Text help

I have one photo in my timeline and I just drag it to fill up the timline instead of just making copies of it again and again.

So it will be one photo for the length of the timeline and it works good.

Then in the track right ontop of the video trak I right click and pick insert text.

And I make my titles and words.

Then I move over to the right and put another text box and what hapens is the text fades into the next text box.

and my photo is in the background through the whole thing.

It plays great in the prevue window but when I render it this is what hapens??

I save it to my desktop and when I play itt it plays about 3 sec from the middel and that is all.

It never renders the whole thing.
can anyone help?

Ok I foundout that on my Render screen I unchecked Loop Regen.

And when I look at the middel of my Timeline there is a Little bar and when I put my mouse over it it says Loop Regen or something like that.

I never put any Markers on my Timeline to have ot Loop what is this??

You can put those markers in accidentally. Either with keystrokes ("i" for "in point", and "o" for "out point") or with the mouse (you can create a region just by left clicking and dragging the pointer either left or right on the timeline)

If you want to check to see if there is a loop section .. zoom all the way out until you see the entire project and look for those points .. OR .. just remember to look and UN-CHECK that box that asks you if you want to render JUST the loop region.

If there is a Loop Regen on the Timeline how can I get rid of them or it??

You can get rid of it by ignoring it. It's really that simple. Just make sure you don't have the box "render loop region only" checked when rendering.

If you really want to make it disappear you can press i and then o without moving the cursor between the two keypresses. This will cause the region to be 0 frames long, which effectively eliminates it.

You need to take both ends of the timeline loop and run them back through the middle and out the other end this will get rid of the loop. 8>)

Yes but .. you forgot the "half twist" .. so that you'll end up with a Mobius Loop ;-)

I don't need to do that because I start with my fingers crossed!
