Hi everyone.

I am making a little video which transitions from one keyframe to another. I have noticed that, although the same font size is utilized each time, the text size appears bigger on some text segments than others....

Will the text size automatically change size depending upon the amount of text on the segment?

Scratching my head here....

Hi Toddsta,

As far as I know PD doesn't automatically change the font size to account for addtional amount of text. So this doesn't sound normal in my opinion.

A screen shot would be helpful....It's hard to tell from your description how much of a difference in size you are seeing. How much of a difference are you talking about?

And it might be more helpful if you said...."I noticed this in the Preview window....or...I noticed this size difference when I produced my project to a video file and played it back on this type of media player". I was using this particular font, with this size selection...I applied this effect...so on and so on.
Try to give the information so that another member could set up a project with the same video files(aspect ratio, file type, etc. etc.), specific titles used, font, size, bold?, italic?......Output file type(profile selected).....etc. etc. This way we would try to duplicate it. Does that make sense? Just trying to help you resolve the problem.
