What happened to Basic Text ?

About a year ago I put together a long sequence of dissolving titles in CS3 using Effect > Text > Basic Text. I just opened that project in CS4 hoping to use it as a template for a new sequence - but found that the Basic Text option had disappeared, and that although I can see the words from last year, the CS4 Type Tool can't get hold of them. What happened ? Is my CS3 sequence a bit map ?

By the way, basic text is in the obsolete folder, so you may want to learn the standard text tools as i guess it will disapear in some upcoming versions.
They are much much more powerfull

  • What happened to the "Text Edits Tool" in Acrobat X?

    I know the answer is "it went away" but, seriously, please bring it back. In Acrobat 9, when you activated the "Text Edits Tool," it would automatically switch between insert, delete, and replace text in a context-sensitive way. You just had an active tool cursor - if you highlighted text and started typing, it would "replace" the text. If you clicked in one spot and started typing, it would "insert" text. If you highlighted text and clicked the Delete key, it would "delete" text. All this with one tool, that stayed active the entire time you were using it.
    Now, in Acrobat X, you have 3 different tools. You have to click to select the tool - mark the change. Click to select the next tool and mark that change. And on and on. And while you can right-click on any single tool and select "Keep tool selected" - there's no way to make that the default behavior. And that doesn't help when switching back and forth between activities.
    I know that the Selection Tool can now almost serve as the old "Text Edits Tool" - this works quickly with delete, but requires the tilde shortcut for insert or replace. Basically one extra step for each edit than there was with the Text Edits Tool.
    One might think that that little extra click isn't a big deal - but when you are marking up a PDF all day, every day, it adds up.

    I assume you're talking about commenting and markup rather than editing the text of the document itself.
    The keyboard shortcuts are  designed to do exactly what you want. With the multi-select tool active (I beam + black arrow on the toolbar):
    Select some text and press the Insert key - a new Replace text annotation is created and the note panel opened for typing. Press Esc to close the note
    Click to place the cursor within some text and press the Insert key - a new Insert text annotation is created and the note panel opened.
    Select some text and press the Delete key - a strikeout annotation is created (no note this time but you can add one by double-clicking)
    The idea of selecting something and 'just typing' to activate a markup event could not be retained as it interfered with the single-key accelerator mode.

  • What happened to my text?!

    This is a problem I've been seeing ever since the first day I turned on my new iMac, but it's never given me enough trouble to bother asking about it until today.
    http://img511.imageshack.us/img511/9937/mactext2gj8.png
    Before today, it would just drop the "I's" or "G's" in a paragraph, and a simple restart of the application would fix it. However, as you can see in the image above, it's gotten pretty bad.
    I'm tired of putting a temporary stop to the problem by just restarting the application or my system. I want to know what's going on, why it's happening and how to stop it.
    This is unbelievably annoying. So far, it's happened in Firefox, Safari, Camino and iChat. I'm at my wits end here, and I don't know what to do.
    Help!

    HI Video,
    I've never seen that before. Considering your iMac is new (less then a year from purchase), take it in for service. That's unacceptable.

  • What happens to scrolling text?

    Hi there
    It seems that scrolling text is turned to aliased bitmap or otherwise altered as it looks very different from the rest of the text even though it's the same font, size ,etc.
    Any idea?
    thanks very much!
    Steve

    There are lots of things this could be, we'll need more information to figure it out.
    What folio and article version are you creating?
    What viewer version are you using to look at it?
    Are you using DPS directly or are you a Woodwing customer?
    Was the article format set to PDF?
    Was the overlay set to raster or vector?

  • What happened to Basic 3D?

    Just upgraded to Motion 3.0 and I'm having trouble with older projects using the Basic 3D filter from Motion 2.
    Although I can't find the filter in the library anymore, it does show in upgraded older project. The problem : the objects (titles) the filter is applied to now appear blurry... and it has nothing to do with the render settings in FCP, it shows in Motion directly aswell.
    Is this a knwon issue? Is there a workaround?

    OK, finally found what was wrong... Interesting...
    In their final position, the titles were scaled up over 100%... OK but in Motion 2 they were still sharp enough for what I needed.
    Seems like the interaction between the Basic 3D filter in Motion 3 (not available in the library but still present in older projects that used it) and overscaling made the titles a lot more blurry than they used to be in Motion 2.

