Hello,

I seem to have a problem with the text viewer / editor.

Please see my screenshot attached.

The red arrows mark my starting and ending effect. The speed and timing of these is what I want.

But after the starting effect, there is a long stretch where the static text is displayed. Moving the sliders around a bit, only makes one of the effects slow down, to fill the 10 second time-frame - which seems to be default and something that I can't change.

Your input will really be appreciated.

Thank you.

Renier

Hello,
Sorry to be a pain, but I was hoping for some advice please.
My learning curve has pretty much come to a standstill.

Thank you

What is it that you want the Title Designer - the text .. what do you want it to do? or not do?

If you want the starting text 'effect' to be immediately followed by the ending 'effect' (it's actually call a motion here in Title Designer) - then drag the starting effect slider and ending slider toward each other. If the overall image or clip length is to long then... go into that clip/image and shorten it's duration (out in the timeline back in the editing room).

(if this paragraph is ANYTHING like what you want - great - but maybe you could share with us a bit more as far as what you are trying to achieve)

Hi everyone,

Thank you CS, I used your guide and some other bits and pieces on the net to figure it out. I saw some people changing scripts and stuff that I have no idea of.Anyways - if anyone else wanted to know, I bassically moved the sliders of the next to each other. This makes the two parts of the motion (in and out) the same duration. Putting that on the timeline then, allowed me to shorten the duration, but keeping the two motions relative to each other in terms of time.

Laymen terms, and probably common knowleded, but I got stuck a bit there.

There's probably more than one way to 'skin this cat'... just an expression folks don't go ballistic... lol!

By your attached picture, looks lie you understand how to address this - nice job.

If you are satisfied, could you please consider going back into your first post in this thread... and editing the subject line to include something like 'SOLVED - Power DVD' (and keep the rest of the original title too)?

Will tell future people searching for answers to similar issues.

Thanks

CS

p.s. And consider next time - this thread should have probably been in the Power Director (previous versions) heading instead of the Power DVD 'room'.
