  • Copy + Paste text with AE 7

    Posted by Realethan on March 1, 2006 at 5:05 pm

    I’m having problems pasting text from the clipboard using AE7. I copy text from Word or Notepad, create a new text layer and select it in my comp preview window with my text tool, and “Paste” is not available.

    Anyone else getting this?

    Have you tried writing some text with the text tool, selecting it, then hitting ctrl-V (cmd-V on Mac)?

    Anyone else running AE7 on Windows XP 64bit edition? If so, try the copy+paste thing and let me know if I’m suffering from “user error”…. wouldnt be the 1st time. 🙂

    In the interim, you could save the doc as a text file and try my new script:

    I’m not on 64, but I experience thei sporblem ecery pnce in a while. Both on AE 6.5 and 7. Shutting down and restarting the computer usually fixes this, so I’m not sure it’s an AE Pug Per Se so much as a windows Bug. not really sure.

    This morning I powered up and opened my project, copy+paste worked fine; for about 5 min. Then it broke again.

    very strange
