"Red-only" livetype font colour issue in Motion 3.01

Newbie with Motion...from a new default project HDV1080i50 with black bkgrnd - using livetype font 'script' I cannot seem to get any other font colour other than red - as I move across the 'spectrum' colour picker - the red fades in and out for different colours as if I can only see a 'red channel' and no 'blue and green channels'. What am I missing? Thanks for any advice

Livefonts are actually Quicktime movies so the color is "baked" into the font - you can use an HSV filter to change it, or a Desaturate and a Colorize filter.

  • Apple Mail font colour issue

    Wanted to know if anyone else was having this same font annomaly?
    When in Mail, if I ever need to change my text colour to black through the "Click to choose text color" toolbar option (for example if I have copied text that was in a different colour from a web site and want to change it to black, or if I have changed my text colour for emphasis and need to change back to black), the text does not go to black, it turns white. I can begin composing any email in black fine, but simply cannot ever change text back to black.
    This does not seem to affect any other colour, and if I select "Show colors" and change to black through the "Color wheel" it's fine (very poor internationalisation with the spelling of "color", by the way. Has everyone stopped reading the OS X Human Interface Guidelines since beginning development of Lion?!), it's almost as if the wrong colour value has been assigned to the black box. I know that greyscale is the new standard for Apple's toolbars and sidebars, etc, but removing black as a text option seems a little extreme!

    Hello,
    I have also, as everybody I think this issue.
    Unfortunatly, it seems no solution available by Apple and plugin I tested (universalmailler, messagefont) or other don't solve it.
    Well, I made my own service with automator (for mail.app, w/o entry) with such code below and assign it to hot key ^R (ctrl R):
    I know this code is quick and dirty, but it function for me (OSX maverick, french) and now answer and previous text from sender are formatted in Arial, 16pts, blue dark color.
    If somebody want to change it, improve it, no problem.
    If somebody want more info, please tell me.
    tell application "Mail"
              activate
    end tell
    delay 0.2

  • Linking Excel to Word - Word doc updates the numbers in a table but the format (font colours) do not update

    I am using Office 2010. I have many graphs and linked tables to a master word document from Excel. The tables contain percentages and are formatted red if under -2.5%, yellow if between -2.5% and +2.5% and green if over +2.5%. The colours are correct
    in Excel but when I refresh the word document, the numbers update but the font colours do not. The purpose of linking was to save time but if the colours do not update then the link is pointless. Is there any way to ensure the colours update as well as the
    values?

    Hi,
    In regarding of the issue, I have a couple of questions:
    Do you mind telling me how do you copy/link between Excel and Word?
    Where did you store the Word and Excel file? Both of local disk or network drive, even website?
    Did you using conditional formatting to display/format percentages?
    Based on my tested, please try the following steps, it would be update all the information after the source was changed.
    Select the table/chart in Excel> Open word >Copy>Paste>Choose Link & Keep Source Formatting.(See image 1)
    If we changed the source data in Excel, then right click the table in Word> Choose update Link. (See image 2)
    Then the data, format, font and color all will be updated.
    Hope this should help you.

  • Font color issue with animated text in Captivate 5

    When I prepare a new animated text and open the property and then click the square to choose a color , I only get a  little part of the color panel (when I click the color box) and I have  no possibilities to enter the color code either:
    I'm working with a Windows XP, 64 bits desktop and I have Captivate 5 version 5.0.1.624.
    Any ideas to solve this issue would be appreciated as it is becoming urgent for me.

    @Lieve: You're on the French version of Captivate 5 aren't you?
    Can you provide a screenshot of what the Animated Text font colour dialog looks like on your PC and upload it here?
    This is what that box looks like for me:
    It seems that on this user's PC the colour picker isn't able to float on top of the dialog as it should.
    I encouraged Valerie to post her issue on this forum in the hope that one of the Captivate developer technicians would chime in with a possible solution.  I think this one has got to be some kind of bug due to a language version of Cp.

  • IMovie OS X Mavericks Font Colour

    Since the OS X Mavericks update, I am really struggling and wondering how it is possible to change font colours of the titles in the new iMovie? I'd like to put some of the titles on a white background, but the font is in white so it doesnt work very well
    There seems to be a font editing panel - but all the options are 'greyed' out
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks!

    This issue looks like it only happens when the paper size is set to A4. If I select US Letter the preview is fine and doesn't split the content.

