TExt Problems and Scrolling end credits

I am trying to make my final credits at the end of the feature I am working on. The problem I am having is that LiveType takes up too much space and s l o w s down the process making it close to impossible to work with.
So I picked FCP text scrolling but I want to make the character BOLD and actor name regular, but it won't let me. If I pick bold, it all goes bold and vice versa. Can someone help me find a way to select individual text and change it without changing all the text.
I looked in the forums but could not find anything.
Thanks

Well if FCP isn't doing it for you, then I would say look elsewhere, like Photoshop. When I did credits for a musical I shot, I needed to have some VERY versatile credits. The cast was in the traditional sense with the Character on the left and Actor on the right, but then there was the Pit, which was arranged in two columns, with different instruments in each column. At the end, I returned to the traditional titles for the crew but then needed a block of text for the Special Thanks. I used Photoshop with 720 pixels wide by something like 1,000 or even 2,000 pixels high, then once I brought the file into FCP, I sen an in/start keyframe and and out/end keyframe, and FCP did all the scrolling for me. By using PS, you can do ANYTHING you want to the text, bold, outline, heck-even drop shadows and glows, not like I'd want to though. While in theory, FCP should have better titling tools, at least there's a fairly simple alternative way in the form of Photoshop of doing complex titles.

I want to reinstall CS4 as it has been doing some strange things regarding printing, etc. However, when I did this before, it created a major problem and I ended up buying a new computer because no one could figure out why it kept hanging up during the installation. Hours on the phone, no results. I'm scared to do it on this computer. Should I try? Not even the Adobe support could get it resolved. I believe it was somehow reading a product number that could not be deleted or something, and nothing worked.

Hello, as an addition:
In your case I would download a really new trial version of your program(s) in question and change it/them into a "real" version later, BUT because you said, that you "re-installed" already, so it will become a little bit more complicated. It would be necessary that you have to use "Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool" as Keith wrote.
Here an advice for that (The order varies depending on your individual needs. Please read all my proposals first, so you can better choose the first step:)
1. Maybe you have to activate/deactivate, so please have a look there:
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/activation-deactivation-products.html
2. Sometimes, we know in the meantime, the "opm.db file" is the culprit. In this case you should delete it.
3. Be careful with (de)installing aso. by (de)installing by your own resources. As much as I regret it and as strange as it may seem I fear it's a challenge for Adobe's Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool. Sometimes - for whatever reasons - CC doesn't "want" to work. In this case you should CC completely delete and reinstall by help of Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool. (A try to uninstall by own resources is not enough!)
I quote: Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool helps resolve installation problems for Adobe Creative Cloud and Adobe Creative Suite (CS3-CS6) applications. The tool removes installation records for prerelease installations of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications. It does not affect existing installations of previous versions of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications.
Please use: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html and follow the prescribed sequence of operations
4. If necessary and for further questions click through http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html and if "open" please use the chat, I for may part - as it seems unlike you - had the best experiences. I quote from Adobe's employee Preran: The chat button is activated as soon as there is an agent available to help.

Scrolling End Credits in FCP using PS

I'm back at this again - after a few years. We've switched our format (this one shot on RED) - PS titles set up as 1920x20000; video sequence is 1920...
First when I brought them in they were squished/distorted...when I played with scale & distortion (what should distortion 'be' set at anyway?) I got more problems than answers;
Now, when I think I'm on to something after re-reading some threads, watching vid tutorials, etc I'm trying to import my PS doc (layers merged/transparent background) I get the following error in FCP: File Error: 1 file(s) recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown....I have no idea what this means. Usually this trick worked like a charm & now I'm re-stumped. Anyone run into this problem?
sigh Oh for a decent easy scrolling titler......
Thanks.

The default for FCP is to scale imported items to fit the timeline. In your case, you must disable that action. But a 20k-tall file could be an issue no matter what. I'd plan on breaking that up into four segments that all travel at the same speed so there are no visible breaks. Scale should be 100%, Distortion Aspect Ratio should be 0.

