Title Tool - text rendring too soft/blury

Hi,
used the Premiere Title Tool occasionally and always got to soft/blury text rendering - it seems optimal for old CRT tubes and interlaced video but looks bad on a 1080p 4:4:4 timeline
If for example I want to add some Text to a imported Photoshop PSD title it doesn't match - because the Premiere Title Tool added text looks soo blurry and washed out compared to the text from the PSD title...
hmm - don't found any setup properties to turn off blurring or something like that...

Hi,
thanks for your replys... so it's a real thing that the title tool is rendering very softly...
--> No it's not a preview thing - I'm on MPE GPU mode and don't render previews.
--> I output my sequences to 2K JPEG2000 in 4:4:4 mode (D-Cinema) so titels have to be crisp and sharp - but even for a Bluray output that's too much antialiasing.
The titel tool is handy if I want to add some words to a existing title or insert some "PRESS COPY" overlay or something like that.
Question: Is there a hidden setup value for antialiasing to tweak?

FCP title tool - left justified text

I'm just generating basic titles within FCP using the built in title tool (not Motion or Live), and need to make some left justified title cards. Centering the text works fine, everything fits on screen. But, when I select "left" justification, the font STARTS in the center of the screen and I lose the last few words off the right side of the screen! When I try to move the font with wireframe, I can place the text manually where I want it, but the words are still cut off on the right side. I know there must be a simple solution to this... right?

Don't move the text by using the wireframe. This just moves the whole layer and you will see the text being but at the border. You need to use the "Origin" parameter to position the text.

Bring foreign text doc into title tool / project

Hi: I'm editing on CS4 and have 4 foreign language videos to edit. I tried this on CS3 and it worked but doesn't seem to work on CS4. I have a word doc on my desktop, the computer sees it as a text doc as word is not on the edit computer. I tried to cut it and paste it into the open title tool, but it doesn't seem to work. How can I bring a foreign text doc into my project? My system is a new PC workstation running XP professional so its got the capability to read Portugiese and Polish. I have to install the Cantonese font. Thanks, Christine

Okay, I've got it working now. What I had to do is open the word doc on my office computer and resave it as an rtf rather than txt to keep the special fonts. I took it over to the workstation. SInce it was rft it could open it and all I had to do then was cut and paste it into the title tool.
Thanks for your help!

Brilliant way to create titles from text files

It was just pointed out to me by a fellow named Greg Hester that there is a way to create titles from a Microsoft Word file using Adobe InDesign. You can create as many titles as you need, and even change text positions around from title to title. Then you export as a PNG.
If you need to go back and change a color or a font type or size or whatever, you can do that to all of them at once and then just export again. They will automatically update in Premiere Pro.
I have never even opened InDesign before, and I was able to follow the instructions in this tutorial without a strain.
The tutorial doesn't show that you can import a frame capture from the video to help position the text, but you can.
This is very cool. If you subscribe to the Creative Cloud, then you have access to InDesign.

Best would be to have this template/style functionality in the title tool itself though
Agreed.
Remember, all this InDesign thing does is create images that can be used as titles. My Macro created actual titles.
What really needs to happen is to have a plugin that creates titles from simple text files like the ones created from Notepad, so no Microsoft program is required. The file could have the text, the font style, and many other parameters, and then it could have the time to place the title on the sequence.
But in the meantime, this InDesign thing seems to be the best we can do for now. If, however, you want to use a fancy font style and it will all be in English, you can use my macro.

Title Tool not updating / saving when making revisions

I've made a few Title's in Premiere Pro and saved them as templates to use through out my production. With CS6 I'm having some issues with it. I'll create a new Title file from a template and make the chages. Everything works fine for a while, but then the changes I make within the title tool do not save after exiting the title tool. The text just reverts back to the point were it stopped working. If I restart Premiere it works again, but only for a while. I think this is a bug, but if anybody has a solution please let me know. Thanks

Wow, with so many reporting similar, there must be something to it, but I have just never encountered it, and I do tons of Titles. The changes always update instantly for me.
Maybe state the Sequence Settings, where this is happening, and where your Title appears (Video Track), relative to other Clips?
I cannot help but think that this is Sequence, or Project specific, and that is why many others have never encountered it.
Good luck,
Hunt

Titles- quick text display and long black spot

I am adding titles with text over black. I can't lengthen the time the title text stays in view without lengthening the total title time so that there's a long black space at the end. I don't see anything in the help section to address this. I'm working in "converge to center" effects.
Suggestions? I've done a dozen or so iMovies and love the tool---but for slower readers, this is a problem.
Thanks

Hi David - I assume you have the problem that your chosen title style allows only 2 lines before repeating the convergence with the next two lines, and the pauses are not long enough for your purpose.
The solution is to extend the length of the pause - but this has to be done with a work-around. You can do it by creating a still-frame of the paused part of the title, but the quality is not quite as good as the original.
There is a better way. This is what I did with your particular title style to extend the pause.
1. Drag the title clip to the desktop. this creates a .dv QuickTime file.
2. Open this file in Quicktime, move the playhead to the paused text, and go Edit>Trim to Selection.
3. Go Command>C (Copy) and then Command V (Paste) and continue to hold down those two keys until a suitable duration has been created - maybe 5 seconds.
4. Save As a self-contained movie, and drag that file back into the iMovie project, and place it in the appropriate position. [You will need to split the original clip at the pause in order to position it].
This has created a 5 second-long clip of the paused text which should be almost indistinguishable in quality from the original. Repeat the process for other pauses where needed.
It is much faster to do than to explain!!

