Repeat Title Color in Text Generator

In Text Generator, how do I repeat the same shade of color picked on the color wheel?

In the color picker you can drag the color into a tray at the bottom to store it. The magnifying gloass is a color picker to let you suck a color from anywhere on the screen.

Wandering colors when animating text generator

Just tried a simple Basic Animation of font color in a generated text block for a title, as on pp 188-90 in The Book. Instead of going from pale blue to deep blue between keyframes, my text flickered through most of the rainbow. Tried reversing the circular arrow adjacent to the color swatch but it seemed to happen either way.
To tell the whole truth, the problem started when I used three keyframes in this short text generator (superimposed on a black slug.) I wanted the color to come up to bright blue and then darken to black along with a dissolve into the first clip of my sequence. Was this too much to ask FCE 3.5 to do?
Any ideas or insight appreciated.

Thanks, Tom. You've got my number - I probably got a little carefree with the buttonpushing, and of course the devil is in the details.
What I eventually did was revert all the way back to a clean sequence and settle for a simpler 2-keyframe effect, which did work fine. But now that I know it's possible I will try for the cooler up/down 3-keyframe effect again.

What's wrong with Boris 3D Text Generator.....

I've tried to use this tool but the clunky interface and 10 second delay while you open this up in it's own window drives me crazy. But I am trying again to use Boris 3D for subtitles.
However, I just compared the text to FCP's text generator and Boris seems much softer and not nearly as crisp as FCP Text. The concern is that I have to render the FCP text - maybe this accounts for the difference? Boris does not give me a red line. So it's a dilemma - which to use? It's a pain to have to render subtitles - but Boris has that awful delay to deal with and just does not seem as crisp - any one any thoughts on this?

Not sure why you're getting no Real Time playback on the FCP text filter (red render bar) Regardless, even though the Boris titles will play back RT they ultimately need to be rendered as well (green render bar) and will likely look crisper once you do. Boris Title 3D should give you the best results. You could also try Live Type.

Transfer footage iMovie 08 to iMovie 06 HD & change outline color for text

I have a completed video that is basically all stills. I would like to transfer the stills in their current sequence and if possible with their current crop styles ie Ken Burns without having to start ALL over. Is this possible? Just downloaded 06 HD because I wanted more editing options that iMovie 08 seems to be lacking.
Also, how do you change the outline color for text in titles? At one point it switched from black to white but I have no idea how it happened... now its back to black.
Lastly, are we only allowed to place music exactly at the head of a clip or is there a setting I am unable to find that unlocks that "snap to" function?
Thank you.

Thanks....I was thinking that was probably it. Will be a little time consuming, but I'll feel better in the end knowing a vacation and bunch of summer stuff is back on tape for archiving.

Is there a way to create a random text generator in AE 4 ?

Hi all,
I'm a new user of an old version of After Effects 4.1 on Windows 7.
I just gained the help on this forum to create a digital clock countdown with the Numbers Effect and the Timecode 30 setting in AE 4 and I noticed that there is a random numbers generator in that effect too.
But now I'm in the Text Effect and I'm able to put my text/title on the solid layer in a composition and apply some MM scripts to the text... mainly I've just been able to use the 'Blink' script and manipulate that script a little to make it flash faster or slower.
Since AE 4 cannot use .jsx scripts or Expressions, I guess I'm limited to MM scripts (which I've been searching for) and the built-in plug-ins and effects... but I can't find a random text generator... like where the text scrambles as if it is trying to break a code. This effect that I'm trying for would be similar to a scrambled text effect generated in Swish or other FLASH text effect generators.
So if anyone knows how to create a scrambled or random text effect in the old After Effects 4.1, please let me know.
Thanks allot,
digi

Thanks guys,
Yes, I'm using AE 4.1, per my explanation in my other posts about the timecode effect and codecs.
Since there is a built-in random number generator in AE 4.1 that is part of the Numbers Effect, I thought there may still be an after market Effect, plug-in or mm script for a random text generator.
I've been searching the web, but its a big place.
Thanks,
digi

How to change blog title color with modern template?

hello everyone,
I want to change the blog title color from the default red to another color but can't find a setting to let me do so. Can anyone help me out and let me know how I can change this? Here is a link to my site to show you what I'm talking about...
http://web.mac.com/stephenjames716/iWeb/home/blog/blog.html
thanks,
Steve

Hey Stephen...
For the main blog index page, you can edit the CSS the same way you have done in the past...
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=1596652#1596652
You can also edit the template XML directly, but I'll leave that to Suzanne or someone more experienced to explain.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3139039&#3139039
If you are referring to the blog entry titles and don't care that the main blog index titles will remain red, you can always change the color of the title text in your blog entry. Then when you want to start a new entry, just duplicate the last entry and all the settings will remain the same.