  • What happens to deleted text messages?

    Can you retreive a deleted text message?

    Well, I did a backup of my iPhone 4s the day before upgrading to a 5s.  Although all my other stuff ended up being moved to the 5s, it has no messages other than ones that have come in since the upgrade.  On the 4s, which has not been wiped yet, the messages still exist.  Any way to get them added to the 5s?

  • What happens to lost texts while rebooting?

    I rebooted my phone and when it came back on it came up with a text message that said "message not found"
    It makes me hate rebooting my phone because I don't like missing a message and risking that someone thinks I'm ignoring them  :-(

    If it is passcode protected then hopefully your data won't be compromised. If you had Find my Phone installed and activated via your Mobile Me account, then you can arrange for the iPad to reset when turned on erasing all content.
    There is no "blacklist." Hopefully,  you reported the theft to the Manhattan police and provided the serial number.

    2. Restore to a backup.
    3. Backup, Restore in iTunes and setup as new.

  • TS4036 I have backed up my phone to icloud, photos, music, contacts, but now most of my contacts don't show up on my actual phone, and all I have on the text is a phone number instead of the person's name. What happened?

    I am new to the icloud, and I have a question. I have backed my phone up to icloud, with photos, music, contacts, etc. but now most of my contacts have disappeared on my actual phone, and when someone sends me a text, just a phone number shows up instead of their names. What happened? How do I get all of my contacts back on my phone?

  • I created a 5x7 postcard document in Word with text boxes and graphics.  When I converted it to PDF, some of the items were missing, even though they were in the boundaries of the page and looked fine on the Word document.  What happened, and how do I fix

    I created a 5x7 postcard document in Word with text boxes and graphics.  When I converted it to PDF, some of the items were missing, even though they were in the boundaries of the page and looked fine on the Word document.  What happened, and how do I fix it?  I'm trying to upload the PDF version to Vistaprint.  Thanks.

    Reader doesn’t create pdf files. You can use Acrobat (ask in that forum) to create pdfs. You can subscribe to the Adobe PDF Pack which has a create pdf functionality (please ask in that forum), or you can use a third party utility such as ghostscript, cutepdf, or Microsoft’s own PDF creation capability. For third party pdf creation you will need to ask in a forum dedicated to that software as fellow users of Reader are unlikely to have the knowledge to help.

  • With the new iOS 7 update, does anyone know what the setting "Bold Text" will do? If you click on this, it says it will restart your iPhone. Before I do this, I'm just wanting to be sure I know what's going to happen.

    With the new iOS 7 update. Does anyone know what the setting "Bold Text" means or will do? Obviously I do know what Bold Text is. It says if you click on this, it says it will restart your iPhone. Before I do this, I'm just wanting to be sure I know what's going to happen.
    Thanks,

    It just reboots the device and bolds the system fonts.  No harm done.  If you don't like it, undo the setting, it will reboot and back to as it was.

  • HT3529 When texting with other iphone users, the text used to be in a blue bubble. Now it's green. What happened? Am I being charged for these text messages now? I'm with Verizon if that matters.

    When texting with other iphone users, the text used to be in a blue bubble. Now it's green. What happened? Am I being charged for these text messages now? I'm with Verizon if that matters.

    Thanks for the help, Allan Sampson.
    I updated itunes, shut the phone off and on, it still didn't give me blue bubbles. Kept following the suggestions on the page ...  I didn't know there was an IMessaging switch, but, shoot, it was OFF. Anyway, I toggled it on and now the text bubbles are blue again.

  • What happened to command control D over text?

    In Snow Leopard and Lion, you could hold down command control D over text (try it in TextEdit or Safari) and the definition for the word would pop up.
    What happened to this?  Why is it gone?  How can this be restored?
    Anyone?
    It is so bothersome when functionality you've been using for years mysteriously goes away.

    Alex Zavatone wrote:
    OMG.  Now it does it on the release of the keys.  Previously, you had to wait for it to display.
    I'm still on Lion and the definition doesn't appear until you release the keys. I tested it in Safari and TextEdit. I think your mind is playing tricks on you!

  • Problems running basic text in aftereffects faster than 19fps... what exactly do I need?

