Believe it or not, I spent a year and a half from time to time trying to add a title, guided only by the useless User guide (which incidentally has no index). Today I found your video and within ten minutes of viewing it, I created a complex title. Thank you.
I think you're fantastic man! If people don't like your positive, up beat and fun approach, it's because they're frustrated in life and quite possibly they're envious that you're happy and good at what you do! Your courses have been abolutely priceless for me and I thoroughly enjoy watching them! Thanks for being a star!
Hey, Maliek. Thanks for another great "TUT". Don't change anything about your personality - I don't know why anyone would criticize you! I, for one, appreciate you for who you are and for all the time you spend on sharing your expertise with us. Thank you, once again. Michael.
Hi Maliek, You tried to change once and I thought you were unwell. Please stay the way you are, I enjoy your tutorials and am glad they are available free because I keep forgetting parts of what I have learned and have to re-visit from time to time. You are the friendly face that helps me achieve!
I literally couldn't have learned how to use this program without you. Don't change who you are. Its up to other people to accept you for who you are. If they cant, its more of a commentary on them. Keep it up bro. Thanks for all the effort.
I'm all about being me and doing this editing tutorial thing "my way". When it stops being fun for me, I won't do it anymore. Appreciate the vote of confidence and the support. 😃 C-ya!
no problem. I have been trying to find a tutorial explaining how or if I can take video clips that Ive edited in the A/V Track waveform window and drag them back up into my library when done, for later use, so they aren't in my way for editing other clips on other tracks. Is there a way I can do this? No is an acceptable answer. Lol.
Depending on what you are trying to do and it you want to permanently change a file you can make corrections to a files properties while it is still in the library and the corrections will remain with the file. If you are editing a file by trimming, splitting, adding effects, etc., you can't drag the changed clip back to the library. What you can do is creating a composition by adding mark in and mark out points to the clip to identify which part of the timeline you want to export. then you can export just that section of the timeline to create a new file which will then be added to the library if you're using watch folders or you can import the new file into the library manually.
Ok, thanks, I really did my due diligence before asking, I even scoured through the manual! I can't wait to be as adept at this program as you are. Look Out! The lightning effects are crazy cool! Thanks for your time Maliek. "Oh where oh where can my media be? Oh where oh where can it be?" Lol.
I have watched numerous videos regarding the use of Pinnacle. Yours are as detailed as I've ever seen and your knowledge is top notch! I very much appreciate you taking the time to share your skills.
This video shows you can teach an old dog new tricks! Thanks for the refresher on titles! As for your voice mannerisms, that is what makes you and your tutorials, "you". Easy peezy lemon squeezy! A great job and a COMPLETE tutorial on text!!
***** It is "us" that should be thanking you for your selfless continued support of Pinnacle Studio. It is a labor of love to the community from you. You've opened up the creative door for many with your tutorials on "how to do this" when others might have thought it was not possible. You've shown what can be done with this editor, exploring the "inner" workings of it and explaining it so that anyone can replicate what you do. Your tutorials push the limits of the program in ways that are new and fresh, not just a rehash of the "same old stuff". Cheers my brother!
POSITIVE all the way, I love the way you describe everything I want to know. The simplest navigation problem can drive me crazy and you keep me going. A HUGE Thank You. Having fun with Pinnacle Studio now, Steve
You are absolutely right. Who wants a self driving car as all these software talk about? This keeps you engage at the right level, with great supporting video support.
Lol I'm just binge watching all your videos on Pinnacle studio today. I just got this software (boxed version) today and I'm trying to learn as much as I can. It's quite complicated compared to things like iMovie.
You sir are a gem, I haven't found anything saying that it's possible to import custom fonts... seeing as you're the only one on earth who makes tutorials for pinnacle I had to come to you. Is it possible? it has to be! Please tell me it is. I need a custom font for a client or I lose their business.
hey man, great tutorials, Iike them all, and the way to talk is just fine, don't ever change, sometimes it's funnh and entertaining so we learn more, thanks!
