Text Generating

Observation

If I put transparent text - using the on-board text generator on tk #1 with video on tk #2 and this is fine but some of the positioning aspects seem limited. Now I'm getting into the can't explain area - if I move the text from tk #1 to tk#2 and put a clip on tk #3 so the only thing we are doing is moving things down but maintaining clips on tk #2 with the text and the addition of clip(s) on tk #3 there is a world of difference between these two track text placements. The text is much bolder, easier to place and maneuver, there is a font size change - not an increase in your selected font size number i.e. if you have font size 26 set, and it remains 26 but an increase in size. So, do I cut clips and include text on the video tks with clips on lower tracks and take advantage of this better text display? Or what is really happening, a setting that we overlooked. There should be no difference at all, but in our situation there is. Any thoughts!!

Hey!

My take on your problem is that every track has its own setting and even if you fix the settings of the text in track 1, by moving it to track 2, it absorbs the settings you originally placed in track 2.

I guess you should just manually fix settings for the text and video that are both on track 2 or just put the text back to track 1.

Hope i got to understand and help you in some way.

Have a good one!
