Hello All!

I am doing a memorial slideshow/video for my late mother-in -law and I have a couple questions/ issues....

1) I wanted to put the poem that was on her prayer card into the video with three different scenic backgrounds. Because it was so long I could not figure out how to run the key frames to slow the pace of it down so it could be read (I am doing the "star wars" scroll/crawl). Therefore, I did a title page and entered all the words onto the one page. I used spacing as I entered the words to help act as a fade transitions between the three background screens. I have everything timed out perfectly with music etc. However, when I run the movie, sometimes the words will appear on some of the still frames later on. I know that the words of the poem on the title bar are under those frames, but the scroll is done running several minutes before. Did I hit something to cause the words to appear on some of the later frames? And why do they only show up sometimes. If I exit out and come back, or remove the title and paste again it goes away? Any suggestions on that would help.

2) I edited some video from my in-laws dancing at our wedding. Unfortunately, they are not always the only one in the frames. I figured out the PIP? focus where I can put an oval around them and move it according to their movements, however, I was wondering if there is a way to take them and place it on some type of background other than just black?

I am very new at this but feel like I have figured quite a bit out already. I know my questions are vague and probably don't make sense but I would appreciate any help or feedback I can get. I wanted to get this done in the next day or two so I can give it to my family for their first anniversary since she past.

Thanks!

Dafydd Bevan - SoftDeko,

Sorry about that, I thought a nickname was sufficient. I went in and tried to change my profile and I do not see a location for adding my name. I am new at this so I apologize for any problems or misunderstandings...

Regards,

Jason

Hi Jason,
No, sorry, you were ok. It was another forum member who was posting on the forum. You have done nothing wrong, nothing whatsoever.

I wondered if my post would be misinterpreted... sorry.

The reason the post has to be made here is that unnamed (and that's a deliberate act on their part) members can not be contacted by PM (no-name) and yet a forum reply notification will be received.

Perspective scroll.

The length of the title in the track decides the display length of the title. Sometimes over-running a title length will give a longer display time in a video.

Dafydd,

Thanks for your reply. I did enter the scroll text correctly and I have my timing with the background screens, text, and music all set. My issue that I am having is the "title Bar" which holds the poem is about 4:30. The scrolling is complete on the background screens the way I like it at just over 1 minute. My problem is sometimes between the 1 minute where the scrolling stops and the 4 1/2 minute mark of the title bar. The first few words of the poem is appearing on some of the frames. It doesn't happen on all of them but I do not know how to remove it so the poem only appears during the scrolling during that first minute. Is there anyway to extend the title bar as I have for the ability to read the script to four minutes without the words appearing after the scrolling is complete?

Am I making sense? Is there anyway I can take a screen shot and include it for you?

Thanks for your help.

Hi Jason,
I'll point you to some guides and select "Post Reply" rather than the quick reply, will offer you a means to apply attachments.

Read Part B and then check out E & F

I would like screenshots of your "Edit Workspace" and Title Designer, showing Perspective scroll. The Edit Workspace screenshot needs to be of the whole screen. Both should be of sufficient resolution that the text can be read please.

Dafydd,

Thanks again and ahead of time for all of your help. I am just about done with my slideshow/video except for fixing this problem with the script at the front. I hope I have provided the correct shots that you requested. Please let me know if you need something different. I will also include another post after this with one or two more pics that may help better explain what I am trying to communicate. Please let me know if there is anything different I need to do or provide to you.

Thanks again,

Jason

Dafydd,

I have included a couple other pics that I hope may help.

1) showing the scrolling in the first three screens like I want with the correct run time for speed.

2) Showing a pic after the scrolling is complete but within the 4 min of the title bar. Trying to remove this text.

3) Sample of normal pic outside of 4min bar with no text appearing.

Just thought these may help. Let me know if I can provide anything else.

Again, thanks so much for all of your help.

Jason

Hi Jason,
Thank you for the images.
Please look at the image i provided and compare it with your Title page.jpg



You should notice the slider positions are different. Please expand the slider to the length mine is. Expand the blue bar/slider to the end.

The speed of the display and the display time are controlled by the length of the Title file in the Title track. If you shorten the slider as you have done the (percentage) length of time displayed is significantly shorter and ends before the Title file ends.

I hope I make sense, sorry if I dont.

Thanks for the help! I think I got it...I put all three backgrounds individually but ran the entire script as one through the three screens. This made the run time needed to be very long. I went ahead and reprocessed the entire script and broke it up into thirds with each screen. Same result, different process...other than one was right and one wasn't. Thanks again for all of your help.