Thanks for always coming through with awesome tutorials Malik! I really appreciate the content you provide for us. Cheers from your new subscriber, Josh.
Awesome tutorials!!!! How do you draw the arrows on screen??? I'm looking to do this for one of my videos to draw on a map. Do you have a tutorial on this?
Thank You very much for your prompt response!!! Camtasia is a bit expensive, so I was hoping to be able to do it directly in Pinnacle Studio 18.5, but still I'm glad to know how it's done. :-)
Malek, You showed me a couple of things I didn't know about the title editor. Great job as always. Still looking forward to info about Pinnacle Studio 18 being able to handle footage from Go Pros shot at 2.7k at 30 fps.
I always enjoy your tutorials and have no problem with the way you speak. You aren't the typical announcer type but it is refreshing. Keep them coming. I do have a problem with Corel not correcting the slow motion problem that I had since a update after PInnacle Studio 19 Ultimate just came out. Studio 19 in other words worked great until the update and the slow motion won't work anymore. I would like to see a fix and update for this.
Thanks for the kind words. Since Pinnacle has moved to version 20 it is highly unlikely that they will be making any fixes for version 19. Unfortunately you will have to do without slo motion if it isn't working. have you reached out to support or the Pinnacle forum to see if there is a solution out there to fix the problem?
It was a glitch or a bug in the programming. A lot of people supposedly had that. I can't believe that they would leave it like that. You have to upgrade to fix what was broken in 19 Ultimate?? Wow! That is very customer service. If version 20 has a problem, we will all have to upgrade to version 21 then 22 to fix the problems in 21. That is not a good way of doing business!
Hello! +PinnacleStudioPro :) I have a problem, so I thought you would know the answer. So when I add a photo or a video to main editing screen, I go to text editor menu, but can't see the "Your Text Here" tittle. Why? Because it is under the photo or video, but why? How do I get it on to the photo/video? (no matter that have you recorded the video with a camera or screen recorder) This problem didn't show up when I just bought the PS 18. But now it has revealed itself. It works on Normal User account as it needs to work, but on Administators Account I cannot Add a Text On To The Video. Help would be needed! 😊
Hi There, great video but I would like to save the title I have created as my favourite, can I do this? instead of saving it in My Looks. The title I have created includes a rectangle in the background with the tile text in front. In My Looks it only saves the TEXT. Thanks Peter.
I miss a good alignment. For example: When you have two lists. The left one shows the names of persons you can see in the video. The right one shows the roll name in the video. You want both lists on the exact height. There is no automatic function. You have to do it manually. If you create a red rectangle and a white rectangle. You want to place the retangles next to each other with the same height (above and below). There is no automatic function. You have to do it manually. Am I correct?
Very informative video thank you. I had a company create an animated front bumper for me with simple text and they left the bottom section open so I could create my own text and lay it over top. They created their text in 1080 in Final Cut and now when I drop my text in from Pinnacle Studio 20 the resolution of that text is noticeably lower on the big screen in 1080p. Is there a way to control the resolution of the text created in Pinnacle?
Yes, I STILL use Pinnacle 18 Ultimate... LOL! Anyway, I tried Pinnacle 20, but I went back to 18, be cause I have the ultimate version. Anyway, this is where Pinnacle really drops the ball in video editing. While the title editing is AWESOME! The text editing is pretty basic at best... I'd love to see more text editing choices in the future. It's so odd that there are so many choices to scroll text, there's absolutly nothing to choose from as to animating the text...
Sure can. As a matter of fact here is one using a NewBlueFX that I uploaded yesterday. ruclips.net/video/F7KAYEomX_E/видео.html If you are not a subscriber then you may want to sub so that you are notified when I upload a new video. :-) Happy New Year!