  • MY PRINTER ONLY PRINTS IN COLOUR, AND I WANT TO ONLY PRINT IN BLACK AND WHITE

    HI, AND GREETINGS,
    IVE BEEN TRYING TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM FOR SOME TIME BUT I CANNOT FIND A SOLUTION TO IT. IVE WANTED TO PRINT SOME DOCUMENTS BUT IN BLACK AND WHITE ONLY - INSTEAD OF COLOUR BUT I CANT SEEM TO FIND THE SETTING IN WHICH I CAN TURN OFF THE COLOUR, AND TO JUST USE BLACK INK
    MY PRINTER IS:
    HP COLOUR LASERJET PRO MFP M177FW
    AND I AM USING A MACBOOK PRO 2010 VERSION
    WOULD LOVE TO GET A RESPONSE FROM YOU GUYS TO HELP ME OUT,
    KINDEST REGARDS,
    W3 GUD

    Hi @W3GUD ,
    I see that you would like to set the printer to print with just the black toner. I would like to help you out with this issue today.
    Depending on which operating system you are using and what driver was installed for the printer, the Grayscale option should be under Paper/Quality.
    From the application, go to File, Print, click on the dropdown for the printer preferences and select Paper/Quality.
    Click on the Color Options dropdown and then select Grayscale.
    Check the driver name that is installed for the printer. Make sure it shows just the printer's name.
    Click the Apple menu and then click System Preferences. Click Printers & Scanners, highlight the printer name on the left side and on the right side of the screen it should show the printer's name. (Laserjet M177fw)
    If the full printer name isn't listed correctly, delete it and add the printer name back in from the list. Click the - sign to delete the driver and then click the + sign to add the driver, you might have to click the drop down to select the printer's name to add it in.
    What operating system are you using? Mac OS X: How Do I Find Which Mac OS X Version Is on My Computer?
    If you need further assistance, just let me know.
    Have a nice day!
    Thank You.

  • Font smoothing issues

    Hi all. I noticed some others were complaining about font smoothing not seeming to work in Carbon applications (e.g. Camino, Firefox, MS Word and even iTunes). It seems the subpixel font-aliasing system preference (e.g. light) is ignored and, instead, the ugly CRT font smoothing is used.
    I am puzzled this has not received a lot of attention, since it immediately bothered me when I received my Macbook Pro today.
    Is everyone experiencing this font smoothing problem? I used the Migration Assistant to copy all files from my previous (Tiger-installed) Powerbook. Does anyone not having used the Migration Assistant also suffer from the font smoothing issue?
    For more info, see http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1829478&#1829478
    Macbook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    TinkerTool didn't make any difference for me. I played around with it and found that there was no improvements using it or disabling font smoothing.
    I have watched DVD's on this LCD being played with my MacBook. I have seen 2MB+ full screen digital pictures. Both the DVD and digital pics look absolutely amazing on it.
    It's only the fonts that appear blurry or in some areas they appear to have a shadown to the right. This happens with any text that appears in every app.
    Keep in mind too, Windows Vista looks perfect on this display, but my prized MacBook looks really sub-par.
    I'm not quite following you on changing the display preferences to change to pixel size to that of the MacBook...

  • Font smoothing issues with Samsun 23 inch LCD

    I am having a font smoothing issue with my MacBook and my Samsung LN-S2352W 23 inch LCD (http://www.samsung.com/Products/TV/LCDTV/LNS2352WXXAA.asp). I am using the mini-DVI to VGA adapter and the plugging that into the VGA port of my LCD. It doesn't matter which app I run, but as long as it has fonts, they come out blurry, hazy, colors bleed, etc.
    I have played with the font smoothing settings and that has not helped at all. I have heard of TinkerTool and will try it to see if it makes any difference, but am not expecting much.
    I also have a PC running Windows Vista and I connected it to the VGA port of my LCD. Wow...the difference in picture quality was astounding. I'm ******. I want my MacBook to look that sweet on my LCD.
    Anyone have any thoughts? Can this be fixed?

  • Only one person coloured while all around is black and white

    I'm wondering if it is possible to maintain in a clip only one person coloured while other people and background go black and white... (it is a normal shot, not chroma key)

    yes you can, it is called rotoscoping, essentially you need to create a mask and animate it with key frames for the duration required. Motion or AE probably your beat bet. There are a few other options depending on your footage and how you shot it but given that you have other moving subjects inthe frame masking may be the easiest.

