Scrolling text font question

Is it possible to use more than one font size in one clip of scrolling text?
I would like some things a bit larger than others, but I think If I make multiple clips, I will have a hard time syncing them up.
Thanks in advance.

If you mean Title 3D, no, it does not do centering like Scrolling Text. Title 3D will only center 1 column nicely, not 2 columns with even spacing between the columns like you often see in feature films. You have to use Scrolling Text to do that, and it works like a charm, but you don't have the control over fonts, etc. like you do in Title 3D. <Sigh>, I wish Title 3D would do it ...

Scrolling Text Box question

I'm changing a site for a friend. She wants to add a scrolling text box with a bio of herself on the grid we're already using on her page. The problems I'm having are it's difficult to resize the box once on the grid (you can't) and I keep missing anything that looks like the ability to scroll up and down on the text box. I'm sure I'm missing something which is why I'm here. :-)
Thanks in advance! :-)

check out the overflow:scroll command in the css - I'm not sure how this works with grids, however - but it could be a starting point....
hope this helps

Specifying text font in a scroll pane

Below is a fragment of code that attempts to display text in a scroll pane. Basically this works OK, except for the following:
1. Changing the font doesn't seem to make any difference. I tried "Arial", as shown, and "Curier", the display looks identical in both cases.
2. Multiple blank spaces are replaced by a single blank space. So that "Baa baa" is displayed as "Baa baa".
I would like to be able to display messages with many lines of text in a scroll pane preserving the format if possible, which relies on the blank spaces. I hope you can suggest how to do this better.
Thans for you help.

    JLabel label = new JLabel(text);
    Font font = new Font("Arial",Font.PLAIN,12);
    label.setFont(font);
    JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane(label);

try using a textArea instead of a label and include tabs for your multiple spaces.

          text3.setText(text);
          Font font = new Font("Courier",Font.PLAIN,12);

Quick question about scrolling text....

Doing quick credits (scrolling). Trying to figure out how to get the (last line of the) text to stop in the middle of the screen, so I can then do a fade....
I'm sure it's easy, and will keep plugging away here, but if anyone can quickly fire off a note, I'd be grateful...thanks!
(tried to create a Freeze Frame on this, but it appears it does not recognize Scrolling Text as a clip it can extract from - eg. the freeze frame is just blank.)
(also can't seem to do a ramp up/down or a Time Remap, etc.)

I've found the easiest way to do this is to create the text in Photoshop. Start a new PS document ... say 720 x 3000 and create or paste your text. If the document is too long, you can crop off the unneeded part when you're finished with the text.
Import the PS file into FCP and use the Centering controls to animate it as needed. Use the smooth or Ease In/Ease Out command on the ending keyframe so the stop isn't too abrupt.

Scrolling Text horizontally (Ticker)

Hello, I would like to develop a scrolling ticker which scrolls text horizontally from right to left. I also want it to be scrollable (i.e. while the text is scrolling I would like to be able to scroll to the beginning or end of the scrolling text using the horizontal scrollbar, to view the history of trades etc.)
The scrolling text could be up to 6 lines each like this
Coffee.......Coffee...........Sugar.........<<<<More Scrolling<<<<

----------->>>ScrollBar Here<<<-----------------------------------My question is does anyone know what would be the best way to do this? Should I use java.awt.Canvas or is there a swing Class that I can use.
Thanks, any help would be much appreciated

Thanks very much dchsw! This will definetley point me in the right direction.

A JTable with a a custom model would probably be best,
but take a look at this using a JScrollPane over a
JPanel that JLabels get added to every time a new
"tick" comes in.
Obviously there are many problems with using this in
the real world, but it may give you some ideas.
Enjoy!

Scrolling text is jumpy/pulsing when compressed

I'm making end credits using the scroll up text animation behavior in Motion 2.1.2. Whenever I compress it for DVD Studio Pro and insert it the text looks terrible. It is pulsing in and out and is hardly readable. I found a few other people who have had this problem, but no solutions that have helped.
I have done credits using the scrolling text in Final Cut without much problem, but for this project I need motion in order to use text of different sizes.
Here are my specs:
Project Properties - NTSC DV; 720x480; Pixel Aspect Ratio: NTSC D1/DV - 0.90; Field Order: Lower First (Even); Frame Rate: 29.97; Background color is black (0%)
Render Settings - Motion Blur Samples: 8; Shutter Angle: 360; Output Antialiasing Method: Best
I used Export using Compressor: DVD Best Quality 90 minutes 4:3; I tried using the Color+Alpha and just Color in the Output options. Premultiply alpha and Use field render are both checked. Use motion blur is not checked.
Most of the text is Geneva Regular 14 pt font. I have tried completely white as well as setting the RGB sliders all at 235 with no difference. I also tried using a black outline with no difference. The scroll up behavior has a rate of 52.
Please help! It took me forever to put these credits together and I don't want to start from scratch with another program. Making the text bigger helps a little bit but I would really like to keep it the same size for timing and format sake. However, I can't keep it like this because it looks terrible both on an Apple Cinema display and on a tv after burned to DVD.
Thanks!

My first guess would be the font itself. Geneva is a pretty thin font and it's not likely to look good interlaced and on a TV. Can you try a thicker font?
I'd also turn off Field Rendering. It looked much worse with it on than off. Keep Frame Blending though.

