Thanks all for your suggestions - leading spaces are what I went for, of course, but that didn't work 😒 and workarounds like adding new titles would work, and might be worth considering if I was working on a Hollywood Blockbuster, but this is a 2-minute Facebook promo video, so I'll think of something else!

You can easily do that, just like in Word. Simply select the individual characters you want to change and set their properties any way you want. Font, text size, color, formatting, etc. as shown here:
Sure... but here's what I'm trying to do (see attached, sorry, can't figure out how to insert a graphic!) - the middle line of text 'A World of Dance Music Productions, is not aligned properly with the other two lines of text, and I can't see a way of achieving this? I guess there is nothing I can do...

It does indeed, thanks! I discovered after asking the question that I could indeed change the font and colour of text, but it's a shame that I can't change the size of individual elements (an Ungroup option would be great!)
Sorry for asking an already-answered question, I Searched the Forum, but obviously didn't use the right words!

I'm using Vintage Title 03 from the Title Room, and changing the text. There doesn't seem to be a way of changing the elements individually (altering the justification, or font, or size, for example, of one piece of text). Is this possible?
The same behaviour with all the other templates...

No problems like that on my end, and I think you've misunderstood the role of the Rate Us feedback channel. That's mostly for requesting new features/changes and for providing feedback on existing ones.
Ah, it seems I have indeed misunderstood that channel! OK, I'll check out the page you linked me to! Thanks

I don't want you to hurt your hearing by turning up the volume
-Andrew
Haha, thank you! Optodata has delved deeper and has unearthed a problem, so your ears are obviously not telling lies!
I usually Import 24-bit WAV files into PD, and have had no problem with them, nor with the occasional mp3s (though I create those at 320k bitrate, maybe worth trying that?)

That was my suggestion:
It was indeed (I see now!) sorry to step on your toes!

Hi all
I have had several crashes to Desktop with the latest version (19.2.2520) - is it my bad luck, or does anyone else here have the same problem? I shall report this via File>Rate Us (which seems a bonkers way to report problems, when they are obviously just fishing for stars, but hey ho... yes, I know that it says 'Tell us how we can make this product better for you' but this sounds like hooking up to the Marketing Dept (who I'm sure are lovely people!) rather than the Tech Support guys)
Just one or two examples:
editing the end fade on an audio clip in the timeline - sudden CTD
CTRL-A to move all clips - CTD
When Saving (a Project) As and right-clicking a Folder to rename it (as I can do in many other apps) - CTD
When Changing Settings, press SAVE - CTD (though the new settings seem to be saved)
and so on... things that never caused a problem before!

|

Why not put the clip on another track and then enable/disable the track as required?

Also, if you listen with headphones at a high volume, the PD file is hard to listen to it is so bad.
-Andrew
Exactly how I am listening to them! (though not at high volume... after 50 years of professional Audio Mastering - at Abbey Road, Sony Music, Record Plant NYC etc. - I am trying to preserve my hearing!)
So to repeat, these two files sound pretty much the same here.

Hi Andrew
Your two files sound pretty much the same here! (given the expected difference between WAV and mp3...). So, I expect this is a problem with the way you have set up PD?
Not much help, I know... Good luck!

Using Crop/Zoom/Pan?
no, I mean just Zoom in View, on the Timeline.
|
|
|
Zooming in or out often helps, but I'm sure you've tried that!
I've managed to regenerate waveforms, but like some other things in PD, once you've done it a few times, it will just ignore you!

Does the produced video have audio? Make sure you have PD set to preview in Real-time:
If the problem persists, take a screenshot of the timeline then save it as a JPG or PNG and use the Attachments button below the forum's text box to share it here.
Hi Optodata
Yes, I called it 'Rendered', should have said 'Produced'! The audio is fine in that.
BUT - just checked back in the Project, and you're absolutely right, I had for some unknown reason checked 'Preview in Non-Real Time'. Changing that back to 'Real Time' cured the problem. Tut!
Thanks for your prompt help, you've increased my life span somewhat!

Oh, also...
I have Un-installed and Re-installed PD 365.
And, if I load an old project, I still have no audio.

Hi all
Nearly at the end of a fairly complex project (a Virtual Choir thing), when suddenly all Audio in the Timeline disappeared... If I select a Clip in the Library and then play that Clip in the Preview window, I hear Audio. But playing it in the Timeline results in silence. I can see the Waveform, and can send the audio to AudioDirector and play it and process it from there. Sending it back to PD = no sound, though the Waveform is still there.
If I render the video, the audio is fine!
The problem persists if I start a New Project.
I usually work on audio in an external program so don't have cause to mess about with the Mixer in PD - but I don't see a Master Fader, only faders for individual tracks (which are set at 0)
Help!

Hi Ed
Are you working on a Virtual Choir video? I've done several of these, though not with as many as 70 - the most I had was 30 singers and 15 in the orchestra. It'd be great if you would post a link to your finished project (I assume it will be on YouTube?) so that we could see the finished result. You might also be interested in a Facebook page 'Virtual Music Creators' Forum' (make sure you get the apostrophe right!), which is a mine of information, though very Final Cut Pro-orientated.
Creating the grid in a graphics package is a good idea - also, you can turn on the Grid View in the Preview Window and then snap clips to that. This would help in getting the clips at more or less the same size, then you can edit/finetune the size of each one by right-clicking the clip in the timeline, selecting 'Edit Clip Keyframe' and then 'Clip Attributes'.
I found that having even just 20 full-length videos all running at once became very unwieldy, so find a way of working on just a few subsets (maybe Sopranos, then Altos and so on) and Rendering (Producing) each one before working on the next subset. So for example, work on just 10 clips, and then the next 10 and so on, meaning that in the end you will have just 7 videos playing at once. Forward planning and graph paper are essential for this!
Also, I find it imperative, with a Choir recording, to work on the audio seperately and in another program (audio is not PD's strong point). Then strip out the audio from your videos (do this before Producing each subset edit) and use just that one audio mixdown track
Good luck!

If you watch the video I linked to, you'll notice that the grid lines are a bit haphazard - I just do them by hand, but you talk about doing yours in PiP. Can you give me a few hints about your procedure?
TIA

Hello Dan and Happy Christmas! How did you get on with your Virtual Choir?
I've done several of these in PD - my computer is a similar set up to yours, though my PC is a bit younger. I had trouble with my first project, with about 40 singers, so rendered each section (Orchestra, Sops, Altos etc.) and that made things much easier. But you have to plan well ahead and take careful notes of positioning and so on. I find the audio needs much more work to get every voice in sync and to trim all the late/early 'S's and 'T's and so on. I think viewers notice the audio far more than small differences in video sync.
Can you post a link here to your Virtual Choir (btw, there is a very useful page on Facebook - Virtual Music Creators Forum which might be of interest to you)?
In a bit of shameless self-promotion, here's my latest attempt, a beautiful new arrangement of an old favourite Carol:

Wanted to Normalise the audio from a single video, i.e., just automatically raise the highest peak of the audio to 0. Went into Audio Director and, although there is no Normalise function there (or even Normalize!), I can raise the level. But when I send this audio file back to PD, the audio is offset from the original video. It is advanced by - I don't know - several frames.
Is this a known bug? - sorry, I have searched but no results...
