    Posted by Fabiano Peres on July 6, 2006 at 11:21 am

    Hi there,

    When I click on a specific place on my monitor window to type some text, the anchor point always starts on a diferent place, sometimes even offscreen.
    Then I correct it and it’s ok, but now I’m trying to use the Write-on effect and I have the same error, and on this one it doesn’t work if I correct it’s inicial position, the rest of them are still wrong, even if I select all of keyframes…
    What do I do?

    Thanks for the attention.

    It sounds like you’re working in 3D space. If so, try switching to the front camera, type your text, then switch to the regular camera for more positioning.

    Let us know …

    No, it’s not the 3D space, there is nothing 3D on my comp. I start a new comp click the text tool and click on the monitor window, and it’s always bad positioned…

    HELP ME PLEASE.

    OK, let me try to explain…

    The problem is not with the write-on efect, the problem is that when I paste the mask keyframes into write-on’s position property, they are never at the place they should be. They are on a different location of the screen, as a ghost on a bad TV image… I have already tried to select all of them and reposition, but it doesn’t work, I have to reposition them one by one.

    Thanks for the attention
