Font sizing in titles

I'm trying to use the title editor to put bullet points into a presentation.

I'm going mad trying to get the titles the same size - would love some help!

All I'm trying to achieve is to have the bullet font the same size within a particular list - but I'm finding I'm having to do it by eye because I can't make putting the text size in at '8' for example bring it all into line.

I'm attaching a screen shot.

I'd love some help! - have had a look for previous threads but not seeing anything that matches and that I can understand.

Thank you...

Thank you Jaime-esque and CS2014.

I actually double checked it had gone on!! Anyway, I needed to get everything out, so painstakingly went through and redid each slide of bullets.

I noted down start time of the bullet appearing, then deleted it and replaced it with a new text box.

It's taking me hours to put bullets on tho!

Do you know of an online tutorial which could help? I'm sure there are ways of making it quicker.

Is there a way of quickly changing the fade effect at start and end of each bullet to 12 frames?

Or to make the default of a transition fade 12 frames rather than 2 seconds?

I use 12 second fades a lot!!

Thanks

If you go to Preferences (the gear icon top of main PD window) -

- then hit/select editing
- then go into the window that pops up- to the bottom middle of that Preferences/editing window - "transitions" is listed.
- Change that length to 0.2 seconds.

WHen I did this, I went into that transition in the timeline to check how many frames that would be - IT WAS 12 FRAMES!

Hope that helps.

Setting this should make all the transitions in a project THAT duration you set in the window I described. BUT THIS IS BEFORE you create a project. Once a project is already made with all those transitions, I'm not aware if you can just select the transitions to modify the duration of JUST the transitions. I have NOT been able to accomplish this - and have tried.

Sorry if this was no help - but I hope it does in your future projects.

The attached png hopefully shows what I described above.

You are welcome.

Just an additional note, the lowest time that I could set the duration to was 0.2 seconds - which just worked out to be 12 frames - but I was working in a 60fps work environment also. Gear icon - Preferences-General then look for Timeline Frame Rate. This sets the timeline frame rate for the entire project.

Timeline Frame Rate directly affects the number of frames per second that in turn are related to the duration of the transitions. So a 0.2 seconds transition set in the Preferences-Editing-Transition-Duration - working in a 30FPS Timeline Frame Rate - would be 6 frames in duration.
