How to centralise text on the screen?

Post by milosh »

How do I make sure my text is cetralised? Are there any ways of aligning text?

How to make sure that putting text repeatedly (titles, names) the text will be put in the same place?

The obvious solution would be copying but then if the text is shorter or longer it's not centralised anymore so need to make sure it is.

Seems so basic but I can't find it anywhere sorry? (the alignment arrows are very basic and the name of the software is followed by PRO so I would expect something more precise)

make sure that the text is selected - that is the text has the yellow boxes around it - then click the point where the red arrow is pointing to in the image below to centralise the text .

If you want the text centralised horizontally but not vertically then use the same centralise button and then use your keyboard up and down arrow keys to ensure that the text only moves vertically.

So the only way to put text in any specific place and then another one in the same place is to count arrow tapping from the centre.

Yes - which is a very very easy and a very precise way of doing it.

You could I suppose turn the grid lines on and then try to align text to line - but that is not 100% accurate.

Hi

That depends on what you are trying to achieve.
If it’s the same text with maybe a different animation then simply copy the clip and paste to the timeline. First clip may say Fade-In with the second Fly out?

Can you explain just what you are trying to do?
What version of Video Studio are you using?
Text position.zip
the vsp file will open using X6