  • Font Rendering Issues-Help Required Please

    In the past week, any Google search on Firefox or Chrome (but not Opera) gives me results where the fonts look gappy. Sometimes there are additional dots above the letters. I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox from scratch in case an add-on was at fault but even with a clean install I am still seeing the issue. I checked my font settings and do not have any minimum font size set. I have allow pages to choose their own font ticked.
    I've uploaded an image where I can see some correctly rendered text and some gappy looking text (not from a Google search but a Mozilla query). It also happens when commenting online sometimes, during typing it will be gappy but it will show properly once submitted. Any ideas for a fix would be warmly welcomed and I can give more examples if that would help. Although it's not Firefox related, I did restore all defaults in Chrome and it didn't fix the issue there either.
    I uninstalled the most recent Windows Update since the problem is recent but it didn't change anything. I'm not sure if browsers would even look to my computers fonts.

    hi Auds77, this is probably caused by microsoft update kb3013455 which can cause font rendering issues on vista:
    <blockquote>After you install security update 3013455, you may notice some text quality degradation in certain scenarios. The problem only occurs on systems that are running Windows Vista SP2 or Windows Server 2003 SP2. Microsoft is researching this problem and will post more information in this article when the information becomes available. </blockquote>
    <sup>reference: https://support.microsoft.com/kb/3013455</sup>
    one option may be to [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/remove-update#1TC=windows-vista roll-back this particular update] for now until there is a fix by microsoft or you could also look if there is a [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL|graphics driver update]] available on the website of the vendor (intel/amd/nvidia) which might also resolve this problem in some cases.

  • Font rendering issue & multimedia keys not working

    Hi, yesterday i switched to KDEmod 4.1 and I have two major problems...
    One is font rendering issue... I did not change anything in my font-related packages (cairo, freetype, fontconfig, libxft) and i have to add that this setup worked perfectly in KDEmod 3.5.9, but now it looks like this:
    This bug occurs only in qt apps and mostly in kmenu... i.e firefox renders my fonts flawlessly...
    Second problem are multimedia keys on my keyboard...
    They worked in KDE 3.5.9, but now I cannot set them up properly... Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't...
    KDE recognizes the pressed key, but when I assign specific action and press the key, just nothing happens...

    You might be able to solve your font issue by going to System Settings -> Appearance -> Fonts.  I enable ant-aliasing.  I also clicked on configure and select "Use sub-pixel rendering" to RGB and the hinting style to Full.  I also use the Force fonts DPI to 96 DPI.  This makes the fonts pleasing to my eyes.
    This is how I got my multimedia keys to work in KDE4.1:
    Go to System Settings -> Regional and Language and make sure to set the County or region to your location.
    khotkeys needs to be running.  I added it to the autostarted progam list. System Settings -> Advanced tab -> Autostart
    When I got the multimedia keys working, I was really tring to get the keyboard shortcuts to work.  In addition to the above steps, I also deleted
    ~/.kde4/share/config/kglobalshortcutsrc.  I do not know if deleting this file is needed to get the multimedia keys working, but it was to get the keyboard shortcuts woring.
    Restart X
    Go to  System Settings -> Keyboard and Mouse -> Keyboard Shortcuts
    I set the volume control in the KMix component section.
    To get the keyboard shortcuts to work, go to the menu editor and select the program you want to create a shortcuts for.  Click on the advanced tab and create the shortcut in the shortcut field.  Save.
    Then go to  System Settings -> Keyboard and Mouse -> Keyboard Shortcuts. Change the component to KHotkeys.  Select the Program and then select the default shortcut that you just created.  (This works for the multimedia keys aswell).
    Hope this helps,

  • Font rendering issue / Mountain Lion / non Apple LCD display

    Hello
    This font rendering issue or problem is probably well know by Apple crew too but nobody has solved it yet. Only poor solution are available such as try to adjust manually font rendering by writin some scripts concerning anti alias levels...they really dont solve the problem.
    Could Apple bring us solution to this by developing or updating Mountain Lion?
    So what is the problem: font rendering is very poor in Mountain Lion when using non Apple LCD. For example Fujitsu SL27T-1 LED (LCD displa) shows fonts very nice way in Windows but in Mac OS ML does not. Somebody told me that its about software vs. hardware rendering. Dont know about that but could you bring me the solution which is not advising me to buy Apple display (which is five times more expensive than other manufactures displays).
    Br
    M. Leino

    just want to add that overall fonts look blurry and they are not very sharp.

