Hello.
I trying write a script which creates a new text event with automatically calculated font size (depending on the length of the text on input). For check that calculations are right I tried manually measure text dimensions via photoshop but symbols with same value of font size (in points) in Vegas and photoshop are totally different.
For example: I created new Titles & Text event in Vegas, type "a" with font "Arial" size "12". After that I saving Snapshot as image, and open it in photoshop. Then I add "a" with Arial 12 via photoshop text tool, but is much smaller than symbol which I created in Vegas. And if I want to have symbol with same size I need use Arial ~75.
As I understand the problem is different DPI in Vegas Text & Titles tool and snapshot image, and from the results it's obvious that VegasT&T DPI is much higher than Snapshot DPI. So if I want to get a right multiplicator for photoshop font size I need calculate:
multiplicator = VegasT&TDPI / SnapshotDPI.
Snapshot always have DPI = 72, but how I can get DPI which is used in Vegas T&T Tool?
Or maybe there are different formulas or ways to match size of text from Vegas and other applications?
If this information will be helpful my display resolution is 1920x1080 (project in Vegas and snapshot are same).
