Strange issue with Script filter

Post by Pepi »

I had long video where I tried to add text boxes using "Script" -filter. When I did a troubleshooting it looks that this is actually proDAD's HeroglyphScript-4.0.

The video was long and I need to add multiple texts with different names. So obviously, as lazy I'm, I create one filter and then applied that to overlay. When I have done that I then copied it multiple times across video. After that I only need to do few modifications to the text and I could save time. ....or that was the idea :roll:

But I actually end to the following (a test video):
Script Video look like.png
Looks fine? Yes, but the problem was, on the VideoStudio the same moment looks like this:
Script layout.png
On the output the only first text is correct "TEST Text 01". Then rest of the text were "TEST Text 02".

If you are looking for the VideoStudio, you can see I have selected third filter and the text is "TEST Text 04".

And when I select the third box, nothing change, but when I select some other box and then select the third it looks like this:
Script when third is selected.png
I believe the workaround is to not copy the sections on the Overlay multiple times with filter, but copy the overlay section only without filter/effect, and then add filter one by one, which is something I don't want.

But something is still wrong on VideoStudio, it should made what it show. Anybody remember WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get).

Hi
Are you saying that when you customise the Script and modify the text that it does not change.
I did this
1 / drag a colour clip (black) to the overlay track
2 / apply a FX Script, double click and Customise the filter
3 / added my own text
4 / Insert returned to timeline with correct text
5 / right click clip for Copy, Drop to overlay track created a second clip
5a/ a second option to copy and paste attributes would also create the same Script effect.
6 / double click new clip – customise script to change the text
7 / Insert returns to timeline with second clip containing new text.

Yes, that is what I meant. Here is once more a new example:
Script with four copies.png
Btw, with two copies I got the correct behaviour. Try with four like I did.
1. One black color on Overlay 1
2. Add script to that.
3. Do the modification
4. Accecpt all changes
5. Copy that three times.
6. Modify each of them.

How does it look your site :?:

Hi Pepi

Yep using several clips does have a strange effect with the text
I will have to do more tests , I had thought it may be because of using the Colour clips but have tried Jpeg images with the same problem.

Its strange that when i move from Clip 1 to 2 then to 3 and 4 I get one type of text, yet moving down from 5,4,3,2 and 1 the text changes
It does appear that the text is applied to frame 1 of a clip yet the remaining frames have a different text
Very confusing

I also tried copy clip 1 only, to create all the clip, then i tried Clip 1 Copy - creates Clip 2, then Clip 2 Copy to create Clip 3 and so on.

So far I am unable to correct or explain why we see this problem

Pepi can you report this to Corel Support

Great to hear that, meaning again, it is only on my workstation :)

And yes I will do it, but I’m at the moment not close to my wks, so I’ll do that after few days.

Have a great New Year !!
