Re: How do I map a texture to every character in a Text2D no

Is this not possible?

Also, can I apply a texture to multiple lines? For example, a texture that fades from white at the top to red at the bottom. If I have multiple lines in a single node, the texture is placed across the ENTIRE block, not each line of text.

Scene Layer scales incorrectly if percentages different

Here's what I did to recreate the issue I am seeing in 5.1.1.71. I made a very "simple" scene that has a 2D image layer (which is full screen) and a 3D layer, that has the same image colored differently but also full screen. I added a mover to fade the 3D image on/off. If I create a new sc...

Font will not load in Ventuz 5 - Works fine in Ventuz 4

I have a TTF font in a scene I created in Ventuz 4. Simple Block Text node. No warnings/etc when the scene loads in Ventuz 4 and it displays correctly. If I try loading that same font file into a new scene in Ventuz 5 (or even the existing scene from V4), I get an error message saying "Unable t...

ShrinkToFit on Enriched Text Block node trashes Style

Ventuz version 4.05.08.22 (similar behavior in v.5.0.0.11)
Windows 7

Using a ShrinkToFit node on an Enriched Text Block trashes the style when actively shrinking the text.

Attached example shows how it changes a black drop shadow to the color of the text.

How do I map a texture to every character in a Text2D node?

Is there a way to apply a texture to 2D text on a character by character basis? Say for instance I have a simple 100x100 pixel texture that goes from red in the center to blue at the outside. Can I map this texture to each character in a Text2D node? I've already tried modifying the scaling and UV p...

Need to move directional lighting with 3D text

Is it possible to reposition a directional light with a piece of 3D text? For example, say I have a very simple scene with a single word of 3D text with a beveled face at the bottom of the screen. I have it lit with a directional light source pointing slightly down. If I move that text to the top of...

Re: How to get proper fill/key using SDI broadcast license

For future reference, the solution was to use an Alpha Blending node with the associated Quicktime.

How to get proper fill/key using SDI broadcast license

I'm having an issue getting the proper fill out of a Quicktime Animation. I'm using a broadcast license and an AJA Kona SDI board that outputs both the fill and key. The Quicktime has a fill that is a gradient from white to black. The key is grey, which make it semi-transparent. The fill should pass...

Is there an elegant way to exit Presenter?

Can Presenter be quit in a more elegant way than killing it in Task Manager? Can it be done via Remoting or some key sequence?

Re: OpenType font will not load

It looks like I may have solved the problem by importing the font into the project. I had been successfully referencing other fonts by name without the need to import them and never thought this might be the issue.
