Question about text transitions
Posted by Kaleb Krimmel on November 23, 2012 at 11:39 pmI’m making a video with text. I don’t want my text to pop up and pop out because that looks unprofessional, but whenever I use a transition, instead of it being used on the text, it does for the entire video. In this case I used ‘Fade to Black’ and by entire video blacks out for a second.

November 24, 2012 at 5:33 amYou need to have the Text Event on a separate Track above the Video and use the Fade Offset controls at each end of the Text Event. The result will be your Text Fading UP and as you reach the end of the Text Event it will fade DOWN.
Is that what you want?
From what you’ve described It sounds like you have the Text Event on the same Track as your Video and have used a Fade to Black Transition at each end of the Text Event.
Lets see a screengrab of what you’ve got.

Kaleb, in principle that should work.
1/- I can’t see your Cursor on the example you’ve posted. Where’s the Timeline Cursor?
2/- I can’t see what you have to the Left or Right of what is a very small Screen-shot sample.
3/- I’d want to see a screen-shot of the sample showing the media clearly.
4/- What Text Event Generator are you using?
5/- What Format is the Video Media?
However, in principle that should work.
Interesting . . . .

November 24, 2012 at 4:01 pmI think it’s just the ‘fade to black’, all my other transitions work fine. I guess I can’t use ‘fade to black’…..

November 24, 2012 at 4:36 pmIf you just want the text to dissolve onto the screen, add a crossfade (i.e., fade in and fade out) at the beginning and end by pulling the Fade Offset in the upper corners.