  • Anyone else haveing issues where Motion 5 performs worse than Motion 4?

    I'm having an issue where even simple particle emitters playback slowly.  I can create the same simple effect in 4 and it plays back in real time.
    I even saved a test file in 4 (which ran real time), and when I open it in 5 it plays back slower.  What gives?

    I´m having a strange issues with Motion 5 performance:
    In my iMac 2010 (i3 @ 3,06 ghz, Radeon 4670 256 mb and 8 gb) Motion 5 is about 20-25% faster than Motion 4.
    For example, when rendering the PulseHD Open Motion 4 takes 2:30 mins and Motion 5 takes 2:00 mins.
    The strange results come from my Macbook Pro 2010 (i5 @ 2,4 ghz, Geforce GT 330m and 8 gb also):
    With the same template this computer takes 3:20 mins in Motion 4 and about 6:30 mins in Motion 5!!!! So near the double.
    Even more strange: if I make a ram preview in Motion 5 with this same template and settings that I used in the final render it only takes 2:51 mins and Motion 4 is slower, because it takes 3:25 mins!!!!!!
    I forgot to say that in all the cases the render quality was set to normal and motion blur was turned on with 8 samples.
    So, it´s clear that Motion 5 needs an update as does FCP X, because in my computers it crashes a lot.

  • Colour issues LR3

    I shoot ijn Camera RAW on a Canon 5D2 in LR3 and I'm having colour issues; skin tones are often purple/magenta tinted and very difficult to correct. I usually set the WB to Custom and shoot a grey card and set the picture style on the camera to Neutral (why does the WB affect RAW images anyway, I thought it only operated on the jpgs?)
    On import, pics often look ok then resolve into higher contrast, garish colour versions which are less pleasing - have I set a preference incorrectly or am I missing something else?
    All help gratefully received

    When you first import, you see the small embedded JPEG the camera generates. This matches what you see on the LCD but is based on having the camera do the conversions which you're not doing. LR therefore has to build it's own high quality previews but more importantly, that is based on it's current default settings using it's own engine. So just forget what you initially see, you'd not get that unless you set the camera for JPEG.
    The key is setting up a custom default you prefer. You could pick a general DNG profile, move any of the sliders around etc and the, if you option click in Develop, the Reset button toggles to allow you to create a new default. From there you can of course adjust to taste. You'll still have to white balance and so forth but you should try to get a decent 'starting point' from Import on. For WB, might want to set the camera for Auto WB. Note this setting has no effect on your raw data! It's only a suggestion you can accept or alter. With Auto WB, you'll probably find more images come in looking closer to what you want then say forcing Daylight (which would look butt ugly IF those images were shot under Tungsten). Auto IS NOT PERECT by a long shot but since the setting doesn't affect the data, might as well try for something that gets you in the ball park.
    Using any card to WB (and you should use a white, not gray card) again is often just another starting point. You seasson to taste using Tint/Temp. And of course, if you shot a scene at sunset and did this, you'd kill the color expected at that time of day. Bottom line is, when you capture raw, the WB can be anything you wish, anything you think looks good. That would not be the case with a JPEG. If you set it, you're then kind of stuck with that rendering.
    Lastly, creating one or two custom DNG camera profiles can work wonders. Check out the X-rite Passport product. You'll end up with a really great target for balancing as well.

  • FAQ: How do I clear out my font cache to fix font style and duplicate font style issues?

    We have a Script availabe for CS6 beta users who are experiencing particular font related issues.

    This will solve some of the type issues with duplicate font names and some of the other font errors.
    This script is to help to find corrupted fonts. The script itself doesn’t solve the problem.

    Monica, I know the Normal Character Style in Illustrator must be defined. But my question is about the Normal Paragraph Style, not the Normal Character Style. As Larry just said, in most of my documents, and in my New Document Profiles, these fields in the Normal Paragraph Style are blank (undefined), so I know this is possible. In a few older documents I'm converting, the Normal Paragraph Style has a defunct font, and even though my Normal Character Style is correctly defined with the current font, it's creating some weird behavior.
    Larry, it doesn't appear to be the document itself, it just appears to be not knowing what the right keystroke combo is to clear it. Just make a new file from a Document Profile where the Normal Paragraph Style does not define one of those font fields, define a font and/or font size, save, then reopen the paragraph style settings and try to clear any field that has been set. I can't clear it, I can only change the font.
