I have copied a snapshot of the text screen to my clipboard and made a file of the screen. Can someone tell me how to post the screen on this forum?
Thanks

As far as I know, you need to have a site (like photobucket etc) where you can host the image then post the link to the image. See the following link for more information on including links etc in a (from the "Forum Markup" topic) post ...

Thanks gpsmiley,
Hope I am now displaying my problem with text.

As I stated early the text looks centered in the timeline but is skewed on the preview screen. Any thoughts?
Thanks

Some possible causes:

Is the text centre justified?

Accidentally rotated in Pan Crop or Track Motion?

Accidentally applied Deform FX?

I have tried putting almost every one of the preset media generators into my project. Protype Titler, plain text, scroll credits, etc.
Most are centre justified, but not all. I have not added any pans or video effects. I have also tried putting the text at different points in the video. Over stills and over video. They all skew to the right and at a slight angle. If it is a center text it ends up way to the right. If it is left justified it ends up more to the center of my preview but stil skewed downward. Could I have some perference or options checked that is causing this?
Thanks for the help

or track motion?

What I'd need to see now is another view, a view of the WHOLE timeline, including the Sample Text, the underlying video, the Track Header and the cursor position. Can you do that? Can you do a Screen Grab?

Have you tried using a NEW set of tracks?

Grazie

That's it. Track motion.
Just remembered I had been playing around with a still on the track I had inserted for my titles a few days ago.
Thanks for the help.

As I suggested, check Track Motion in the Track Header of the track where the text is - something has moved the text - If this has not been changed from default (to reset, right click and choose "Restore". Then open up Pan Crop for the Text event and check that this is also untouched.

If it's not that it has to be either an applied effect - something has definitely rotated and moved the text.