Thanks for the tutorial. Can you show how you make the red arrows that you use to point things out on the screen? I spent a ton of hours on the net to figure it out, but can't find any reference to it. Thanks
Well, after all these years...you're still the man! I always think that you kinda invented Avid! ;) I'm still working with Avid Studio and I like to use a line of text that is moving. Like moving with a subject in the video. You have a nice tip for me? Thanks again for your great tutorials! You should win the big cup!
+Frank Muusz Thanks for the kind words. :-) Off the top of my head I would add 2D Editor Advanced to the title you created and keyframe the position to follow the subject.
+PinnacleStudioPro Well, there's nothing wrong with the top of your head my man! Worked just fine! Thanks a lot! And by the looks of it Avid 18/19 does practically work the same as Avid Studio? Keep up the great work dude! 👍
First off, I really appreciate you taking the time to post your tutorial videos...you're doing an awesome job. My question is this; is there anyway to remove or decrease the background noise. I'm making a training video and using a Sony DCR-SX40 Camcorder. In between the speaking parts of the video, there is a rather loud patch of white noise. Thanks for any help you can provide.
+gunnyphi Pinnacle is not good at audio editing. It has features for removing noise but they are not that effective. Pinnacle comes with a free program called izotope which others have said works great at removing noise. I have not used izotope successfully. You can find out more about it on the Pinnacle Studio forum. forums.pinnaclesys.com/forums/242/ShowForum.aspx
Your speaking is great!! (And your comments and asides are hilarious!) During those seconds of silence, I had to check my computer and its settings; I thought I had accidentally muted the sound. As always, very helpful information. Do the lightly inscribed rectangles in the text editor mean anything other than to provide a positioning guide?
Catherine Pankow Thanks for the kind words. I love entertaining my viewers. The rectangles are for positioning. They are called safe zones. Basically you should keep your text inside of the safe zone to ensure it will be visible on HD or SD displays.
Love your videos! They've been very helpful to me. I have a question that I have not been able to figure out. If I'm working on a project and decide I want to insert something in the middle of the timeline. How do I create a space in the center but still keep all the work I've done on the tracks forward without changing them. I know I can move each track separately by dragging. But how do I tie multiple tracks together and move them all at he same time. I've been using this product for years and haven't figured that out yet. Thanks and keep making videos!!
If you have PS Plus or Ultimate you can change the timeline mode. Under the Preview Window all the way over to the right you will see an orange icon on the toolbar that looks like a magic wand. If you click on it and change it to Overwrite Mode everything will stay in place when you add clips anywhere in the timeline. If you change it to Insert Mode it will move everything over when you add something to the middle of the timeline. If you have it on Smart Mode Pinnacle tries to figure out what to do for you. Hope this helps.
I wish the video content started faster on your videos, (because by the time I am searching for a tutorial, it is because I tried to figure it out on my own, and can't and want a fast solution!), but other than that, these video tutorials are great!!!
Thanks, I love your tutorials man. Thanks for sharing. . What did you use to create the brief introduction to this tutorial where you see the rotating spinning 3D text and then the explosion? Was this done with Pinnacle? How do you do this at the very beginning?
+Fugitive136 MY intros are created with Adobe After Effects. You need compositing software to do things like that. I use Pinnacle to edit all of my videos clips.
hello, I enjoy the man walking from the tree video. Is there away I can do the opposite have the people disappear or fade away with a straight shot with no pole, no wall. Just people passing by and if not is there away people can please disappear into the tree. Thank you. Love your videos!
The person can disappear as long as the shot is static with nothing changing in it. They can disappear into the tree the same way as they walk out of the tree.
