Changing the text for the entire DVD project

Post by libby »

Is there a quick way of changing the whole text for a project rather than title by title?

Echo the first post. I too often wondered if there was a quick way of altering all the text in one go within a project.

The last time I was editing, had a 45min production, full of informative text popping up, changed to the font I wanted at the time of entering the text, however, a couple of times, when I had saved and returned to my project, the font had for reason of it's own accord ( VS9 )changed. So I had to manually go in and change every line back, save and fingers crossed it would 'hold' so to speak until I came to finishing my project and burning.

So, is there a quick way, a ...'select all' so to speak and it alters ALL of the text youve entered on one go?

The only way I've seen that is close to this, is to save your titles as a subtitle file. However that does not maintain all the attributes, and will only allow up to a certain font size, which is geared more toward lower thirds type of text. When you open a Subtitle file, you have the options on the Open Dialog window, to set the TypeFace, Font Size, Color for the text.

Does the OP mean text on DVD Menus (which I thought by the thread subvject), or overlay text on the actual video footage :?:

Hi

I think Libby is referring to Titles, as in the timeline.

After creating the titles, can we select all titles in the timeline to edit the font?

Sorry Libby you have to edit the titles one at a time. Unfortunately the titles have to be selected from the preview screen to create/edit
Long process if you have a lot of titles.
