Changing Text
I am trying to change some text in Boris and have the changes apply globally to all of my sequences. I seem to only be able to change one at a time. I’ve tried opening the text page by right clicking from the timeline and also by dragging it from the bin. Both will change, but not for all sequences.
Thanks

It has to do with how you put the files in various sequences. If you nest a text file, then edit from the actual nested sequence by dragging it from the browser or Viewer to the same or new sequence it will be linked to the original, and all changes done to the original will ripple throughout. However, if you copy the nested clip from one sequence to itself, or to another sequence, it loses this affiliation.

You need to be more specific Bob.What do you need to change. If it is positional then you can use the motion tab to make those changes and then paste attributes to all the other clips.
That can be done to a nest as well. If it is the text inside Boris, then I suspect it will be a clip by clip exercise. I have read of XML based editing of text attributes like size and font but I am not sure if that works with Boris content.
Try a search of this forum as I am sure this has been dealt with before.

Trying to replace some characters in one sequence and have it apply to multiple sequences. I’m going to give nesting a try. My thanks to both of you.