This was great and I think your voice is Kewl. Only problem is I thought I did all you said but when I clicked on T the text box came up but the video clip was not seen just a black background. What did I do wrong? I'm using PS16U.
thanks for posting this. I did learn a lot from it, and now my video presentations look a sight more professional. The silence at the start is most inspirational, even if it does have an American accent. LOL
Great video. Thanks! Is there a way in Pinnacle to lock a text to a moving object? Like if I'm have a centered object (ie. camera) and slowly spin the video around it, have a text saying "12 Zoom" at one side while it spins? Thanks again
Hi, excellent tutorial, answered many questions I had (being a man and previous user of Pinnacle, I jumped straight in without understanding everything!) However, I have a couple of issues I hope you can help with. I'm using Pinnacle Studio 18 Ultimate: 1. When I add a title to a clip, and then watch the title, the video underneath jumps back a fraction of a second. So you see a clip, then when the title appears you see the same clip. I just want a smooth title over running footage, any ideas? I can upload a video if it helps? 2. Using the snapshot tool, I have a similar problem. I click on the button when I'm at the section of footage I want a still of, but the image it grabs is for up to 4 seconds earlier! Any ideas on that please?
Dave Horney Might be best to post videos or screen shots of your issues as I have not encountered either one. You can post them to my users community for help. plus.google.com/communities/103736620166447167176
This was a huge help! I'm about to make a montage using Pinnacle, my only concern is that I won't be able to add smooth text into my cinematics, do you have any videos on those per chance?
Problem: When I've added a text, I cannot go on, because the playhead sticks to the place where I've added the text. When I try to put it elsewhere it jumps to that spot again. Any help appreciated!
+Jan R. Tislevoll Never heard of this. Post your question on my community to see if anyone else has experienced and fixed this issue. plus.google.com/communities/103736620166447167176
I wanted to know please if there is a mechanism I can make a person disappear in a video. Let's say my family sitting on a bench and then the bench is empty. Just an example. Thank you. I learned from your great videos already how to type and text over a video. I have Pinnacle 17. I appreciate your help.
Hiya Buddy Love ya Vids I am now moving on up from Pinnacle 12 Ultimate (yeah I know its olde Hat) but I am willing to learn from you Maliek. How now do I import from my camcorder to the system please? Keep up the good work, especially for us older Dudes, UK
as always great vid. question I would like to warp my text is there a way to do that? so that I may match it to a text on a picture and have it come from infinity out of the pic
You can warp your text in several ways using the effects under Motions and Emphasis. Not sure if you will find one that allows you to match text on a picture though.
Thanks for that! Question please: Different coloured and moving types, layers, I suppose? Thinking fast and groovy big BOLD fonts, Helvetica etc. One font on it's side etc.
So I should reset the program and it is new. I do apologize for not mentioning that I literally just installed the software and the only thing that is not working is the "titles". Oh the other this is this do you know how many dics should come in the box of software. Again thanks in advance for your help.
T T Vegas Sometimes things don't work as planned when you install the program. Since you just installed it you can try reinstalling the content files to see if that fixes it. If it doesn't resetting it is the next thing I'd do. Here is the link with the reset instructions in case you need it. www.pinnaclestudio.info/resetting_studio_18.html
Hey man, awesome video as always! I was wondering if it is possible to edit the text to make it move where I want it to move. Like adding a text over a moving person so the text will move with the person. Is this possible? Would be very thankfully if you could explain it.
S4Mir Appreciate the compliment. It is not possible. PS doesn't have motion tracking and you can't use keyframes on the text to move it where you want it.
Hello, I have a subtitle and text issue. Is there any way I could ask a question here or email somehow? I would really appreciate any suggestions. Thank you for all your great videos.
is there a way using PS (18, 19 or 21) to provide a light grey semi tranparent screen behind the white text , thus ensuring readability anywhere, even when the background on which the title overlays is brighter, whiter?
I was able to burn the disc, it shows the Motion thumbnail ( not how I set it ) when I go to scene selection .Still causes the Simulator to hang.But it worked. Thanks
Your videos are a LIFE SAVER!!! Need your help... please! I'm putting a video together for 8 exchange students from Japan. Any clue how I can use Japanese characters in the Text. The text settings box shows the Japanese characters, but the text on the screen only shows squares. Any help would be appreciated.
In order to view the text you have to select Japanese when you install the software. If you have already done that you may also need to change your system language to Japanese.
