Titles Far Far Away Text Color

I cannot flush the yellow text color from the Title selection Far Far Away. Can anyone tell me how to do this? All other Titles in iLife 06 work fine.

I have not had the problem you describe. I take it that you have tried changing the font color by using the font color box in the Far Far Away title pane, but without success.
For the heck of it, try closing iMovie and trashing the FontCollections file (NOT the Font Book)located in User/Library. Then launch iMovie and see if the title works.
If that doesn't work, check to see if you have any duplicate fonts, and delete (resolve) them. To do this, open the Font Book file on your Mac hard drive, and see if there are any fonts that have a black dot next to them. Those are duplicate fonts. Get rid of them by selecting each font and going to the Edit menu and clicking on Resolve Duplicates. Now see if the title works.
If that doesn't work, close iMovie and trash the file com.apple.imovie.plist located in User/Library/Preferences. Then do a permissions repair using the Utilities/Disk Utility application on your Mac.
Now see if it works.
If that doesn't work, check to see if you have any QT plug-ins or other 3rd party plug-ins that might be interfering, and remove those to a different folder.
If that doesn't work, the only other suggestion I have is to try opening your iMovie project in a new or different user account, and see if that makes any difference.
Good luck with this. Post back with your results, good or bad, as they might help someone else with your problem.

The "Far Far Away" title is displaying a white box rather than the entered text. Is there any way to restore the title code so that it works properly?

The "Far Far Away" title (which I have used quite frequently) has stoped working and just displays a white box where the text should be displayed.
Has anyone else experienced this problem or have a suggestion as to a resolution. This is in IMovie '11 Version 9.0.8.

Thanks for the reply Russ.
Yes, I've considered adding titles and/or generators in the FCPX storyline, but this creates a need to render the entire timeline. As I'm juggling library locations and hard drive spaces I just didn't want to add a new render that will occupy a lot of space. It's also a bit of visual clultter for me, so my goal is to find the best workflow for adding this stuff on or after export.

IMovie 13 how do I change the speed of the Far Far Away title scrolling?

How do I change the scrolling speed of the Far Far Away wording?
Thanks in advance!!

Thanks. I did try this and it slowed the scroll down. There is still a residual problem which is there is a certain amount of blank screen at the end. I thought slowing the scroll would fill this dead spot. By lengthening the duration of the title, the scroll is now slower, but the black screen has also lengthened.The current dead time is now the final 6 seconds of a 25 second title. Any help on cutting out the dead scrren time. If this were a straight video clip I would simply trim it away. Any way to get the scrolling text to fill more than 80% of the title duration?

Title "Far Far away" scrolls too fast regardless of its duration settings

In iMovie 10, when I place the far far away title on top of an image that is displayed let's say 18 seconds. Than my text scrolls in the first 6 seconds, even though I configured the far far away title lenght to 18s. How do I solve the speed of scrolling?
Thanks in advance

Using Far Far away title, cannot align edges

I am trying to make a nice far far away star wars type title which should look neat and aligned I am trying to create a fairly long title in imovie HD 6 and use the "far far away" title.
I can't get the edges to line up , It looks fine in the window whrere you type but after rendering it looks awful, all out of alignment. I have tried different font sizes, all with the same result! I am using a common font Ariel.
Anyone know how to fix this ?Please help much appreciated!!
Cheers!

Hi
Don't know BUT
are You aware of that space can be used in two ways ?
• Normal - in end of line it accepts a cut BUT
• [alt+Space] makes most program handle it as a letter eg 20° C will not be cut but
moves over to next line as a whole.
I use alt+Space to force the text to align and so on.

Far Far Away Movie Title

I built an imovie with the Far Far Away title page with star background, but the wording that scrolls through the 20 second title is way too fast...hard to read that quickly. Anyone know how to put the brakes on so others can read the narrative that scrolls?

Welcome Remax Godfather to the  iMovie boards ..
if you want the title slower, just +grab 'n drag+ the blue title-'bar' in your Project window to any wanted length.
if you want 'brakes' in your text, add 'returns' in your copy ...

Editing the "Far Far away" title in iMovie

I was wondering is there any way to slow down the word in the "Far Far Away" title with out changing the time of the whole title?

the 'speed' is determined by 'amount-of-text x length':
lots of words x 3 secs length = speeeedy
few words x 44 secs length = sloooooow

FAR and AWAY going into bogie nights title - and speed

I am making an intro to a video I am making for my wife's 40th birthday. In video I am starting with scrolling titles either far and away or the other one at scrolls.
I want to have running copy on the screen that moves slow enough for people to read it then the last word will be. This is the story about....
As soon as the ... is in the middle of the screen I want it to switch to the Boogie night title with my wife's name.
What is happening is that the... fade off the screen and there is a big pause between the... and the boogie nights with my wife's name. How do I make this work smoothly and quick?

