Text tracks change video levels

Does anyone know why turning on any text tracks like the chapters track, darkens the displayed video in the QT player?
You can observe this, by first (if your text tracks are on already) open the properties editor window, (command+J) and turn off any text tracks, then save and close the movie.
Re-open the movie and the video will be brighter, open the properties window again and while watching the video, turn on any text track and you will see the video in the QT player darken. Turning off any text tracks at this point will not return the video to brighter levels, you will have to leave the text tracks off, close the movie and reopen them, to see any change.
Also, does anyone know why when a video is RTSP streamed over the internet, this same issue arises, only this happens to QT movies that have no text track at all, when streamed over the internet, via RTSP, (not progressive download.)
Any ideas would be welcome.

FYI for QuickTimeKirk
As to RTSP QT streaming and captioning, I actually have hinted the caption text track of a streaming movie and via RTSP, have had the captioning show up in a browser window, I know, it was a surprise to me as well.
I actually use SMIL files to add captioning over RTSP streams, which includes the following, if anybody is interested on how to do it. The original QT streaming file has to be captioned, because we also allow progressive download of the same files, so the captioning text track has to be there for QT player to show captioning.
Anyway, the files that are needed to stream QT captioning along with the movie are as follows:
QT movie
QT movie containing and extract of the the text track only, from the original movie being streamed, or a text file, containing timecode and text for captioning. I use the the first one, it's just easier for my work flow.
HTML embedded web page, with the proper QT coding.
.SMIL file, which controls the playback of the QT movie and captioning text file or captioning text movie. This file loads both the movie and captioning file in sync and controls where the captioning window is located in relation to the movie window, which is embedded in the html web page.
I know, it seems complicated, but once you have done one, it's easy! If anyone needs more details, I'd be glad to impart more detail.

How do I print a movie with a text track to video?

Hello,
How can I get the subtitles in a text track to appear on a file in iMovie or Final Cut so it can be printed to video? Or put differently, how can I render that information so it becomes a part of the video track? The best I can do is print the clip with the subtitle area intact, but the area is filled in with white. I'm using QTP7.
Thanks!

I'm not sure how to do this with Quicktime, but VideoLAN can do it by using the "soverlay" module with the output transcoder.

How do I remove the blue bar which appears when I make text tracking changes in CS5?

I have searched the preferences, but can't find an option to remove the ugly blue background which appears when you adjust the tracking of selected text. It really interferes with the design view, especially when working on large type sizes.
Please can someone let me know how to get rid of this annoying feature!!
thanks
Ian

Video changes after applying text track

Has anyone here seen this problem.
I work for education, so by federal law we must caption all video used by students. The problem I'm encountering is that when I apply a text track to a QT file, so that it is captioned, it changes the video track, so that the color doubles and the contrast of the image darkens.
If I turn off the text track this problem persists. If I extract the video from this file, (using the extract track option) into a new movie, (no text track brought over from the old movie) the video is fine again, till I add a new text track, then the whole problem presents itself again.
Has anyone seen this problem and if so, is there a soultion?
This also happens, if you apply a chapter text track as well.

Thanks for the resonse
The files are generated from an uncompressed 10bit video file, (exported out of FCP) and encoded, using Cleaner 6.5.
Chapter, (added in FCP) and captioning, (via Mac Caption Pro software) is added to the file, via text tracks, to the origianl video. These tracks are turned off prior to encoding the QT streaming files. But the data is transfered to the final QT streaming file during the creation of the steraming file.
All settings are set at default, the videos transparency is set to "None (allow dithering)" Layer 0. I've never change any of the settings of the tracks from there default settings.
To see this issue on your end, just extract the video from one of your current QT files, which will open it into a new window an compare the two videos at the same frame. More than likely, you will see what I'm seeing. Once a text track has been turned on, unchecking it will not return the video to normal, only extraction of the video to a new movie will reveal the original state of the the QT video.
Let me know what you find, thanks!