Hi once again, I have been playing around with your suggested fix of doing a quick import on the ixLook files into Pinnical, this did not work, as the extension type was not one of the listed ones for Video, picture, audio or project files, the only way was to change it to all files. I have by the way worked out how to save the title so that it can be used in future projects and that is to do a file save while the title is in the title editor, that file location is then registered in the control panel /storage locations/Titles. I am now able to save my title creations and use them in another project. Thank you for you help, until next time I have a question ( dont think it will be that long)
+John Buck So you need to change it to "All Files" to do this, then it will work. I have done it every time I update to the next version of Pinnacle Studio to bring my saved effects, titles, and more over to the new version of the software.
Believe it or not, I spent a year and a half from time to time trying to add a title, guided only by the useless User guide (which incidentally has no index). Today I found your video and within ten minutes of viewing it, I created a complex title. Thank you.

Appreciate that Michael R. Varney It's fans like you that keep me going. Can't expect everyone to like my style though. :-)
***** Their loss!
Another action packed segment. No one does it better (but I need to watch it over and over again...I guess I'm slow!)
Hi Maliek,
You tried to change once and I thought you were unwell. Please stay the way you are, I enjoy your tutorials and am glad they are available free because I keep forgetting parts of what I have learned and have to re-visit from time to time. You are the friendly face that helps me achieve!
Thank you for your kind words Kathy Roberts It's subscribers like you that keep me going.

Another great tutorial. About three shortcuts I was ignoring!! Thanks.
Glad I was able to give you some new tips.
Hi, thanks for all of your help. I'm working with Pinnacle Studio 19. You explain everything so clear for everyone to understand!
Thanks for your videos. I've used many of them so far to know how to do anything. Right now I'm doing PIP and Text, both because of your videos. :)
Christian A I'm so pleased I've been able to help you on your video editing journey.
I love the fact that you're the main guy for these tutorials XD. Super helpful and straight forward by the way, thanks! :D
Happy to help. I'm only the _main guy_ due to my Pinnacle Peeps watching my videos. I don't work for Pinnacle. :-)
I love your accent and thank you so much for all your time and the input--explaining how to take advantage of this graphic software, it saved me time.

All I can say is Thank you. You are Da Man. Great tutorials. I would have never figured out half of this stuff via the manual.
Great to know that I have been so much help to you. Thanks for watching my tuts Joe Ferris :-)

Hello! +PinnacleStudioPro :)
I have a problem, so I thought you would know the answer.
So when I add a photo or a video to main editing screen,
I go to text editor menu,
but can't see the "Your Text Here" tittle.
Why? Because it is under the photo or video, but why?
How do I get it on to the photo/video?
(no matter that have you recorded the video with a camera or screen recorder)
This problem didn't show up when I just bought the PS 18.
But now it has revealed itself.
It works on Normal User account as it needs to work,
but on Administators Account I cannot Add a Text On To The Video.
Help would be needed! 😊
lol at the intro

They created their text in 1080 in Final Cut and now when I drop my text in from Pinnacle Studio 20 the resolution of that text is noticeably lower on the big screen in 1080p. Is there a way to control the resolution of the text created in Pinnacle?
Thumbs up from Holland man!
+Frank B Thanks. :-)
Yes, I STILL use Pinnacle 18 Ultimate... LOL!
Anyway, I tried Pinnacle 20, but I went back to 18, be cause I have the ultimate version.
Anyway, this is where Pinnacle really drops the ball in video editing.
While the title editing is AWESOME! The text editing is pretty basic at best...
I'd love to see more text editing choices in the future.
It's so odd that there are so many choices to scroll text, there's absolutly nothing to choose from as to animating the text...
Thank you for all your help with the teaching of pinnacle.
Please can we have more NewBlueFX "how to" videos ?
Thanks
Sure can. As a matter of fact here is one using a NewBlueFX that I uploaded yesterday.

