Hi. I'm having a problem overlaying a text track onto a video track. I want the
text to appear in various positions in the movie frame. The method I used to
position the text within the frame was ye olde spacebar and return key. That
was the only way I could find to position text, without having many, many
different text tracks. I am using Quicktime Player Pro to import images and
a Quicktime text file. (I wrote about this problem a month ago, but in the
intervening period I've purchased a new Mac, had its CD drive go bad, transferred
files from old to new, and misplaced a bunch of email, including the replies.
sorry.)
The problem is that different browsers render the spacing in the text track
differently, so that sometimes text near the bottom gets shoved off the bottom
of the frame and isn't visible. Text which is properly positioned on my work
machine is improperly positioned on Windows machines and even on some other Macs.
I specify font sizes in the text file that Quicktime imports, and I used
Helevetica, which I think is the most universal font. Nothing works. The movie
is essentially an attempt to merge a poem with some images. It is on the Web
at: http://homepage.mac.com/bsharvy/dejaindex.html
My next attempted solution was to convert the text track to a PNG compressed
video track. I can't get the parts of the text track which are supposed to be
transparent to be transparent. Depending on graphics mode, the area is either
white or blended, or the entire track, including text, disappears. I'm using
the Quicktime Player Pro for all this.
Finallly, how do I get these emails in one digest form, instead of as individual
emails cluttering up my mailbox?????
