  • Titles bug?

    Posted by Ray Wang on August 19, 2011 at 10:17 am

    Steps followed:

    1) Put clip on primary storyline (640×480 30p)
    2) Added “Torn Edge” title
    3) Typed text for both text lines
    4) Render All

    After rendering, I am unable to change the text. The text box even disappears from the inspector. This does not happen with other text / lower thirds.

    Does anyone have the same issue?

    Also I have found the UI to be quite jerky when adding / editing text / lower thirds. It would take 1 – 2 seconds to click into text or move the text box around.

    I am running this on 2010 MBP with 8Gb ram/512Gb SSD

    Torn Edges doesn’t have a text box at the top of its text window because you can only have the two lines of text. There is no need for a box for multiple lines of text. After rendering I can change the text in the Viewer without problem. I’m not having a problem with it.

    All the best,

    Something may be wrong with my project. I deleted and recreated the title but same issue of not being able to re-edit the text after rendering. Also from time to time I find texts un-rendered.

    In my short 40 seconds storyline, I have about 10 custom texts, 5 shapes (custom motion template). Nothing complicated but as I edit / re-edit, I nothing some strange things. I will try to delete the render cache and see what happens.

    I have a typewriter text with English and Japanese characters. Re-editing the text makes the last character (Japanese) pop up first followed by English text (left to right). Hmm..

    Update: after deleting the rendered files and re-render, the bug went away.