You can search for the error, we see it often around here. The causes and cures are numerous and confusing. Could be the file is actually locked, could be you don't have access to the drive. Could just be too darned big, could be CMYK instead of RGB.

You can use any of the available tools to create scrolling text. But most video text tools are not designed to be typographical tools for the extraordinarily creative or to satisfy commonly employed credit formats. Most of us use Photoshop or another text-friendly editor to exert the most control over the typography and layout.
Of additional interest will be how you render the scrolling. You will want to view the results carefully to determine if the pixel accuracy is suitable to your display. When I stay for the credits at a digital IMAX show, I am bothered by the jumpiness. When I view a 35mm film, I'm delighted by the smoothness. What are your needs?

Time Machine stuck while copying and it ends up blocking the whole mac

I've a problem with my time machine backup. The backup drive is a partition on an external USB drive. The drive has another partition for data. Everything worked good until yesterday. It gets stuck while copying the files, e.g. 532 MB of 5.45 GB, and it doesn't move even after a couple of hours. The backupd process is constantly using 100 % of one CPU and the other applications are getting stuck as well. I also notice that the USB drive stops spinning at a certain point, as if it goes idle.
I can't cancel the backup and I have to force shut down the Mac. After the restart, the backup will stop at Zero KB. If I delete the inProgress file nothing changes.
Here's the log:
Starting manual backup
Backing up to: /Volumes/LaCie/Backups.backupdb
Event store UUIDs don't match for volume: Macintosh HD
Deep event scan at path:/ reason:must scan subdirs|new event db|

☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select

Enter the word "Starting" (without the quotes) in the String Matching text field. You should now see log messages with the words "Starting * backup," where * represents any of the words "automatic," "manual," or "standard." Note the timestamp of the last such message. Clear the text field and scroll back in the log to that time. Select the messages timestamped from then until the end of the backup, or the end of the log if that's not clear. Copy them (command-C) to the Clipboard. Paste (command-V) into a reply to this message.

I send a text to someone and it comes back almost instantly and says the message is invalid or the person does not subscribe. But yet they can send me a text and I can see it. Is the problem on my end or theirs?

No. It's not an iMessage. Just a regular text message. I can receive their texts and make a call to them. ??

What's the best way to create basic scrolling up end credits

What's the best way to create basic scrolling up end credits with FCE. I want create normal look after the film that has a gap between the working title and the name (center-aligned, two-column
scrolls)
In the FCE Manual there was a good way to to do it with an asterisk (*) between the the words, but problem occurs when I had an umlaut (ÄÖ) in the word. The asterisk becomes visible and as many umlauts in the working title so many letters missing from the beginning of the name. I'm from Finland and we have lots of umlauts. So is there any other way to do this with FCE.

You can use Title Crawl in Boris to do this. You set it up like a word processor with a right aligned tab, a gap and then a left aligned tab. Double click in the ruler to create a tab stop. Double click it again to change its alignment. You use the tab key to move between the stops. It's kind of hard to explain, but if you play with it, I think you'll get it.
There is also Boris documentation on the install disc which will explain it more fully.

LG Ally text message and gps problems

hello. ive been with verizon for about 10 years maybe. ive been overall happy with the service and customer service. but the prices should be alot lower.lol. i started out with the motorolas then switched to the lg phones. only problem with the motorola was the speakers. not loud enough. could never hear the phone ring. the lgs usually suffer from the same problem.
i had a few phone problems but nothing like this lg ally. im on my second one and about to be my 3rd one in about 3 months. 1st phone i had every problem under the sun. this phone i am suffering from text message problems and gps problems. i suffer from what everyone else has problems with. the messages wont send. they will eventually lock up. it will show the envelope with the red explanation point ( i think thats the graphic). then usually everytime when i sent a text the texts will close. it will send then bounce back and show up as a draft and i have to resend it and wait for it to go thru. finally the last problem with the texts. when i send a text a phone number from my contacts shows up and freezes on the screen. its in white text with a black background. its the same number every time. it stays on the screen until i restart or pull my battery out.
gps. when i open up google gps that comes with the phone i make sure the gps is on... when the directions are found and the map pops up 9 out of 10 times it just keeps saying searching for gps. the turn by turn never is found. the 1 time it does it takes a good 10 minutes to be found. atleast on my first one ally the gps did work 8 out of 10 times. it just took a good 5-10 minutes for gps to be found and show turn by turn.
anyone else have these problems? where you able to fix them or did you need to get a new phone? the 2.1 update was supposed to fix problems. i think they just made it worse. the ally is supposed to have 2.2 froyo. where is it. is it ever going to get it. i got this phone because i like the lgs and the keyboard. also the sales representative on the phone was giving the lg ally rave reviews. why couldnt he say dont buy this go with a motorola droid. this phone is the biggest junk ever made