Change background color during text edit mode

THis is a wacky problem...
I have a presentation template. The slide master has white copy in the title and black copy in the body/bulleted list.
When I try to use the template and edit the title copy, the background color for editing that line is white, just like the text, so I can't see what I'm typing. I can't figure out how to change the background color during text edit mode so that I can actually see what I'm typing. Is there a way to make this transparent?
For some reason, the body copy edit works fine: black text edited in either a white or transparent background color.
help!

How to cut and paste long Word document into text generator?

I have a very long list of attributions in a Word document.
When I cut and paste it into the "Sample Text" area, it goes in fine.
But when I try to look at it ... either as simple text or, preferred, scrolling ... I only get parts of the document.
I can correct it by adding a 'return' in the middle of every few words.
But my document is so long, it would take a long time to do that one by one.
Solutions sought: How to just import the whole document and have it scroll, zip-zip?!

Thank you DH and skalaki, I had not known of the Boris title generator. Funny, I had looked in the FCE online manual until 'titling' and editing text ... didn't see mention of that.
In any case ... I've now found it and trust I'll be able to figure it out.
Since skalaki was first with the answer, I awarded the 'solved' there. DH's comments were further helpful.

How can I edit the title or body text of received email?

I read somewhere in this forum a long time ago that, in Mail, you cannot edit anything within received email for security reasons.
With Eudora, I have always done things such as reformatting the body text of received email by applying colors or making text bold, etc., in order to make the email useful to me.
Is there a way around in Mail to edit either the title or body text of received email?

About a month ago, I spend zillion hours to migrate from Eudora to Mail.
Eudora has been wonderful to me since Day 1 back in the early 90's. But, it has been discontinued as a commercial product. I had used the Japanese version of Eudora for several years, but it did not like communicating with Exchange at work.
I tried and tried various email clients before settling on Mail.
When I pictured interactions among my Mac, iPhone, and whatever email client I choose, Mail was just the simplest way. But, Mail is not Eudora. And, I dearly miss Eudora.
If there is no way to alter the contents of received email in Mail, I would have to adopt your approach on a case-by-case basis.
Thanks for your help, though.

Help on Lock Up in Scrolling Text Generator

I'm finally getting to use my copy of FCE HD (V 3.0) eventhough I've had it since last summer and I'm having a problem.
When I start the scrolling text generator, I can use all of the controls EXCEPT for the color button. As soon as I click the SQUARE to pull up the pallet and the pallet comes up, the machine locks up except for the mouse. Abosolutely nothing works to close the pallet or close anything else for that matter. I have to push the Power button on the machine to turn it off.
I've used the color pallet in many other controls with no problem.
Is this a bug?
I have searched but haven't found anything like it reported by anyone else.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ken

AHA!
Tom thanks for the "deeper" tip, it's what had my brain going when I went to the "plist" file in preferences and discovered it's last modified date was 1970.
Ian thanks for the instructions on how to get to the pref's.
The epiphany occurred as I saw that date and realized that I had been ignoring the little window that had popped up on the last months startups that said the time was messed up.
I realized that my little battery had gone dead but kept using the machine anyhow since nothing seemed to be malfunctioning.
Well sports fans, the time being off was the source of the problem. After I reset it to current time and date, I was able to use the color picker right away without incident.
Interestingly enough, the color pickers in Live Type were working just fine AND the Color Correction in FCE were working just fine.
Eventhough I have a B.S.C.S., I would have never in a million years guessed that the clock had any impact on text scrolling.
All I can say is "Bob's your uncle" Ian & Tom.
Many thanks!!
Ken

I am unable to change the color of text in an email I replay to or compose. I am on 31.6.0 release of Thunderbird.

When I receive, reply or compose email. I no longer am able to see or change the color of text. I select to change the text from black to Red (or any other color) and the text just stays black, The color seletor box will show the last select color, but never actually changes the text color in an email. Also in received email, when the sender has indicated their replies to me are in another color, All the text only appears as black. I never had this problem in the past, not sure what has happened. I did restart Thunderbird with add-ons disabled and this did not change the problem.

Hello, maybe the question need to move by a moderator to thunderbird support ?

Is there a way to change the font size and color of text in the calendar app?

Does anyone know a way of changing the font size and color of text in the calendar app that comes with the iPad 2? It is very hard to see the small gray numbers on the calendar. Thanks

Looks like you didn't get a reply on your post, but it is still a problem. Font size is supposedly changeable via "Accessibility" in Settings, but it doesn't work. You can turn on "Zoom".
