Return to non animated title from Lorum Ipsum

[Ken Veal]

All I want to do in VS9 is to get out of a Lorum Ipsum animated title and move back to entering a "normal" non animated text.I have tried the advice mentioned in post
http://forum.corel.com/EN/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=61436 but it is not working for me.Can any one suggest an answer please

After typing your chosen text/title, double left click the Title in the Timeline, go to Attributes and deselect "Apply" under Animation. This should return the Title to static, still retaining font etc that can then be changed at will.

Hi Kenneth

There may be other settings in Border Shadows etc, a few kicking about, not all easy to find.

Open the attached VSP project and follow the details.

The advice given here is not working for me in VS2018.I have an animated lorum ipsum title in the timeline, I want next to use a static title as when clicking on the "T" only in the first place.What do I need to do

Hi Kenneth

Yes, I did download that .vsp Trevor, perhaps I need some more detail on exactly what work flow to follow with it.

Hi Kenneth

Open the VSP using 2018
View the text box that indicates what to do……..

“Drag this text clip to your library to save a copy.
Then use any time to replace this text

Plain text Arial - font 48
colour white “

When you need to use a text with no animation simply drag this to the timelines then change the characters to whatever you like.
You may wish to change the font type and size, but no animation just a basic text box.

Thanks Trevor-got it ! But surely we should not have to this every time

For a new text creation, the text editor tends to use the font settings previously used
So if you explore the Title Library then create a new text the settings may take on those pre-sets. not plain text.
You could of course go through the editors attributes to reset the settings, the quickest way is to select a title that is created in plain text.

Once you have created a text with the settings you wish to use, you can save those by dragging to the library, then other new titles can use that pre-set, most users like to have their titles similar throughout the video?
