Write-on effect problem
Hello
I’m experiencing the following problem with the write-on effect in Premiere Pro (CS4): when I try to draw a line following an image I have applied this effect to (as explained by Jeff Schell’s in the tutorial ‘Using the Write-On Effect to Create Handwritten Text in Premiere Pro CS3’), the line itself doesn’t match the position of the anchor point (see image)
I can assure I have followed the line closely so I can’t really figure out what’s going on.. I’ve also noticed that when I drop the effect on my image the automatic brush position is not as explained in the tutorial (ie 360 x 240) but 418.5 x 196 – I don’t know if this matters??
If you would have any idea it would be much appreciated!
Thanks & best regards,
P.S. I have tried to email directly Jeff Schell a couple of times about this but haven’t received any replies, so I thought you might be able to help

I am going to guess here that the tutorial you watched was using a clip that had 720×480 dimensions and yours is more like 837×392 which when divided in half either side you get the figures you see.
You could be seeing a problem with the clip being of an unconventional size and the effect attempting to apply itself to fit the sequence dimensions.
I’m not sure with PPro use of the effect, I use the After Effects version for any write on effects as there is much more control and the use of bezier masks…