Word blacks out text; possibly related to Track Changes feature

(also posted to Microsoft Answers forum, but I suspect that this is going to need Pro assistance!)
I was editing a 150+ page document in Word 2007 (on Windows 7 PC with all updates applied). I'd already been working with the document for several hours when suddenly large chunks of the document were blacked out. Paging up or down eliminated the problem
momentarily, but further edits caused it to happen over and over again. Some squiggly underlines show through the black, but little else. We realized that it was happening when I had Track Changes on and displayed the changes in balloons rather than inline;
when I moved the mouse into the area where the balloons were displayed, that's when the text was blacked out.
We figured that the document was corrupted. However, this is also happening now with another document that's much shorter and far cleaner than the first one. The problem also occurs on PCs other than mine. I opened a clean template, pasted the
unformatted text from the source document into the clean template, and the problem persists in the new doc, so I don't think it's a problem with the documents -- or at least not solely.
We tried this on a newer PC with a ramped-up video card and got the same results. It has not happened (near as we can tell) with Track Changes turned off, but I must track the changes I make so working with TC off isn't an option.
Before anyone asks, I cannot provide a copy of any of the documents because they are strictly confidential.
TIA!

Hi,
I have tried in my Word 2007 with Track Changes and I cannot reproduce the issue.
Since you also tried in other files and PCs, so try to open the file in safe mode to check the issue.
For more information about safe mode, please refer to the link:

How do you copy and paste track changes material in Pages from one point in a document to another and keep both the old text along with the track changed thus far in the new pasted location?

Depending on whether track changes is on/paused, Pages thinks the pasted material is either all new and thus highlights it as a big track change or just copies the old material along with the edits as plain text so that I cannot see my track changes. I need to be able to copy and paste in the same document and still be able to see the older text along with the changes to certain sections thus far. Is this possible? I need a step-by-step "talk to me like I'm five" instructional if what I would like can be done.
Thanks for any help!

ric,
I just made a check and tracking works for me in a text box. The Help File States:
When change tracking is on, you can see:
Text that has been added, deleted, edited, or replaced in the document body, header, footer, shapes, and text boxes
Tables, charts, and shapes that have been added or deleted inline
Paragraph additions, deletions, or replacements
Text with style changes
Character and paragraph formatting changes
New or deleted hyperlinks, Address Book fields, placeholders, or bookmarks
A new or deleted table of contents
Edits displayed in thumbnail view
Are you sure you've got Tracking On? Comments on?

A script that can be used to track text content changes in indesign?

Is there a possibility a script that can be used to track text content changes in indesign. My Indesign software's version is CS3. As you can see below, I have deleted some texts and added some. I did it in another software.
I have been searched for a long time. Because of my poor English, I still can't come up with any Object Model related to the script yet.
Here is some idea of mine:
Use the script tracking my revising texts. When I add some new texts, the texts will be underlined. When I delete some texts, the position of the first character of the removed text will be added a small red triangle or something.
Thanks in advance.

Hidden dragon, what does that mean?
I can't comprehend fully what you said.
Is IDML short for Indeisgn Markup Language?
I think you are telling me that I can open the Indeisgn document by using the software InCopy. Then I have change some contents. InCopy will help me tracking the revision.

Video level changes after render

I used 3-way Color Corrector to adjust levels on my video clip. It looks good on the scope, but after I render, the video level returns to 105%. I searched for this problem in the archive, and the suggestion was to change render settings to "render all in High Precision YUV. I have done that, but the problem isn't solved. What gives?

Can't replicate your problem. Have you tried trashing your FCP preferences?

Copy text from word without track changes

Version: Word 14.0.6129.5000 32 bit
OS: Win 7
Hi -
We receive tons of word-documents to our newspaper, and many of these are copied and pasted into incopy. Some of the editors also use track changes in word heavily.
The ordinary ctrl+a ctrl+c ctrl-v copies track-changes-info. (This also apply if we copy to notepad etc.)
Is there an easy way to copy just the text without all the track chages-info, just the final text?
This is a big problem for us, and I haven't found a quick and easy solution on the web.
Regards -
Johannes

Hi Hans,
I just retested this Copy/Paste of Tracked Changes and Comments under Word 2011 for the Mac and Word 2010 for the PC. The results vary.
Regarding the PC with 2010 version.
Regardless of the Show Tracking settings in the Source document, the tracked changes DO NOT transfer from the source Word document to the destination Word document.
Regardless of the Show Tracking setting in the Source document, comments ALWAYS carry over into the destination Word document.
In all cases, source document tracked changes ALWAYS transfer to Note documents.
Paste Unformatted DOES NOT eliminate the tracked changes and comments when pasting to a Word destination document
Regarding Word 2011 on the Mac
Regardless of the Show Tracking settings in the source document, the tracked changes DO NOT transfer from the source Word document to the destination Word document.
Regardless of the Show Tracking setting in the Source document, comments ALWAYS carry over to the destination Word document.
In all cases, source document tracked changes DO NOT transfer to Text (txt) documents.
Paste Unformatted ALWAYS eliminates the tracked changes and comments when pasted into the destination Word document.
On both versions the default settings for Smart Copy/Paste and Cut, Copy, Paste we in effect. All test files where xml formats. (docx)

