How to freely move text

Jody_Savage

I'm new to this software and in one of my videos, I have stationary text that I want to place above someone's name. However when I move it, I can not get it in the perfect position.

It's almost like it's snapping but I don't know what to or how to change it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Set the A/R to Match Monitor

If you are moving the text with the POSITION or MOTION effect, it sometimes helps to Show Dual Preview windows under OPTIONS | DISPLAY.

Then, In the clip preview window at the left drag the text to the desired position as you view the sequence window. Or use the effect sliders.

Take a look to this instructional video. Not auto motion tracking, but manual motion tracking. 🙂 Hope there will be auto motion tracking soon. And auto white balance please. LOL

Yes, desirable features. Request them.

In effects,some of the choices may do what you want.

Yes, I tested them out. Color balance and temperature will do. Just I miss the white balance function in pinnacle studio where I can aim at a "correct white" to change the balance of the color in the video. I'll do a suggestion. They'll think I'm asking for too many things.