I do apologize you are having trouble with your device I looked in our information system on the LG Ally in reguards to issues you are having it states if you have the Free Droid Security anti virus protection application down loaded it will cause the phone to lock up or freeze. Check and make sure you do not have the application on your device. Check you GPS settings and make sure correct. Go to Settings; Location & Security; make sure GPS is on wireless network. If this does not fix issue you can try doing a Master Reset on your device. Make sure your contacts are saved in your G-mail account or through Back Up Assistance.

N82 Animated SMS and Predictive Text Problems

I've just got a new N82 and think it's a great phone. I downloaded and installed the Animated SMS program from Nokia's software site and have a couple of problems! The first is that I've set my left direction shortcut to come up with a New Message, now it lists SMS, Email and MMS but no A-SMS, I have to go through the message icon in the main menu. The second problem is that when I open the A-SMS application up and I do use and like Predictive Texting, it doesn't work! Everytime I push a button to start texting nothing displays on the screen and SPELL comes up over the left softkey. Turn off Predictive Texting and it works, very annoying. Anyone else had any problems and anyone know a solution? Have contacted Nokia who haven't got back to me yet.

you might want to try FA136050 here
/t5/Software-Updates/Symbian-Anna-Troubleshooting/td-p/1127953
but i've always used the * button to scroll through options. once you move off the word it stops being a sequence of key presses and just becomes the letters as is.
There's no dignity in begging for kudos. Do it for the karma.

Compare Bluray and Dvd Chapters and Scrolling still text

Question 1:
Using PremierePro CS5 to set some Encore-Markers and DynamicLink to Encore to create menu:
Using the same project, the behaviour is quite different:
for Dvd : Encore-markers behave like Chapters, so I can use the player remote control to go to next chapter (even it is not defined in the menu)
that is very handly function.
for Bluray : Encore-markes behave like Titles and not Chapters, so I cannot use the player remote control to jump to next Encore-markers
I just looking for references to understand and do the correct ajustments.
Thanks
tt
Question 2:
Using PremierePro CS5 to add a still picture and scroll it up in slow motion:
Using the same project, I understand that Bluray is far better than DVD:
for Bluray : the scrolling of the still picture is smooth (it's very pleasant with texts too)
for Dvd : the scrolling is jumpy (texts are dizzy and not readable)
Is there any fix for that (.....something like PremierePro option to smooth it out a little (result little burry) or ... something like ...deinterlacing ?)
Thanks
tt

POINT 1:
I will skip DynamicLink for circumventing some issues for sure, but it is so handy and makes me lazy to do things fast.
So far I am using DynamicLink for updating still images in menu with Photoshop and it's working fine.
Also I have tried sucessfully modifying some assets using AfterEffect. Yes, there are ressources demanding since I have a skinny 12 Gigs RAM.
POINT 2:
I have to be more specific in comparing Encore-Bluray and Encore-Dvd (I am not comparing HD with SD).
I just want to see the big picture comparison (equivalent between Encore-Bluray and Encore-Dvd) instead of "TRY-AND-SEE"
Let me explain:
1. Encore-Marker set in PremierePro-CS5 is consider as Chapter in Encore-Dvd)
2. The final DVD created: I can use the remote control to jump to next Chapter even the Chapter is not referenced anywhere in Encore-Dvd
3. Encore-Marker set in PremierePro-CS5 is consider as Title in Encore-Bluray) (the same Encore-Marker)
4. The final Bluray created: I cannot use the remote to jump because there is only one Chapters but many Titles.
When I am on the last step, of Encore-CS5-Build-Dvd or Encore-CS5-Build-Bluray, i expect to get the same result when playing the Bluray of Dvd
with the Player (Home DVD Player or Home Bluray Player and absolutely no PC )
WHAT ELSE IS DIFFERENT BETWEEN THOSE TWO FORMATS? for the same project in ENCORE-CS5
(I need that information to explain to the end users)
for now, I just try-and-see and take notes.