    OK, so I finaly upgraded my computer into the mild 21st century, and to my disapointment, I cannot seem to run anything as smoothly as I had thought.
    These are the specs for my computer...
    ASUS m5a99x EVO motherboard
    8 gigs ddr3 1600 ram
    NVIDIA 9800gt 1 gig ddr3 gpu
    AMD Phenom II x4 B50 Processor at 3.2ghz (IE its an AMD athlon II 450 X3 3.2ghz with its fourth core unlocked (of which i have had no problems with thus far, as it seems to be very stable)
    150 gig 7200 sata 2 harddrive (OLD)
    200 gig 5400 sata 2 hard drive (OLD AS SH*T)
    300ghz portable usb2 hd (7200) (2 years old)
    Basicly, I cant seem to run even basic text in after effects faster than 19 FPS.
    I've tried to change the resolution to half, and even a fourth, and that didnt work at all, infact it made it run about 1 frame worse.
    I tried changing the Open gl texture memory, raising and lowering, but to no avail, Ive changed the ram usage in after effects to use 2 gigs per core, then one gig, then turned off multiframe rendering alltogether, and nothing.
    I feel like ive tried everything in my power.
    Now the Imacs at my school, they run the program smooth as hell... and they arent that much better, spec wise than my computer.
    Even my friends Imac can run it smooth, and he only has an I5 cpu at 2.4ghz, which is fine and my understanding of cpus is that those are better proccessors, but its not that much better, and even still, why would that be neccesary just to run text scrolling accross the screen?
    Even more so, why would changing the resolution not have any effect?
    What exactly do I need to run after effects smoothly for a basic text scroll at say, 720P?
    I need to know what to upgrade, soon I plan to get cs6 and I would like to have a computer that can edit basic HD properly.
    What I realy dont get is that I know people with laptops that are running AE smoothly and these are much worse than the specs on my machine, some even with only 4 gigs of ram...
    Is there something wrong, do I have some sort of frame limiter thats capping at 19 fps? is there some sort of memory leak?
    Any help would be much apreciated.
    Now the only thing I can think of thats holding me back is the crappy hard drives, every thing else seems like it should at least run text on after effects at 30 fps.

    thanks, that at least is enough to get me started, lol I have a deadline tomorrow and have been burning a lot of time on just trying to get this to run smooth.
    BTW, I am running the project off of the portable, I switched from the old, but faster harddrive that was sata2 to the portable given I thought that might increase the speed, which it didnt.
    what I might do is crack the case and just plug it straight into the computer, though I am hesitant to do so as if I were going to do that, I might as well just purchase a usb 3.0 one and do that so i can get sata 3 out of it, since those cases dont exactly just snap back together.
    When I say basic text, I mean layered text, just word after word in order. I honestly dont have any plugins that I know of, (if I had the money for them I would have spent it on a better computer probably) so what I have is what came with the master collection.
    And when I say 19 FPS I mean spacebar...
    NOW I KNOW, that Im not garunteed 30 fps when running the preview, but when I use the mac, it previews fine... and i just looked up my CPU in comparison to the I5 in the IMAC that I was refering to, and mine is actualy faster according to some benchmarks, granted its not faster than the vast majority of I5s and I7s, but the particular ones in the computers I was refering to, mine is actualy faster over all, so I figure its not a CPU thing (unless its a -our software only works right on INTEL- thing).
    Now as far as the 3d camera, yes I am using it, but even when I run the text without a camera function (ie the thing that you have in your comp) or any sort of 3d layering it runs just as slow.
    The Audio might be a problem, I used to have a soundcard, but that died about a year ago so I have been using onboard sound (realtek HD something) which truly sucks in comparison to a proper sound card, but I cant imagine the IMACs have anything better, I mean the sound from the Imac kinda sucks alltogether, dosent even have any sort of virtual surround... But a driver issue it could be, realtek is kind of ghetto in that regard.
    I will try some of the tips above (the open gl and the preview output and such), and thank you very much.
    *EDIT*
    OK, so with the preview output, I have computer monitor only? is that what you ment?
    *EDIT*
    OK, so I did the OpenGL thing, removed it, and for a brief few secconds, it started to run at a mix of 25 to 30 fps, then, when I went to play it again, it was back at 19.
