Text Placement Template

[Larry Asbell]

Hi Martin,

I think if you set the margins (in the second tab) to define you text area that may do it for you.

Just saw the thread by chance.

Why not make a Motion template for that. Motion’s text box behavior is to write from the top to the bottom of the text area. So it would be a constant ‘Y behavior’ – both set by the box position and way of writing text inside.

You may also try my TextUp generators – though they won’t give you control for the kerning by character or special style control per letter or word.

Hey Larry,

How are things in DC?

Sorry, I didn’t see your response until this morning. I’ve just tried messing with the margins in that second tab and I can’t see that anything has happened to the text in any way. Within the Boris Title 3D window, adjusting the left margin does push the text right, but once I leave this window the text hasn’t moved in the Viewer or Canvas. Shrinking the page width to have the default does push the text to the middle of the screen, but not to the right.

Hmmm,

Martin