Problem sending text messages and imessages

Hi,
I have been having some problems with my iphone 5 when sending and receiving text messages and imessages. When i go to send a text or imessage it will take a long time for the message to try to send through, then it comes up with message failure. I have full reception and internet connection and the phone is runing on the lastest ios7.1.2, everything is working in that respect. Sometimes it will freeze my whole inbox and i end up having to turn my phone off and on again to unfreeze it. It has also started taking a long time to receive messages, i will get a message and it will say that it was received 30mins ago when its only just shown up on my phone. I am also having problems deleting messages, as it freezes whenever i try to delete them.
Any suggestions on what to do?

Problems with scrolling and Mission Control

I have this problem:
When scrolling down any page, the letters will blur at the top of the screen and not the bottom.
When swiping acrross pages in the launchpad, it occasionaly freezes half way between the two.
When I swipe up with four fingers to access mission control, the screen becomes very sluggish. Swiping back down (or clicking a tab) is even worse, causing slow "laggy" animations.

You are using ADE on Windows or Mac ? and their versions ??
Please restart your machine and try once again.
Thanks

In the last few days, I've encountered a problem with scrolling with my up & down keys. The up & down keys seem to, now function as Home & End keys. MyPage Up & Page Down keys seem to do nothing. What is wrong?

Hit the '''F7''' key, you probably have Caret browsing turned on.

Lines around type and other type/text problems in Dreamweaver CS3

Dear Dreamweaver forum:
Good news/bad news,
First the good news…
My thanks to a forum member by the name of Mylenium. With Mylenium's advice I have improved my halo problem by including a black background when I save type in Illustrator CS3 as part of importing it into Dreamweaver CS3.
However, the bad news, is that I’m still having type and text problems.
Problem area 1
Now, in Dreamweaver, I’m getting lines appearing around the type.
I am dragging and dropping the .gif type file into a Dreamweaver Div Tag.
How do I get rid of the lines around the type so that they do not show up in the Safari browser?
(Please see below)
Problem area 2
I cannot drag and drop text from a Word .doc file into a Dreamweaver div tag.
I also cannot copy and paste Word .doc text into a div tag.
How do I include text on my webpage without having to manually type it in?
(Please see below)
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
From within Dreamweaver CS3, how do I place text? Dragging and droppign the file does not work.
This is screenshot of what I see so far when I use Safari to test what I have made so far in Dreamweaver CS3.
I get lines around type.........not usually a good thing.........How do I fix it?
The way I created the portfolio type in IllustratorCS3 using the File > Save for Web and Devices. I then imported the resulting .gif file so that it was within my root folder within the Files panel within Dreamweaver CS3.
Am I doing this right?

Hi
The problems you are experiencing with the image text, (why are you using image text, these days?) is probably cause by the image having a border when created in illustrator, or the image size being set incorrectly.
As for the word text if you are using windows, see http://livedocs.adobe.com/en_US/Dreamweaver/9.0/help.html?content=WSc78c5058ca073340dcda91 10b1f693f21-7ce6.html.
On the mac it is a little more complex, save your word doc as html, then apply the 'clean up word html files', (see - http://livedocs.adobe.com/en_US/Dreamweaver/9.0/help.html?content=WSc78c5058ca073340dcda91 10b1f693f21-7ef5.html) copy the relevant text and mark-up from the word html file, and paste into your html document in the required position.
