Copying and pasting text into text media generator
I should be able to copy and paste text into the text media generator window shouldn't I?

Re: Copying and pasting text into text media generator
Hi Renton
Yep no problem...however just be aware that pasted text usually doesn't conform to the current settings on the media generator...if it's set to say, Arial 72p and you copy text from Notepad which happens to be 10p Times Roman ...that will be applied so you need to highlight your pasted text and choose the correct font and size.

Re: Copying and pasting text into text media generator
Hi Renton
In Media Generators I just went to Text and dragged the default text onto the timeline and deleted the words "Sample Text" and did a ControlV to paste in my already copied text..it worked fine!! However that's on 10E ..I cannot vouch for 11 ..it has some strange quirks that's why I never upgraded!! Chris |

Re: Copying and pasting text into text media generator
Does 10e have 'text and titles'? 11 has the two options I gave...

Re: Copying and pasting text into text media generator
Renton, Pro 10 only has the regular text generator.
'text and titles' was added in Pro 11. |

Re: Copying and pasting text into text media generator
CTRL-V worked just fine for me in Sony Titles & Text.

Re: Copying and pasting text into text media generator
This had me once confused too, because I expected to see "Paste" when I RMB to see the menu and "Paste" was not to be seen. I never guessed that Ctrl V is all I needed to do. IOW, it's not intuitive.

Re: Copying and pasting text into text media generator
OK... CTRL-V works in Titles and Text. When I RMB in 'Titles and Text' I don't only not get a 'paste' option, I don't get a menu either.
What is the difference between these two media generators...except for the input of data talked about? |

Re: Copying and pasting text into text media generator
And I never notice the RMB not there because I always use CTRL-C/CTRL-V to copy/paste.
Yes, if you RMB then the option is not there. If you just CTRL-V, it will work fine.

Re: Copying and pasting text into text media generator
I think Paste should be in the RMB menu because the copying process starts there -- for most people it's expected because this is common practice.