Title tool VideoFrameFactory error message and crashing

I have located a few mentions of this error among other users, but no Adobe response and no clear solution. In PP CS6, I am now getting a an error message every time I open the title tool: ../../src/VideoFrameFactory.cpp-78. About half the time it also crashes. Frustrated! I am trying to complete a two minute video and this portion is taking hours as I keep needing to open up the title tool related panels and to re-start the computer. Please help if you can.

I too have been having the same issue for weeks now.
I'm using Premiere CS6 6.0.3 creative cloud. VideoFrameFactory.cpp-78
Whenever I open a title, or make a new title, I receive the error.    Then I can do one of 2 things...
1. I can close the title, it will save, and then I can exit Premiere and restart Premiere. Upon opening a title, I will get the error message again.
2. I can open another Title (instead of closing Premiere). I will then get the same error message (videoframefactory.cpp-8), but then Premiere will crash. This is 100% occurance rate... If I receive the error, and I dont want premiere to crash, I must exit before opening another title.
I have seen this posted since 2010. Any chance of a fix? I tried various other leads... such as font re-installs, and deleting a WorkspaceConfig file. No luck with either of these.   Also tried a few iterations of Nvidia drivers, uninstall and reinstalls.
Any chance of some assistance? Has anyone else found a fix?   Every day I use the creative cloud, it feels more and more like I'm paying a monthly fee to be a beta tester...

Title tool problem - aspect ratio changing

I'm having a bit of trouble with the title tool in premiere pro cs6. I've never had this happen before. I've got my video in the timeline and it is displayed and edited to the correct aspect ratio (4:3) but when I bring up the title tool to add text over it the video changes aspect ratios to that of a mobile phone vertical (9:16ish). I've attached an image that shows what I'm having trouble with. Any help is appreciated!
http://i.imgur.com/tlK1CCn.jpg

If you open a new the title you are presented with a dialog box with the heigth and width and aspect ratio.
Check it that is the same as your timeline.
Existing titles you can check in the project window or clip info.

Title Tool questions...

I'm a professional feature doc editor new to Premiere from FCP7. I'm creating titles in a project and running into very annoying inconveniences with the implementation of titling in Premiere. I understand how it's working -- each title references a particular instance, so changing a title using the tool changes all other instances of that title. But this is causing me hell and I don't understand why it works that way...
To modify a title without changing previous versions of my timeline, here's what I have to do:
1. Open the title tool. (okay, fine.)
2. Create New Title. (sure, if you insist)
3. Name the new title (Why doesn't it populate the name with the previous name!?)
4. Edit the title (great).
5. Find the title I've created in the Project (why can't I send titles to a specific bin?! -- or can I?)
6. Hold Alt & drag the title into its old position (ugh mouse mouse mouse -- is there a keyboard command that would do this?).
7. Find the title I've created in the Project again. Move it to a bin with the other titles.
In FCP it worked like this:
1. Edit the title.
To create a new title based on an old title in Premiere here's what I have to do:
1. Open the title tool. (okay, fine.)
2. Create New Title. (sure, if you insist)
3. Name the new title (Why doesn't it populate the name with the previous name!?)
4. Edit the title (great).
5. Add the title to the project.
7. Find the title I've created in the Project. Move it to a bin with the other titles.
In FCP it worked like this:
1. Copy & Paste an old title.
2. Edit the title.
Keeping separate versions of my timelines is critical (and totally logical and professional), so I hate, and am basically SCARED, that changes I make in a current timeline could affect (without my being alerted!) stuff elsewhere in the project. Is there a good reason it's implemented this way? Is there any corollary to FCP's "Make Clip Independent" command? I'm happy to learn a new program, and happy that Premiere is working to build something better than FCP7, so does anyone have any suggestions to streamlining my process here? (the alt & drag tip I learned from a search).
I suppose in the rare case where I use the exact same title several times in a project, this behavior could be useful. But that happens much more rarely than when I edit (or even create) any one particular title. Couldn't Adobe at least give us the choice to make them independent?
Thanks,
- Nels

ALt Drag a Title creates a unique new instance. of the Title. Edit it as you wish and it will update "automatically"
Titles I make seem to always go to the Graphics Folder I have Open in the BIn.
"Create New Title Based on"
Rename it
Opens Title
Edit it ( obviously)
Use the Replace with or insert it where you want.
In FCP it worked like this:
1. Copy & Paste an old title.
2. Edit the title.
Surely you had to edit it too or could it read your mind.