If you are not a subscriber then you may want to sub so that you are notified when I upload a new video. :-)
Happy New Year!

Thanks for the tutorial. Can you show how you make the red arrows that you use to point things out on the screen? I spent a ton of hours on the net to figure it out, but can't find any reference to it.
Thanks
I use Camtasia screen recorder.
Hahaha .... I like the way you speak, so we can understand, thanks for the great info .. Peace.. : )
+Glimros :-)
Thanks so much, you make it understandable and easy. Love you ---
+Susan Swenson Aww, how nice. Thank you. :-)
How do you add call outs and the red arrows and lines in your video? Great instruction. Thanks
I use my screen capture software Camtasia to add those items to my videos.
Very Informative! Thank you for the help!
I appreciate all the info that u give.
Great job, looking to extend how long the text remains on the screen between the enter and exit
Excellent tutorial. Thanks for sharing. 👍😁
who complains about how you speak?....your videos are great!
photomanbill Thanks. Unfortunately not everyone likes how I speak. Different strokes...
Well, after all these years...you're still the man! I always think that you kinda invented Avid! ;)
I'm still working with Avid Studio and I like to use a line of text that is moving. Like moving with a subject in the video. You have a nice tip for me? Thanks again for your great tutorials! You should win the big cup!
+Frank Muusz Thanks for the kind words. :-)
Off the top of my head I would add 2D Editor Advanced to the title you created and keyframe the position to follow the subject.
+PinnacleStudioPro Well, there's nothing wrong with the top of your head my man! Worked just fine! Thanks a lot! And by the looks of it Avid 18/19 does practically work the same as Avid Studio? Keep up the great work dude! 👍
First off, I really appreciate you taking the time to post your tutorial videos...you're doing an awesome job. My question is this; is there anyway to remove or decrease the background noise. I'm making a training video and using a Sony DCR-SX40 Camcorder. In between the speaking parts of the video, there is a rather loud patch of white noise. Thanks for any help you can provide.
+gunnyphi Pinnacle is not good at audio editing. It has features for removing noise but they are not that effective. Pinnacle comes with a free program called izotope which others have said works great at removing noise. I have not used izotope successfully. You can find out more about it on the Pinnacle Studio forum. forums.pinnaclesys.com/forums/242/ShowForum.aspx
This helped me tons. Thanks. They ain't nothin' wrong with the way you talk, either.
Your speaking is great!! (And your comments and asides are hilarious!) During those seconds of silence, I had to check my computer and its settings; I thought I had accidentally muted the sound.
As always, very helpful information. Do the lightly inscribed rectangles in the text editor mean anything other than to provide a positioning guide?
Catherine Pankow Thanks for the kind words. I love entertaining my viewers. The rectangles are for positioning. They are called safe zones. Basically you should keep your text inside of the safe zone to ensure it will be visible on HD or SD displays.
perfect intro! thanks for the great videos :)
This is an excellent tutorial.
Love your videos! They've been very helpful to me. I have a question that I have not been able to figure out. If I'm working on a project and decide I want to insert something in the middle of the timeline. How do I create a space in the center but still keep all the work I've done on the tracks forward without changing them. I know I can move each track separately by dragging. But how do I tie multiple tracks together and move them all at he same time.
I've been using this product for years and haven't figured that out yet. Thanks and keep making videos!!
If you have PS Plus or Ultimate you can change the timeline mode. Under the Preview Window all the way over to the right you will see an orange icon on the toolbar that looks like a magic wand. If you click on it and change it to Overwrite Mode everything will stay in place when you add clips anywhere in the timeline. If you change it to Insert Mode it will move everything over when you add something to the middle of the timeline. If you have it on Smart Mode Pinnacle tries to figure out what to do for you. Hope this helps.
I wish the video content started faster on your videos, (because by the time I am searching for a tutorial, it is because I tried to figure it out on my own, and can't and want a fast solution!), but other than that, these video tutorials are great!!!
Thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching.
Thanks, I love your tutorials man. Thanks for sharing. . What did you use to create the brief introduction to this tutorial where you see the rotating spinning 3D text and then the explosion? Was this done with Pinnacle? How do you do this at the very beginning?
+Fugitive136 MY intros are created with Adobe After Effects. You need compositing software to do things like that. I use Pinnacle to edit all of my videos clips.
1:21 and I already got my answer. Thank ! Had my whole vid in track one, and put title in track 2 not knowing the difference.
+Veikra Yep, that was the response I gave you in your other comment. Title needs to be on the top timeline track above all other clips. :-)
thank!
I really enjoy your videos just have a quick question, is there a certain amount of layers I can have in the title?
Not that I know of. Is it not allowing you to pass a certain number of layers? If it is then I guess there is a restriction. :-(
PinnacleStudioPro after a few motion layers the remaining motiom layers just won't correctly.
Another GREAT Tutorial, i love it!!!
Thanks Paul Buchanan
Great job, once again. Thank you!
You're welcome. :-)
hello, I enjoy the man walking from the tree video. Is there away I can do the opposite have the people disappear or fade away with a straight shot with no pole, no wall. Just people passing by and if not is there away people can please disappear into the tree. Thank you. Love your videos!
The person can disappear as long as the shot is static with nothing changing in it. They can disappear into the tree the same way as they walk out of the tree.
+Jill R my response said nothing about text.
I love the training. Could you add Studio 25 Title Editing?
This was great and I think your voice is Kewl. Only problem is I thought I did all you said but when I clicked on T the text box came up but the video clip was not seen just a black background. What did I do wrong? I'm using PS16U.
thanks for posting this. I did learn a lot from it, and now my video presentations look a sight more professional. The silence at the start is most inspirational, even if it does have an American accent. LOL
LOL! Thanks for watching. I'm glad I was able to help improve your videos.
Great video. Thanks!
Is there a way in Pinnacle to lock a text to a moving object? Like if I'm have a centered object (ie. camera) and slowly spin the video around it, have a text saying "12 Zoom" at one side while it spins? Thanks again
Paolo Ma No, there isn't a way to do that. :-(
Gracias muy buena tu explicacion.
De nada Juan Daniel Meza
Hi, excellent tutorial, answered many questions I had (being a man and previous user of Pinnacle, I jumped straight in without understanding everything!)
However, I have a couple of issues I hope you can help with. I'm using Pinnacle Studio 18 Ultimate:
1. When I add a title to a clip, and then watch the title, the video underneath jumps back a fraction of a second. So you see a clip, then when the title appears you see the same clip. I just want a smooth title over running footage, any ideas?
I can upload a video if it helps?
2. Using the snapshot tool, I have a similar problem. I click on the button when I'm at the section of footage I want a still of, but the image it grabs is for up to 4 seconds earlier! Any ideas on that please?
Dave Horney Might be best to post videos or screen shots of your issues as I have not encountered either one. You can post them to my users community for help. plus.google.com/communities/103736620166447167176
This was a huge help! I'm about to make a montage using Pinnacle, my only concern is that I won't be able to add smooth text into my cinematics, do you have any videos on those per chance?
No, I have nothing on that type of tutorial.
PinnacleStudioPro okay, thank you!
Problem: When I've added a text, I cannot go on, because the playhead sticks to the place where I've added the text. When I try to put it elsewhere it jumps to that spot again. Any help appreciated!
+Jan R. Tislevoll Never heard of this. Post your question on my community to see if anyone else has experienced and fixed this issue. plus.google.com/communities/103736620166447167176
I wanted to know please if there is a mechanism I can make a person disappear in a video. Let's say my family sitting on a bench and then the bench is empty. Just an example. Thank you. I learned from your great videos already how to type and text over a video. I have Pinnacle 17. I appreciate your help.
I always learn something new! Thanks.
