Text Editor Error

gdog

When I add a fade to my Add Text, entering the text editor, shows no text preview.

No problem seeing text fades here in the preview window of the latest VP release.

Make certain that the text color is different from the background or it won't be seen in the text composition window. Fades don't preview in that window.

It's not on general playback that I don't see it, it's on getting into the text editor; double clicking the text video track shows as a blank on editing the text in the clip preview.

Doesn't here. Again, be sure that text and background are different colors. If the text color matches the preview image background the text might not show.

Swipe the text in the preview window while holding down the left mouse button. Does it appear then?

Perhaps a screen grab would better demonstrate what you see. Here's how to link it...

I also have instances where the program freezes, like with a white transparent layer over it when closing or opening.

Hi gdog

Your image shows that you are Clip preview. It seems you have the Clip Preview cursor line set at the start of the clip. .......

As you have added a fade-in to the text clip the Clip Preview cursor will be in the fade area If this is so then the clip preview will not show any text.

Note that the two red cursor lines do not necessarily show the same image. In this instance if you were to display dual screens or switch to Sequence preview you would see your text as the timeline cursor is positioned between the fade-in and the Fade-out markers.

Try moving the Clip preview red cursor line (arrowed) to the right and see what happens. Note that If the duration of the fade-in is set close to, or as long as the text image duration, you will not see any text in the preview at all.(but this not the case here)