MP4 video volume too soft at client end

Using 5.5 I have been creating a series of modules published in Mp4 format for a client.
I have had to change a copyright statement on the title screen of modules that were publioshed and signed off some time ago.
Now when I re-publish them the client tells me the volume is too soft and they need to have 100% setting on head set volume to hear it very softly.
I haven't changed any settings - the volume at this end remains good and the client can hear other audio sources just fine.
Any ideas?

No-one has been able to resolve this so far.
Since posting I have published various versions of a test project using MP3 and Wav audio, from a head set and a Yeti USB mic - direct into Captivate as well as recorded in Audacity and imported into Captivate (Version 5.5).
Thge quality of the recording obvioulsy varies but the volume is consistent to the settings.
I have imported it into Drop box - my usual method of delivery to the client and tested on a separate machine - all seems fine
However when I ask a colleague to check it out the volume is far too soft and even at full settings both within the MP4 player skin as well as on the compyter settigns it is only just sufficient.
Anyone any ideas ...please

Photoshop CC icons and text are too small: how to adjust so they're readable? [was: Joanne]

I have just downloaded Creative Cloud on a new computer. The new photoshop icons and text are too small for me to see or work with. I cannot seem to adjust this so its "useable"

Hey Bob,
Ive put feature requests for this in before and I know many others have as well. Is there any way to see if Adobe is actually working on this? I dont really consider this a feature request, it should be standard with the software. A feature request would be something like creative cloud libraries, not the ability to make font sizes and icons bigger.

HT1296 I recently purchased songs from my iphone. All good... But I then went to put them on my ipod touch. They seemed to have downloaded but the songs wont play and the song title/the text, appears in a grey colour.

I recently purchased songs from my iphone. All good... But I then went to put them on my ipod touch. They seemed to have downloaded but the songs wont play and the song title/the text, appears in a grey colour and there is a downlaod symbol in front of the song title. what do i do next?? They play on my iphone and from the itunes library but not from my ipod touch.

If the songs are still on your ipod, make sure autosync is disabled in iTunes on your computer, connect and right click on it in the device list, then choose "transfer purchases" to copy all bought media and apps from your ipod to your computer.
If the songs are not on your computer and got deleted from your ipod as well, you can't get them back, unless you have a backup of your iTunes library as part of your computer backup.

Report Title and Text Area issue when exported to pdf using Viewer

Hi there,
We are using OracleBI Discoverer Version 10.1.2.55.26
We have reports that displays Report title containing the following
- Report Title
- Runt Date and Time
- Page No
And text area which displays 'Last Page'
Following properties are set at the worksheet level using page setup
Report Title --> 'Print on every Page'
Text Area --> 'Print on last page'
The report when exported to PDF using Discoverer plus works fine and displays report title and text area as defeined.
But when we try to export the same report to pdf from Discoverer viewer, it displays
- Report title on first page only.
- text area on all pages
All our users accesses report using discoverer viewer so we cannot open discoverer plus to them.
Is there a solution which will enable us to export the report in pdf using discoverer viewer and displays the same output as discoverer plus.
Please let me know... If you have any questions then please feel free to ask.
Thanks in advance for your help...

but when opened on other os x machines some text is colored differently than it should be
Well, if typographic objects are colour managed, the colour appearance is dependent on the source ICC profile that describes the colourants in the typographic objects and the destination ICC profile that describes the colours the display is able to form and the RBC colourant combinations that will form those colours.
In general, typographic objects should have special treatment, since the expectation is not that typographic objects should be colour managed, but that typographic objects should simple be set to the maximum density of dark. On a display, that is R=0 G=0 B=0 and on a seperations device (a lithographic press) that is C=0 M=0 Y=0 K=100.
If for some reason typographic objects are colour managed, and if the ICC profiles for the displays are off by half a mile or more in relation to the actual state of the display system, then the colours will not be the same. On the other hand, if those displays are calibrated and characterized, then the colourants will be converted to form the same colours on the displays.

Boris title tool does disappearing act

Usually I use 2 monitors but one is in the shop. Now when I go to open Boris 3d title tool, the tool opens up off screen (I know this because when I use expose it comes back to my only monitor). There seems to be no way for me to get the 3d title tool to open in my one and only monitor.
I have done all of the usual stuff - trash FCP preferences, use disk utility, but no luck. Anyone run into this? Are there Boris preferences to trash?
Man, this really blows. All I had to do was alter 4 titles and I was done.
Oh, that's the way it goes.

Try rebooting with Command-Option-P-R held down. If that doesn't work, try Command-Option-O-F. When a gray screen with a prompt comes up, type:
reset-nvram (Return)
reset-all (Return)
Be sure you haven't left an adapter attached to the monitor port when doing this.

Size of text is too small for pdf when printed

When I finished filling in the pdf - the text is too small when I printed out the form.

How did you fill that form: using Adobe Reader?
When printing, did you check the Page Sizing & Handling options on the Print panel?
