Need to add and manipuate text in slideshow.

I have created a slideshow in iDVD, but I need to add text to some slides. I know you can check an option to show the titles of the photos, but this isn't quite what I need. I only want text on some slides and I would like to be able to manipulate where the text is, how it moves, font/color, etc for each individual slide. Also, it's kind of an annoyance to have to name the photo what I want the text to say.. I'd rather just add a text box.
After a lot of experimenting and researching, I'm pretty sure this cannot be done using iDVD or iPhoto. I also have Final Cut Pro and DVD Studio Pro, but am relatively new to these programs and haven't tried using either of them for this yet.
So, does anyone know what program I can use to add text as described above?
Thanks

Welcome to the forums!
In such cases I go a different route.
I use Photo to Movie:
http://www.lqgraphics.com/software/phototomovie.php
which not only does what you are asking, but heaps more besides.
Once complete it will transfer the project to iMovie for completion (chapters etc) thence to iDVD or Toast for burning.

    How do I add and/or remove text in a text field with a checkbox?
    this is my script in the text box......
    event.value="Hello, this is my narrative. \r\n\nFamily: \r\n\n" + this get.Field("FirstName").value + " " + this.getField("LastName").value + was born on"=this.getField("DOB.value + "\r\n\n + this.getField("drpField").value + "\r\n\n" + this getField("Father").value
    The text box looks like this...
    Hello, this is my narrative.

    I need to add/or remove the father field (Jack Smith) & r/n/n with a check box.
    Does anyone know how to do this?

    There are multiple errors in your code...
    Use this code instead (adjust the name of the check-box):
    var msg = "Hello, this is my narrative. \r\n\nFamily: \r\n\n" + this get.Field("FirstName").value + " " + this.getField("LastName").value + was born on" + this.getField("DOB.value) + "\r\n\n" + this.getField("drpField").value;

    Thank you for you help, it's really appreciated.

    Shown are explicit steps, for clarity. Because you said you have alot of these to do, familiarize yourself with the associated keyboard shortcuts to make it quicker. (For example, Ctrl-clicking the top row of Pathfinder icons--which are not really Pathfinders, but Shape Modes (sigh)--applies them and expands them in one step.
    You can further streamline the process with a little forethought. (For example, set up a Graphic Style for the red stroke/none fill.)
    With a little cleverness, you can probably devise a Graphic Style and an Action or two to semi-automate the process further.
    Think about the individual steps and see if you can batch-process them; for example, create all the text objects and rectangles first, then do the operations on the various groups. (That's where recording an Action could make this very quick.)
    Note that the steps shown assume the laser engraver follows paths (as does a plotter), not mere display. If that is not the case, then overlapping objects may not be a problem, and some of the steps may not be necessary. In fact, if mere visual appearance is what drives the thing, then a Graphic Style including a couple of live Effects could yield the appearance, and the text could remain editable. The rectangle
    could be added as an Effect (Convert To Shape), but its position probably needs to shift depending upon the text characters.
    You are to be applauded, by the way, for taking the time to clearly and fully describe your problem. Better to go overboard than the far more usual "How-do-I-make-the-thing-I'm thinking-about-but-am-too-lazy-to-explain" kind of questions. ;-)

  • Need to add superscript for text field--HELP NEEDED.

    Hi Friends,
    Is there any way to implement superscript and subscript text in Crystal?  For example, I would like to superscript the portion (1) of the following string:
    "Buy(1) or Sell(1)"
    The only way I have found to do this is to put the "235" in a separate text field that uses a smaller font size, and overlay it into the gap that I intentionally left in the larger text field.  For display and printing purposes, this works OK, but if a report containing these strings is exported to Excel, the text fields are exported as separate cells, which makes the exported report look funny.
    I can create this string in Word, then cut and paste it into a text field in Crystal (which initially seems to work), but as soon as I click off the field, all the characters in it are converted to the same font size.
    If this can't be done in the current version of Crystal, are there any plans for it to be implemented in future versions?

    hello all,
    the text interpretation for html or rtf in fields will not render superscript or subscript. the basic rule is that whatever you can format directly in a crystal reports text object, that's what you can have interpreted.
    look up "text interpretation html" in kbase for a full list.
    one option is to turn html passthrough on the server in question if this is a huge deal for you...if you want instructions on how to turn html passthrough on, they are located in the webelements user guide at
    http://diamond.businessobjects.com/node/255
    after doing so, you'd drop the database field into a formula and any html in the database field would be interpreted.

  • Need to add bit of text to each page-is there something I can do to 'automate' the process?

    Hi there,
    Somehow in the process of piecing together a book, I did use Master Page elements for most of my pages, but not for many other pages.
    So now I have to add a small bit of text (the name of the book) and a page number (I didn't add page numbers because I didn't know what pages would go where; now I've got all of that organized) at the bottom of each of these pages.  Y will be the same for these new additions for both even and odd pages, but the X factor will be quite different of course.
    Is there something I can do to speed up the process?
    I'm wondering if, after the fact, I can create two new Master Pages that have just these two elements (the name of the book and a placement for a page number), and then apply this to my pages.
    I hesitate to try this in case it adds these two new elements, but gets rid of everything else.  If that's a possibility I'd rather just enter each of these elements one at a time, adding numbers for X and Y, carpal tunnel be damned!
    Thanks,
    Malcolm

    You can apply a master page without affecting anything that is already there.
    If you are worried about losing data, you can try this on a copy of the file, just to be safe.

  • I designed a document in indesign but i need to add a formatted text box to it

    I've created an indesign document with an interactive text box, but when I open it in Acrobat, the formatting is stripped from the indesign document in the field where I need it. How do I keep the formatting used on the indesign document so that when someone fills in the content on the PDF in Acrobat, the formatting sticks?

