  • Rotating text makes template disappear

    Posted by Patrick Harper on March 3, 2011 at 4:25 pm

    Here’s a weird one – or am I just going insane…

    I have a sequence with the following:

    V4) Text
    V3) Graphic with alpha
    V2) Motion template
    V1) Video clip

    When I attempt to rotate the text on V4, so that it sits neatly on the graphic on V3, the template on V2 disappears or in effect turns black. V1 is unaffected.

    Any thoughts?

    Hi Dave,

    This is the endboard of a promo which is one of many – all with small variations of text info within the template. Originally the additional graphic and text (on V3+4) weren’t needed and so weren’t included on the Motion template.

    As I understand it, if I open the template in Motion, add the graphic and text and save then other projects which refer to that template will change as well which I don’t want.

    Yep, I ended up doing just that but unfortunately it meant I still had to go through the remaining versions and switch over to the new version.
    Maybe a weird bug?

    Anyway, thanks for your time and help.
