Text size

[Rosemary A]

Is the ability to choose a font size and maintain it throughout the show going to be available in PTE AV Studio 12? At present one has to copy and paste the original slide and delete its text and replace it with the new text. I find it unwieldy especially in such a sophisticated program.

I think, we already have a parameter of text size that is compatible with PTE's object model: It is just the Zoom value of a single line. Of course there is a problem. If we add additional lines an change the Line spacing, the "text size" does not show up any more. My suggestion: There should be an additional box (beside Alignment and Line spacing int the text object's Properties) showing the corresponding Zoom value for a single line. One may call it "text size". So, entering some lines of text, the value for Line spacing and the Text size would (automatically) determine the text's Zoom value.

You don't copy & paste the Slide with Text, just the Text Object in O&A.

At least with this method you are certain to keep the same Font, Shadow & colour throughout the show.

I don't find it a problem. But then I mainly only use Text for a Title & end Credits.

And each of these would be a different size anyway.
I never look at the Zoom size & just drag the Text to the size that looks right on the image.

 

The ability to easily use a different colour or Font for some characters in a word or line, without having to create a separate Text Objects would be much more useful.

I have recently needed to create a line where the first letter of each word was a different colour & size took much longer as they all had to be separate Text Objects. And keeping the spacing correct, especially if there is animation was difficult.
