Questions/Comments: Copy Section, Font Effect, Overlay
Posted: Sat Mar 02, 2019 4:37 pm
Questions:
1. Any way to copy/export a section (such as the caption or image with the special effects) to another project?
2. Is it possible to use special effects on just the text in a caption (such as font color changes?) Applying effects to the captions only changes the video layer and not the font/text itself.
3. When should I use an overlay? Is it different from just using another track?
(If these were asked before, sorry to repeat the questions here.)
Comments:
I find when dragging images or caption sections around the tracks that the cursor often pops on the line below the track I wish to place the item at. For example, if I am moving a caption from track 3 to track 2, I have to put the cursor over track 3 and when I let go of the mouse, it will land on track 2. This happens at only certain zoom settings.
Another odd behavior is that when I copy and paste a section, there doesn't appear to be any certainty as to where the pasted section will end up. So if I select track 3, the section may show up at the end of track 3 or the beginning of track 2 (and often will bump another section forward or backward to make room for it - which means I have to go and fix the section that is now out of place.) Maybe there's a recommended way to move and paste sections?
These behaviors didn't occur on earlier software builds.
Thanks so much for all the help and continued success on all your products.
The movie projects are going great.
