Rendering subtitles as text clips filling still cache?

Hi,
I have subtitles in project. Subtitles are made as text clips then placed above video track in timeline. At some point, they require rending everytime I add one, then render line is purple rather than green. Also, on playback in the timeline, there is stutter when it gets to the clips which are purple. If I remove the subtitle track, the stutter goes away. I got a message that still cache needs to be increased. I did this by reducing the %, which does move the point at which the render line is purple out further on the timeline. This is behaving like something is full, but I don't know what the still cache is, and don't know what the % refers to. The only thing I can think of is that I have a bunch of projects saved, and that there is a cache where text files are stored as stills, and its full. I will trash my unneeded projects to see if that helps. Please advise. Thanks!

I hope your media isn't on the laptop's internal hard drive. If it is, time to get an external firewire drive *right now*.
Regarding the rendering, this is just the way it's going to go given your computer and using external files.
Try setting the RT to unlimited and the quality to low. The images won't be beautiful but it should tell you how things flow. If you want to not render text material, try the internal text generators.

  • How to change color on multiple text clips

    I just finished creating a video with a lot of moving text. It's about 40 mins long. The client wants the text color to be different in the video. My problem is I have multiple text clips (hundreds) that I need to change.
    Is there a simple short cut to do this. I love how in fcp you can use the past attributes feature to paste drop shadows and other motion elements on multiple clips. I haven't seen this option for color though.
    Thanks,

    Thanks Mjax4,
    That's definitely one way to do it. The only negative is having to render all of that.
    You cannot simply copy/paste the color...
    Here's another way to do it. Note: this isn't really elegant AND it's still going to require rendering - so it might not work for you. But, I guess with any 'workaround' you've got to weigh the pros & cons, though, eh?
    Anyway, you could
    1.) Put a Color Solid on the video track above one of your titles.
    2.) Set the solid's color to the exact color you want the titles to take on.
    3.) Set the solid's composite mode to "Travel Matte-alpha". (This will use the alpha info. from the text clip to cut a hole into your now-colored solid.)
    4.) Copy this clip to all the other titles, above them.
    Again, this is just another workaround...so your alternatives are:
    • Bear down and re-do all the graphics properly...time-consuming!
    • Use one of the "other" techniques and wait on a render.
    They both cost you time. But at least with rendering - you can do whatever else you want while it's happening. It's wait-time. Not WORK time. Up to you!
    Hope this helps.

  • Framerate change to nested sequence of text clips?

    Having successfully rendered a 25 frame project as a finished film with burned-in subtitles and other text. Now I wished to create a 29.97 NTSC version. I have attempted this by sending the complete rendered 25 frame film to Compressor and re-rendering as 29.97 ProRes 422HQ using Compressor and then re-rendering, again with Compressor, as mpeg2. I found that some of the previously successfully rendered text now appears (in the ProRes file) to be somewhat blurred and to be unstable and 'jittery' when over a light, moving background.
    It occurred to me that the best solution might be to separate the background material, render this to 29.97 ProRes 422HQ without the titles and then to apply the sequence of title clips at the new framerate. Thus there is no framerate change to rendered text.
    Having nested these text clips in my 25 fps project, if I paste these into my 29.97 project they come up out of sync (unsurprisingly). I have tried changing the speed of this nested sequence of text clips by 25/29.97 which (almost) worked in terms of fixing the timing but the image quality of the text seemed impaired.
    Can anyone please suggest an alternative way of imposing a framerate change on an unrendered nested sequence of text clips? My aim here is clearly to avoid the need to adjust each clip's duration manually especially as some have 'motion' scrolling within them.
    Thanks

    It is entirely possible that you could find the font information and replace it.
    Just keep in mind that the project files in CC are actually zipped.
    Create a project with one clip and one title and then tear the project file apart to find the info you want to search on.
    Then try it on a copy of your big project. It is tedious, but you might pull it off.

  • "RT still cache is full" need to render real-time titles

    So I have this problem where at a certain point in my sequence title effects that normally don't need to be rendered suddenly do for the rest of the sequence's duration. when I hold my cursor over the red bars above the timeline is says "RT still cache is full. you can allocate more memory in the system preferences...." but when I do ( change the allocation from 10% to more than that) it either does nothing or makes the problem worse. does anyone know how to get final cut to honor it's realtime abilities with longer sequences? (I'm working with hour+ sequences that are entirely subtitled...)
    Is this a result of a 3 gig RAM limit per app? I have 6.5 gigs of RAM. thanks!

    FCE>System Settings>second panel Memory and Cache. Increase the still memory allocation.
    Also switched to Unlimited RT and live with the dropped frames.
    What format are you working in? How large are the images, the frame resolution?

  • I need to add text over a still photo in iMovie.  Following directions that always worked before but not this time.

    I am running OS 10.6.8, an upgrade that I did after Christmas.  A couple of times a year, I need to make a video of my students' performances, and have always been able to add text over the still photos before, using the directions in iMovie "help."  However, this time, I am not able to choose a title style; no amount of clicking makes anything show up on the selected still photo.  And no amount of trying to choose the font style makes anything show up either.
    This is iMovie 09; is it possible that it is not compatible with my OS upgrade?
    I've been able to insert still photos into the video footage, but can't add any titles or acknowledgements.  Thank you so much for your help!  Since I only do this a couple of times a year, it always takes me forever to accomplish, which is why I printed off the Help directions to follow.

    just to make thing clear (sorry for sounding impudent!)
    you do .... :
    create a New Project
    make a selection of an Event and add it to the Project
    select a title and drag it onto the clip?
    iM does work with your OS ...

