Hi Dave,

Sorry for taking so long. I imported a shorter clip and applied the animation. When I exported that as Quicktime, the clip still played all jerky and with out-of-sync sound. I don’t understand the electronics behind things like this, but thanks to you I went ahead and imported it into Final Cut without the sound track and pasted it on top of the existing footage. It played perfectly in FC and when I exported the whole project to Quicktime. Thanks!

I’m pretty sure it’s CS6, OSX, and ProRes422.

Is .MOV a codec?

Thank you for your attention to my problem. I actually feel very foolish. I was trying to compose with shift-control-C. It’s working with now with shift-command-C.

Again, my thanks,
Pat

It might have been, but as far as I could tell, all the settings were the same as those of the last time the text worked (I checked).

I have been changing (fiddling with) settings trying to figure this out, and now it’s doing something completely different:

When I try to use the text tool, a layer shows up called “Text 1,” but nothing appears in the composition panel. When I click on “Text 1,” that label is replaced by the letters I typed, and the composition panel shows a small red box with a cross on top of it.

In the character control panel there is a red line through the fill or stroke icon depending on which is on top. (There is also a red line through the little “no stroke color/no fill color” box.)

Is there a way to simply reset all the character panel settings to default?

Thank you so much for the link. That is the kind of basic information I have been searching for. Most articles and tutorials I’ve found have been on how to do fabulous things with text, and I need a much more basic understanding.

Again, thank you very much,
Pat

I am trying to precompose 3 layers:

The top layer is a Text layer.
Under that is an Adjustment layer.
Beneath that is another Text layer.

(I have failed once–700 times.)