Glad to a young dog new tricks. :-)
Hiya Buddy Love ya Vids
I am now moving on up from Pinnacle 12 Ultimate (yeah I know its olde Hat) but I am willing to learn from you Maliek. How now do I import from my camcorder to the system please?
Keep up the good work, especially for us older Dudes, UK
Connect your camcorder via USB and click on the Import tab. Select Camera and it should recognize your device and allow you to import the footage.
as always great vid. question I would like to warp my text is there a way to do that? so that I may match it to a text on a picture and have it come from infinity out of the pic
You can warp your text in several ways using the effects under Motions and Emphasis. Not sure if you will find one that allows you to match text on a picture though.
thanks man you the boy i lern to mach from you even my pinacle is in spanic
like the way you speak too!! thanks for info.~~
Thanks for that! Question please: Different coloured and moving types, layers, I suppose? Thinking fast and groovy big BOLD fonts, Helvetica etc. One font on it's side etc.
So I should reset the program and it is new. I do apologize for not mentioning that I literally just installed the software and the only thing that is not working is the "titles". Oh the other this is this do you know how many dics should come in the box of software. Again thanks in advance for your help.
T T Vegas Sometimes things don't work as planned when you install the program. Since you just installed it you can try reinstalling the content files to see if that fixes it. If it doesn't resetting it is the next thing I'd do. Here is the link with the reset instructions in case you need it. www.pinnaclestudio.info/resetting_studio_18.html
Hello im using PS 20. In title editor my text editing box goes back of video please help
Hey man, awesome video as always!
I was wondering if it is possible to edit the text to make it move where I want it to move.
Like adding a text over a moving person so the text will move with the person. Is this possible? Would be very thankfully if you could explain it.
S4Mir Appreciate the compliment.
It is not possible. PS doesn't have motion tracking and you can't use keyframes on the text to move it where you want it.
Alright, too bad. Thanks for the quick response.
Thanks, great video.
Hello,
I have a subtitle and text issue. Is there any way I could ask a question here or email somehow?
I would really appreciate any suggestions.
Thank you for all your great videos.
How do you make that explosion intro with your logo? Can you point me in that direction?
Thanks
+Dustin Campion I created that intro using After Effects. I don't do After Effects tutorials.
+PinnacleStudioPro thanks for the reply !
is there a way using PS (18, 19 or 21) to provide a light grey semi tranparent screen behind the white text , thus ensuring readability anywhere, even when the background on which the title overlays is brighter, whiter?
I was able to burn the disc, it shows the Motion thumbnail ( not how I set it ) when I go to scene selection .Still causes the Simulator to hang.But it worked.
Thanks
thank you dude
Thanks....I missed your "Lets get into it"
Dang, I forgot to say that on this one. My bad. Gotta have my catch phrase. :-)
You do great work...thanks.
Your videos are a LIFE SAVER!!! Need your help... please! I'm putting a video together for 8 exchange students from Japan. Any clue how I can use Japanese characters in the Text.
The text settings box shows the Japanese characters, but the text on the screen only shows squares. Any help would be appreciated.
In order to view the text you have to select Japanese when you install the software. If you have already done that you may also need to change your system language to Japanese.
Hi once again, I have been playing around with your suggested fix of doing a quick import on the ixLook files into Pinnical, this did not work, as the extension type was not one of the listed ones for Video, picture, audio or project files, the only way was to change it to all files. I have by the way worked out how to save the title so that it can be used in future projects and that is to do a file save while the title is in the title editor, that file location is then registered in the control panel /storage locations/Titles. I am now able to save my title creations and use them in another project. Thank you for you help, until next time I have a question ( dont think it will be that long)
+John Buck So you need to change it to "All Files" to do this, then it will work. I have done it every time I update to the next version of Pinnacle Studio to bring my saved effects, titles, and more over to the new version of the software.
Thank you Sir!!! You are a life saver!
Fabulous instruction. Love it.
+fmob69 Thank you.