    WHat specifically do you mean by formatting? Just the font name?

  • Help needed with footers and shrinking text

    Hi Guys
    I got a report that I want to print conditional headers and footers for. When I specify that I only want a foooter to appear on the last page, I get REP-1216 error, I checked out Metalink and followed a note on how to get around it but I'm having no joy. Can anyone help me out? I also want to make certain bits of the header and footer visible depending on a value retrieved from the report query only I get REP-1314 saying that my format trigger referencesa column at the wrong frequency. I know the value is in another frame but how do I make this value available in the margin so that the formatting will work?
    Also, I want to be able to shrink some lines of an address if it has a null value at runtime e.g
    My House
    First Address Line
    Second Address Line
    <Null>
    Post Code
    I want to format it so that it appears as:
    My House
    First Address Line
    Second Address Line
    Post Code
    I really appreciate if someone could help me out as always this is very urgent!
    Many thanks
    Ciaran

    Hi Ciaran,
    I only want a foooter to appear on the last page
    I am quoting from Note 1017067.102 on Metalink (REP-1216 when running report with field in margin) - you might have already seen this note...
    Objects in the margin region are restarted on every physical page. As a
    result, not all print condition types make sense for margin objects. Because
    objects are restarted on every page, it is as if you are always on the first
    page of the object.
    The print condition FIRST is the same as the print condition ALL.
    The print conditions LAST and ALL BUT LAST are invalid because "LAST" is never
    reached.
    The print condition ALL BUT FIRST causes the object to never appear because
    the object never goes beyond "FIRST" page.
    Thus, the only valid print conditions for the object are FIRST and ALL.
    also want to make certain bits of the header and footer visible depending on a value retrieved from the report queryYou can use conditional formatting / format trigger only for objects that are in the same group in the data model. For example, you can reference employee_id in the format trigger of employee_name if they are in the same group. In your header / footer Format Trigger, you can reference only report-level columns. So if you can make your column to appear at the report level (outside of any group), you may be able to reference it from the header / footer.
    want to be able to shrink some lines of an address if it has a null value at runtime You may be able to use Anchors. See Builder Help for more information and examples.

  • Need to add text with box dynamically

    Hello,
    I need to add a standard text created in so10 with a box at the end of the purchase order.
    This should trigger dynamically if the condition is correct.
    For ex : PO created in plant = 100 then this text should be displayed at the end of the PO page with a box.
    DO I have to create a Window and then include this text created in so10 and then give the conditions?
    PLease suggest...
    Have a great evening!
    Regards,
    Kittu

    Hi,
    Simplest would be define a new element in the main window like:
    E  OTHER_TERMS
    /:   NEW-PAGE                                                      
    /:   INCLUDE ZPO_TERMS_AND_CONDITIONS OBJECT TEXT ID ST LANGUAGE EN
    In the pgm check your condition if satisfied then use
            CALL FUNCTION 'WRITE_FORM'
                 EXPORTING
                      element  = 'OTHER_TERMS'
                      function = 'APPEND'
                      window   = 'MAIN'
                 EXCEPTIONS
                      element  = 1
                      function = 2
                      type     = 3
                      window   = 6
                      OTHERS   = 8.
    I hope this helps,

  • How do you cut and paste text from Adobe Reader 11 into Word?

    Using Windows 8.1.  Recently purchased Adobe Reader 11.  Need to cut and paste text from PDF into Word docs.  Docs are not locked and content should be available for editing.  Have figured out how to highlight the text through the Comment tools, but nothing (right-clicking, going to Edit pulldown) menu gives me a Copy option.  How do I cut and paste the text?

    Good to know that I got what I paid for with the Export PDF.I just went
    into the document that I am trying to cut and paste from and highlighted a
    piece of text.  Clicked right, checked the Edit pulldown, and then did
    Ctrl+C (assuming you meant Ctrl and then C, rather than holding them both
    down together).  Still no Copy option anywhere.
    Properties for the document I am trying to work with do say "Content
    Copying: Allowed" under Security. Since I can highlight text, I assumed
    that the text is there (not a photo scan) so that I can copy it.  Should I
    look somewhere else under properties to confirm this?
    As I did last night, I also opened up a document that I have cut and pasted
    extensively from before-so I know the text is there and manipulable.
    Attempted to cut and paste from it, using the same methods above.  Again,
    no option to copy with any of them.
    Perhaps I should clarify that by cut-and-paste, I do mean that I want to
    copy the text from the original and then transfer it to a Word doc that I
    am writing.  I am not trying to do anything with the original other than
    copy from it--not cutting anything out of the document itself.
    Is there a way to do this with the Adobe 11 reader.  At this point, I am
    wondering if I need to uninstall Adobe 11 and try to go back to Adobe 10 or
    whatever the reader was that was installed on my computer when I bought it
    (Dell Inspiron touch-screen laptop purchased in May 2013, if that gives any
    idea of which reader might have been installed there.  That version did,
    however, have some other limitations that made me want to get Adobe 11. Any
    ideas about what to do now.

    Usually in the form of video outtakes, movie trailers, cast and crew interviews. Basically, the stuff that gets bunged onto commercial DVDs as extras or ends up on late night TV "Making Of..." shows.
    To answer the OP, you want a button on the menu that leads to a still image, or series of them, set up as a slide show. You can copy/paste the text in DVD Studio and then add formatting via the Text menu. (Highlight the text and right click to access formatting controls). Or do it in a graphics application using the appropriate video image preset.