Linking text to track changes

Hello all, my end goal is to be able to track changes to variable text that gets added to a text frame that has particular tags in it. For example the text frame may have this:
Save <text1>
Reg price <text2>
I then susbtitute in <text1> and <text2> with variable text but would like to maintain a link to those individually to see if anything has changed. I do not care if the words "Save" or "Reg price" change and I can't use those words to know where my variables are because they may not always be there. Another example could just have variable text, in which I would want to keep track of the changes individually like this:
<text1>
<text2>
<text3>
Any ideas?
Thanks!

The text itself is tagged. I am retrieving the text from a database and replacing the corresponding <text1> with the text from the database. I then want to be able to update the database with just changes that occurr to the database text that got added. It is very simple when the textframe just holds one <text1> with no static text, because in that instance I just take whatever is in the textframe and update the database when the editing in indesign is complete. However, I would like to add the capability of having more than one <text*> label and also be able to have static text.
For example:
Database looks like this:
text1 = "1.99"
text2 = "2.99"
textFrame looks like this:
Save <text1>
Reg price <text2>
After replacing the text:
Save 1.99
Reg price 2.99
Then lets say I edit the second price and text:
Save 1.99
Regular price 4.00
I then want to update the database to say
text1 = "1.99"
text2 = "4.00"
I hope thats more clear!

Embedded graphic in deleted text in a tracked change (CS4)

I Placed a Word file full of tracked changes and graphics. When I check the list of links (all embedded at this point), the first one is marked with page "DT". When I try to Go To it tells me "Cannot show link: The selected item is in deleted text in a tracked change."
I didn't know ID understood tracked changes, except in that it seems to accept all of them as it imports. I guess I could just ignore it there, but its presence offends me. Whatever it is, it's something I don't want. How can I get rid of it?
Ken

Sorry to keep bumping this, but I'm amazed no one else has run into it yet.
Should be fairly easy to test: Open Word, put some text in, turn on Track Changes, add a picture, delete the picture, save the file, Place in IDCS4 with "Track Changes for InCopy" turned on. You should get the embedded picture listed in Links with no way to get rid of it.
If someone can describe to me how to take this through InCopy (do I have InCopy?) maybe I can get rid of it that way.
It's gotten worse: I thought I'd be smart and unembed it and delete the linked file. Now I'm constantly reminded that it's [not] there when I open the file.

Added music track to video..entire screen is green and I cannot delete music track

I added music track to video, inadvertently dropped outside of clip now entire area outside of track is green and I can't remove or delete music.

i literally deleted the entire "Purchases" folder and restarted the phone. it recreated the folder (except without all our problem files) as soon as it powered back on.
no idea what downloads refers to - i tried this process with that folder and it didn't change anything or solve the prob.
as for the syncing of the playlist - i still don't think that would solve it. it seems like there is a discrepancy being created whenever a song is downloaded from the store, period. and as for deleting the stream files - no. I switched over to manual manage, deleted the files manually, but they simply recreated themselves as soon as i did another sync.
It was indeed the purchases folder that needed reconciling.
as a fun side note - i used phoneview to make a PDF of all my 60,000 texts from the previous 3 years, and then deleted them from my phone - saving myself like 10 gigs
realizing now this could all seem like i'm some rep for the phoneview app. i swear i'm not hahahaha

Best Practices for Text That Changes During Sequence?

I have been using creating videos like the one here, in which text shows up every so often over the scene:
Making The Walking Dead Pinball Machine - YouTube
Thus far, I've been creating a title, duplicating it for each time the text changes, and loading each title into the sequence at the time I want it to appear. Is there a simpler way to create text that changes throughout a sequence, so I don't have to worry about each overlay having slight differences in position or other attributes?
Just curious if there's an easier workflow for putting text over video.
Thanks!

You can also save yourself a few steps by duplicating the title through the Timeline by ALT+dragging it to the new location (which creates not only a new track item but also an independent new project item), then double-clicking the new track item to open it in the Titler for editing. But this refinement in your workflow has no bearing on the stated concern re: "differences in position or other attributes"--that's entirely a function of the changes you make within the Titler.