The last item being this? ~> This is a story about.... (after the sroll title?)
Without going into iMovie and trying to replicate your issue, what about just working w/ the Scroll Title ONLY in a project. Get it the way you want it. Export it. Re import it into new Project and then add the Boogie Night Title and trim it to your liking. Would that work? What do you mean by POP? Just a static title?

IMovie HD 6 Editing with "far, far away" title

Is there any way to slow down the speed of the copy moving up the screen when using the "far, far away" title? The slowest I can get it to go is a 1 minute duration and that is too fast for my purposes.

I also like the mock Star Wars rolling credits, but find the version in iMovie 6 inadequate.
I therefore use an application called (surprise!) 'Rolling Credits' from:
http://www.rqs.ca/
which works a treat, but now costs $19.95!

Imovie 9 "far far away "video artifacts on render

Trying to a 30 second clip in iMovie 9.0.9 using the Stars background and "far far away" text fx. I can add the text no problem but when it renders, I am getting a whole bunch of video artifacts. After I render, the same artifacts show up in iMovie in the preview pane. They never actually show uo until I render. Any thoughts? This is on a macbook air (original) but I have tried it on different systems with the same result. The text is short phases (for grade 1) all center justified. Looks like a bug in the far far away script.

Alternating text color of excel cell items after each space?

Hello. I have a script that emails a table of info which works fine and that looks like this:
name, samaccountname, date, memberof
In the email table I was able to have it do a line break on each space so that the memberof groups are on on separate lines for easier reading.
Well I've been wanting to send the data to store in a csv sheet as well. I can get it going in there but for the member of column it puts in memberof1 memberof2 memberof3 etc etc on one line. The CNs OUs etc are all removed and its just the group
names separated by spaces. Works but a little hard to read.
I was thinking maybe there was a way to open the excel file for writing and on that one column have it alternate text colors using the space as the delimiter? Everything would be easier to read that way. Is this possible ?
Thanks

Thanks. I did look at that and have this so far. Im just trying to echo it out right now, but Im guessing that somehow in the foreach ($item in $groups) I need to create an array or something? Then Id want to apply one color to each item in the array.
Ive tried several different combinations and was trying $item.spli(" ") but it always comes back looking the same.
So right now $item echos like this
Group1 Group2 Group3 Group4 Group5
Id just want to alternate each space delimited item one of two colors. Then take those appened colors of each item and write it back to the cell that I read it from in the column so that its easier to read. Is this even possible?
$objExcel = new-object -comobject excel.application
$objExcel.Visible = $True
$ExcelFilesLocation = "c:\"
$UserWorkBook = $objExcel.Workbooks.Open($ExcelFilesLocation + "groups.csv")
$UserWorksheet = $UserWorkBook.Worksheets.Item(1)
$intRow = 2
Do {
# Reading the first column of the current row
$groups = $UserWorksheet.Cells.Item($intRow, 4).Value()
foreach ($item in $groups)
$regex = [regex] "\s"
$split = $regex.split($item)
Write-Host $split
# Move to next row
$intRow++
While ($UserWorksheet.Cells.Item($intRow,1).Value() -ne $null)

Possible to change review text color and wording

I've searched high and wide to try changing the text color for the review mode field "CORRECT ANSWERS" that shows on a fill in the blank/ short answer question. Ideally I'd like white text (it's set at black) and I'd like to have it say "Correct answer(s)" or even somethinge else. I don't like the all caps that's used either.
I've looked at the Object Style Manager but I don't see this particular field available/editable. Has anyone found where in the c:\Program Files\Adobe... files this setting is controlled - a .dll, .xml, .txt? I don't mind changing it to white there if I have to.

Hi, thanks. Cap 7. I whipped up that course from scratch, no particular theme applied. Also to answer your question, I looked at the master slide and that particular review mode field isn't present, just the initial objects like the text input field.It's frustrating how everything but the CORRECT ANSWERS label is editable via the Object Style Manager. Why they forgot to include it is beyond me. I'm left at using "Hack a Cap" methodology by looking at all the .dll, txt. xml files hoping to fix it there because as far as I know you can't just turn the CORRECT ANSWERS field off even if you wanted to. Unfortunately almost all of our screenshots in our courses will have a royal blue background.

