you describe the work flow?
    You might try the following if you are required to use DTS:
    1. Upload your text file with CFFILE, putting in the directory expected by your DTS package.
    2. Rename the file to the name required by your DTS package
    3. Use CFEXECUTE to run the DTS package by calling dtsrun at the command line.

  • Insert in text file

    Hello, 
    I have an application that generates a measurement files (text) of several hundred Mo. 
    How can I insert text in the file without having to read all the contents (I know the position where to insert a text in this file). 
    Thank you in advance.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Excuse me for this francisism. I meant Mb (Megabyte) and not Mo (which is Megaoctet in french).
    Your definition of insert feat with what I want to do. So if I understand correctly, It's impossible to insert (and not overwrite) data in a file text without having to read the data located before and after my insert position ?
    You see the problem that I have, in my case, it is not possible to have read 800MB of data to insert 15 characters of text. 
    Other ideas, or it is really impossible ???
    Thanks.

    Hi there
    What is your project type? Responsive? If so, that's why animation is disabled. Animations are usually built in Flash and Responsive output doesn't "do" Flash.