Scrolling Text box - won't work in IE

Hey everyone. I'll admit right off the bat that I'm very new
to web design, so I'm sure I've been making some mistakes. I'm much
more of a designer than a coder, but I'm doing the best I can.
I'm wanting to have a scrolling text box embedded on some of
my pages, and have figured out how to do it, thanks largely to
these forums. I've made a CSS tag that has gotten it working
correctly - sort of.
You can see the page in question at
http://www.kylehamrick.com/testing.html
It appears to be working correctly in Firefox. However, in
IE, the text just keeps flowing down onto the page, outside of the
allotted area. What am I doing wrong?
Also, is there a way to make this look correct in
Dreamweaver? Once I add text that exceeds the table height, it
breaks up my page, though it still looks fine in the browser. Is
there something I can do to correct this?
Thanks in advance for any assistance with this. I sincerely
appreciate it.
Any other advice in regards to the page is welcome! Please
keep in mind that I'm very new to this, and it's still under
construction, so don't be TOO harsh... =)
Also, is this all I have to do? It seems that you all have a
way to examine my code and such just by having me post the url, is
that right? Is there anything else you need from me?

Anyone? Sorry, had to give this a bump. Seems it got buried
VERY quickly.
Again, I'd appreciate any guidance you can provide!

CS6 Mouse Wheel Scrolling for Fonts in Character Panel

in Illustrator CS6 I can no longer use my mouse wheel to scroll the list of fonts [which appear when you click the down arrow next to the font family] in the Character control panel. I could do this in CS5.
Anyone know how to fix this? I think it dos not work in Photoshop CS6 either.

Thanks Ivan for the quick response.
Yes, if I simply hover my mouse over the Font drop down it allows me to scroll through fonts [but only shows the single, selected font]. This is quite helpful, if I have text selected, scrolling through fonts quickly changes my selected text to the scrolled to font, allowing me to preview fonts fast.
While I do love and use the feature, I still often like to pull up the "full drop down list" of fonts like I've previously mentioned and use the mouse wheel to scroll through the list quickly. This enables me to see many fonts at once, instead of just a single one at a time. But again, this is where the mouse scroll wheel does not seem to scroll the list. I was able to scroll though the list in older versions of Illustrator CS.
I've attached screenshots to show the specific "list" i'm referring to, just so you fully understand what i'm talking about (which I think you already do).

Scroll through fonts (using arrow keys) in CS3?

I've searched a couple dozen blogs and this forum, but I cannot seem to find a way to scroll through fonts using the arrow keys in CS3. The tips I've been able to find are for older versions of PS and don't seem to work with CS3. Am I missing something? Am I crazy?
Many thanks!

Okie Dokie.
So, on the left, I have the type tool selected.
In the middle is the drop down font family panel.
On the right, you'll see that I have the text layer selected.
Oh, and you can see in the top that my text is not in editing mode (hence the lack of the green check/red "no" symbol).
Am I doing this correctly?
Oh and if I trash my preferences will I lose keyboard short cuts I've set up?
THanks again!

Creating scrolling text on an iWeb page

I came across Old Toad's Test site and was suitably impressed by the enhancements detailed on his home page. (I did not post the link as I did not want to breach any confidentiality).
Q) How do I get scrolling text on an iweb page? By way of an experiment, I have copied the html code from old toads site into a html widget and then selected apply however the text simply displays, it does not scroll.
I have no html experience apart from cutting and pasting code into the widget box and then selecting apply. What am I doing wrong, please can anyone help? Thanks

The scrolling box is on this demo page. As I mentioned it will work with a text, pdf and Word document. I've not been able to get an rtf document to display nor a Pages document. But you can create pdf files from each of those applications and use the pdf version.
If you can live with the default text that comes with using a .txt file it will not have toolbar at the top that a Word or PDF document will and be a lot cleaner. There may be a way to set the font to be displayed in the page but it can't be done in the text document itself. I've not figured out how do to that as yet.

Text / Font Preview

This may have been mentioned before, but I wanted to get it out of my head before I forgot it.
Dream: A font preview system within illustrator.
1. Type in your sample text within a dialog and preview typed characters on all the fonts of your system.
2. The ability to save your fonts within illustrator in sets
These two features would save so much time scrolling thru font selections.

I don't recall a setting that would cause that behavior, but does anyone really know all the many, many settings?
What operating system are you running?
What has changed on your computer since it last worked?
Does the text have any layer style effects?
This could be a situation where Photoshop CS3 is falling out of date with functionality of modern video drivers, though more often it is something that's been installed or configured.
Some things to try:
Try resetting the Character tool by making the Character panel visible then using the menu at the upper-right:
Try resetting your Photoshop overall preferences to defaults (Ctrl - Shift - Alt immediately after starting Photoshop from its icon or menu item) just to be sure it's not a heretofore undiscovered setting or an invalid combination of settings.
Make sure you have the latest video drivers, or in some case a driver that's been rolled back to an older version (might be more applicable in this situation). Experimentation may be in order.

Set text font string indicator

Hi!
Is there a way to change the font in a string indicator?
and is there a font in LabVIEW that has equal spacing for every caracter?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

That means you want to change the font programmatically.
Well... here is a twist.. Typically, this is done using the Caption for the indicator, because it also allow you to be able to change the text (string).
The shortcut way to do this is to:
1. within the block diagram, right-click the indicator and select create property node
2. use the selector to choose the Caption > text > font (It could be Caption.text.font)
Now I do not remember if it is a numeric value that is put in for the font...
Change to Write (right-click on property node and select "Change All to Write" (simply because my memory is not that good + no LabVIEW with me)
Then right click on the bottom box, where it displays the Caption.text.font and select create constant. It should then allow you to select the font. Otherwise, you can click on the question mark ar the upper right corner (Context Help) which will guide you. Context Help can also be found under the Help Menu.
Hope this helps.

Is it possible to have a scrolling text field in a quiz slide?

I'm trying to build a quiz, and there is too much text that I need to display for the question. Is there any way to implement a scroll-able text field in a quiz slide?

I suppose you don't want to use the default question slides but are creating custom question slides? Which version do you use? Since CP7 there is a Scrolling Text Interaction that you could use, compatible with both SWF and HTML output.