Change Text Color Dynamically Depending on Which MP3 File is Playing

Change Text Color Dynamically Depending on Which MP3 File is
Playing
Hi,
Can anyone help with this problem.
I am trying to change a text cast member's color dynamically
based on which audio file is currently playing.
I have 4 Text Cast member buttons named
Play Song 1
Play Song 2
Play Song 3
Play Song 4
I am successfully playing the 4 songs in a queue like this
(ie. If "Play Song 1" sprite text member is pressed then...
sound(1).queue(member "Song1")
sound(1).queue(member "Song2")
sound(1).queue(member "Song3")
sound(1).queue(member "Song4")
sound(1).play
What I would like to do is to have the currently playing song
text color changed to a different value, say Green.
So if "Song2" in the queue starts to play then the text "Play
Song 2" would become Green. When done it would then turn back to
black then "Song3" starts to play and "Play Song 3" text script
button would then turn from black to Green an so on.
These are the codes I've tried in the frame script and none
seem to work...
on enterFrame me
if sound(1).status = 3 then member("Play Song 1").foreColor=5
(This works but only for the first song because "Play Song 1"
is directly named and clicked on.)
else member("Play Song 1").foreColor=255
end if
I have tried to make a reference to the playing song and so
far each of these doesn't work...
--if sound(1).status = 3 then
sprite(me.sound.member).foreColor=5
--if sound(1).status = 3 then
sprite(me.spriteNum).member.color=rgb(0,255,0)
--if sound(1).status = 3 then member
(sound(1).member).foreColor=5
--text = member(whichMember).scriptText
end
Is there any way to reference the song name text cast
member??
I thought I had it when I discovered sound(1).member but
sound(1).showProps returns the playing sound.member as
member: (member 28 of castLib 1) nothing there I can use?
It doesn't show the member name and
It doesn't show the song name "Song1" which I could then
match up to the "Play Song 1" text
I'm pretty new to lingo so specific code examples would be
appreciated.
Can anyone help??? Thanks!!!

did you get anywhere with this?
When applying a styleClass to a af:showDetailItem, it doesnt seem to have any effect whatsoever.

Linux: The tabs text color changes with the theme, while the menu text color is always black.

Hello,
When Firefox theme is changed, it usually changes window appearance, e. g. backgrounds, and sets corresponding text color to contrast with that background. It always used to be like this. For instance, I currently use Sunflower_01 theme which sets blue sky as a background. The tabs text is white, as well as the bookmarks. The white text contrasts very fine with the sky. But the menu items are awfully black, casting dark-gray shadows on the dark-blue sky. The menu remains black regardless of the theme I set.
Of course, it's all fine without any add-ons (light background, dark text), but with a theme enabled, it looks not the way it used to be. I wonder if it can be fixed somehow.
I use Mozilla Firefox 33.0 for Linux Mint (release 13, maya).
Looking forward to your reply.
Regards,
Andrey

Hello,
Did you install from the repositories? I have found the same problem with Ubuntu 14.04, a workaround is to either use a userChrome.css file, or (in my opinion, the easier route) [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/stylish/ Stylish] extension with a new Style.
See these articles about the userChrome.css file:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/index.php?title=UserChrome.css
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/UserChrome.css_Element_Names/IDs
If you use the userChrome.css route, you may need to restart Firefox to apply the changes.
See this article for Stylish:
* http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=1570945
To add a new style in Stylish, click on the Stylish tool on your toolbar, then "Write New Style", then "Blank style". Or:
* Tools (or [[Image: New Fx Menu]]) > Add-ons > User Styles > Write New Style
Example code for either one method you choose (you can play around with the colours, but I found this worked nicely for my theme):
@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul");
/*change size, color, style of text in Menu Bar */
menubar > menu
{color: darkgray !important}
/* Mouse hovering over menu */
menubar > menu[_moz-menuactive="true"]
{color: white !important;}
/* Active/Open menus */
menubar > menu[_moz-menuactive="true"][open="true"]
{color: black !important;}

Slider with Synth - Problems setting tick and text color

Hi,
I'm currently using Synth and I'm having some problems with sliders. The sliders appear and work fine, although I can't seem to change the color of the ticks and text.
I would like the ticks and text to be orange, but it seems to default to black. I tried changing this in the Slider section of my Synth file (see below) but with no luck.
Would anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance for your help.
