Rolling video text problem text outside screen etc.

[Hietanen]

I have just used Movie Maker to paste a long line of text, MM applied auto line break, setting the text on several lines.

I then copied and pasted the text to Video Studio and to my surprise retained the line breaks. The text displayed with the same format.

It did not work every time, sometimes pasting a single line.
But it did work, so now have to find out why? Give it a try…..

For what its worth I did some tests a while ago comparing MM to VS creating scrolling text, at that time Movie Maker created better crisper quality text.

Yes I noticed that as well, the Windows Movie maker in Windows 7 that I tried not only works perfectly to make a rolling text, and most importantly, it don't go outside the screen when pasting long sentences! but it also breaks the text up automatically for so that you can use it in other video editing tools of your liking.
All one have to do is simply to paste the desired text into the program, and the program generates the text in the program window for you that you can copy, and it will be all broken up so you don't have to do it yourself if you want to use some other program than Windows Movie Maker.

I use several video programs since not every program (in our price range) can do everything. So for example Roxio Creator (a Corel company) can do scrolling, word wrapped text. I have attached a link to a short example. I chose a low quality to cut down on the file size. The sample does show that you can set fonts, colours, size etc for the text in the text box. There is a bit of fiffling to do when making adjustments but it does work

Thank you, it is always good to know that there are alternative programs that do work if Windows Movie Maker don't turn out as one wished.

canuck, could you perhaps try to paste in very large amounts of text in the program, lets say 5 pages or more, and see what happens with the program?

I ask this, because unfortunately, Corel/Ulead Video Studio is not good with larger chunks of text and when it is pasted into the program, it lags up the whole program and the program become unresponsive. I have tried it on two different computers with the same result. If someone would like to make a test by pasting in several pages of text and confirm that this also happened to them on Corel, or if perhaps it didn't, it would be good to know.

Hi Guys

Are you using the Ultimate version with Boris Graffiti installed as an add-on.
That will do what you want

At least it wraps lines, and has many animations, I’m sure one would do what you need.
The animations are embedded to either an image or video clip.

I am a little surprised it has not been mentioned?

I have not used Graffiti that much so a don’t really know its full potential.
