ProType: Character cascading using a space

TLF wrote on 9/21/2007, 12:54 AM
I'm beginning to understand PTT a lot better now, and I'm managed to create the effects I want - characters flying in and popping out. But only when single words are involved.

Let's say I create a preset in which the characters individually zoom in, remain static for a period of time, then fade out. In creating this preset, the placeholder text reads simply "Text".

When I apply this present, I change the text to, say, "The End". In doing so, the preset will only apply to the word "the" leaving the word "End" always in view.

The question is, how to I create the preset so the effects apply to ALL the words I enter?

The more I play with it, the more I like PTT. It has a lot of hidden power. Deceptive, that the only way to describe it.

answered this in another thread but if you go to the ... in the titler, you'll see a slider and a curve, but between those two are some words (which I automatically skipped over because who wants to read (it's probably something about the curve or the slider)... WRONG, it's a setting! a setting to assign the cascade to either just the word, the whole line, or the whole block of text.

Deceptively powerful (not bad)

Ahhhhh. I hadn't spotted that line of text. If only the designers put a triangle next to it so that we KNOW there are more options available.

Superb. Works a treat. And not to play with some colour.

Oh yeah. Now we know...
