  • title 3D problem

    Posted by Pol on July 15, 2005 at 1:21 pm

    I have 50 different titles I made with title3D. I made the first title, positioned it -NOT with the motion tab but in the control tab- and re-used that title for the other 49 titles (with a different text). The titles are on the top right corner. Now the problem…when I re-type a title that’s longer or shorter than the original title, the position of that title isn’t the same anymore. It centers from the middle, so that a title that is shorter in text moves away from the edge of the frame.
    It’s killing me….now I have to reposition every title manually again with the chance of making mistakes.
    Is there a way so that longer or shorter text allign from left and NOT from the middle.

    There has to be…

    At this stage you have to do each by hand, but you can use right alignment so that they end on the right title safe area.

    In Title3D (Boris), you can right align your text. But since you have all 50 already made, you may be better off just adjusting your position in the controls tab. TC

    How do you right align in title3D? I don’t mean right align your text, but right align on the frame, on the safe title border.
    Thank you

    You need to turn on text wrap. That will align things to the title safe area. I just tested what you’re doing and it works.

    Problem is you’ve given them all a different location now, and you can’t copy and paste that location so you’re stuck on this one.

    In the future, create one graphic, word wrap on, aligned right. Then you can adjust the vertical position with the y control in the title 3D control tab.

    Keep changing the text and you’ll always be in the same place. Unless you change the number of lines in your text.