  • InputText renders as just text when readOnly set to true

    Apparently when a <af:inputText> component's readOnly attribute is set to true, the component renders as plain text rather than a text box whose readOnly attribute is set to true. Oracle's ADF tag definition site makes no mention of this 'feature' (http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/htdocs/partners/addins/exchange/jsf/doc/tagdoc/core/inputText.html) but I remember reading it somewhere, I believe in some of the documents that came with an ADF faces download.
    And if I had not happened to come across this information somewhere, I would otherwise think this was a bug. But either way, I don't think this is the way it should perform. If I specify a field on a page to be inputText, I expect it to be a text box, regardless of whether I want it readOnly or not. I think its a bad assumption on ADF's part to completely change the rendering of the component.
    I want to render text inside a textbox on a page, but make it read only. And I am using it within the confines of a <af:forEach> so I am using the var parameter, and thus am forced to use Oracle's components so the forEach var parameter is recognized. So it appears to me I cannot render the field how I want. I dont see any other Oracle components to render this.
    Is this going to be changed or is there a way to submit something to Oracle to have this addressed?

    FYI...if I use the disabled attribute instead, thankfully the component still renders as a textbox. Obviously it renders grayed out, but at least I still get a textbox with text in it.
    But the readOnly attribute still, I feel, performs badly. So my question still stands, are there plans to change it or can it be addressed? Maybe when Apache takes full control of the library, it will be changed...

  • How to create a black and white text clip?

    I'm using pro Cs4 and was wondering how do I create a black and white text clip?  When I used Vegas there was a clip I could put in, and simply write whatever I needed.
    Still getting used to Pro Cs4 and was wondering if anybody can help me.
    Thanks!

    Do you wish to have a black field w/ white text, over part of an existing Video Clip, or do you want just a black field w/ white text and not have any Video showing through?
    For the latter, just do a Title in Titler, w/ white text, and place that on the Timeline.
    For the former, let us know the exact details, as that is slightly different.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
    [Edit] as a little background, when in Titler, you will see a "black" background, but that is really Transparent. However, if placed on the Timeline, with nothing below it, it will show black.

  • Locking down a text box, but still editable???

    is there a way to lock in or anchor a text box and still be able to type/edit text? maybe i'm missing something simple... thanks in advance!

    The point is to establish a layout, and then fill it.
    I had a regular monthly project of a 4 pp A3 set of newspapers in 12 languages. Each issue I would design the layout and create all necessary links in QuarkXpress. The sections would have non-printing labels and be largely prestyled.
    Then when it was approved, I'd "pour" the contents into it like plaster into a mould. Once I got going I could do each version in 8 minutes with a bit of individual typographic tweaking and styling.
    What made this possible is what is missing in Pages. Pages is amazingly obstructive and unco-operative for "easy to use" software. Potentially it could be different, if it wasn't for the design decisions of the programmers and the muddled way a lot of it is implemented.

  • 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.
    Jim

  • 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!

  • My iphone 4 has no data storage. I have deleted all apps, music and texts and it still says I only have 1.9 GB available. There is nothing in my storage.

    My iphone 4 has no data storage. I have deleted all apps, music and texts and it still says I only have 1.9 GB available. There is nothing in my storage.

    The problem could be that you don't have enough storage on the device itself, not on iCloud.  Go to Settings>General>Usage to see how much "Storage" you have available on the device.  Farther down the list is the available storage on iCloud.
    Also check:
    Go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backups>Manage Storage; there, tap the device you need info on and the resulting screen lists Backup Options with which apps store data on iCloud as well.  Tap Show All Apps to get the complete list of apps and MB used for backup storage.
    A device needs many MB of storage in order to perform a backup to iCloud.

  • How can I add dots after text to fill the remaining space in a table cell?

    What is the most efficient way to add dots after text to fill the remaining space in a table cell? I know it is possible using tabs but is this possible using a table?

    You can put a tab inside a table cell using Option+Tab
    Then just set the right-aligned tab stop and the right edge of the table cell and add the leader.

  • I am trying to use my IPAD to video students in my conducting class, then email them the video for self evaluation.  However, many of the video clips are too long to email.  Is there anyway to compress the video clips and still email them so they can view

    I am trying to use my IPAD to video students in my conducting class, then email them the video for self evaluation.  However, many of the clips are too long to send.  Is there a way I can compress the clips and still send them via email so they can open and them using Quicken?
    Muzakmn

    It depends on the clips' content, their current format, and how much you would need to compress them, but in most cases and with most email systems, it's difficult to impossible to compress a clip enough to be able to get it through the attachment size limits of most email providers and still have the video be comprehensible. You'll probably need to find a web site or other method where you could post the videos for download by the students.
    You can try compression and trimming, though, and see if you can get the video small enough to email. An attachment often has to be 3MB or less to go through, though it depends entirely on the email systems on both ends. If you look to the right under "more like this" you'll find similar threads on the subject.
