HI Nat, i am aware of the (limited) drag-sizing option, but as we know it´s not really helpfull with it´s limitations and the text truncating bug... But i would like to higlight the benefits of a drag-sizeable & bug-free text box, as the real-time updating function is verry useful in direct editind and formating. I think that it would be counterintuitive and overcomplicating the "text item" function to work in three ("add text" window, edit box, "font size&style box") separate windos/areas. I would propose to merge all theese functions in one embedded area, specifically in the "edit text box" under the Video Frame. Best regards, Martin

Hi Connor, It would be awesome if the "tiny three-line-high text box" would be ajustable in size, like most areas in the GUI. It would also be verry convenient if it would accept the mouse scroll wheel to scroll the text! I guess that the option to open another dialog box would be good, if combined with the above features. I like the "tiny three-line-high text box" as it shows the text change immediately, what would probably not be the case in a popup dialog... Thanks & greets, Martin

Hi Connor, whell then i guess i found a bug... After tinkering around, i found that the text count IS unlimited IF i enter the desired text in the "Add new text clip" window, and do not change the text in the "edit text clip string" box. If i alter/insert/edit the text in this box, it gets crippled unfortunately... Can you confirm this bug, or is it possible that my installation is corrupt? I use v3.04 free on a pc running Win7. Best Regards, Martin

Hi Nat, First of all thank you verry much for your reply! i am clear about the formating of the text, as in font size respective to the Framesize. And, nope, i was not using subtitles Before i red your post, i used to "Add Text"->ok and then insert/edit the text in the box under the frame window. Now i tried a different approach: I inserted/edited the text in the "Add Text" window, hit ok and all is fine. That is, if i don´t touch the text again in the edit box under the frame window afterwards. If i do this, my text gets crippled as before... If it makes sence, i´ll make a screen cap video of the behaviour... But i am still unclear if this is a free version cripple or a bug in this release... What version of VideoPad do you use? Best regards, Martin

Hi again, i just stumbled upon the v3.04 release notes, quoting: http://nch.invisionzone.com/index.php?/topic/19834-videopad-304-released/page__hl__text Whell, is this wrong, or is it just the limitation of the free version i am experiencing above? Regards, Martin Siemensz

Hi Cnr! i just got an issue with Text-clips. Does this apply to the free version aswell? My text seems to get cut/crippled after 5 lines, as described in: http://nch.invisionzone.com/index.php?/topic/20008-limited-text-issue-in-text-clips/page__hl__text Best regadrs, Martin Siemensz

Hi everyone! i was extremely happy to have found VideoPad, as it gives me the ops i want for editing home videos like i want, after some discouraging experience with other apps. But today i hit a limit... I use Text-clips to add storynarration (i know, pretty old-fashioned), but it seems that the clips are limited to a certain ammount of characters/lines per clip...? After 5 lines my text gets cut/crippled, regardles of how big i set my fonts. This also happens if i let the text scroll, whitch makes scrolling pretty pointless...right? I am thinking of editing the text in a separate programm->save as image->enter to VideoPad but this i a pretty big hassle in comparsion to editing in VideoPad. So here´s my question: Is there any option to ajust the max character count per Text-clip? Or any sugested workarounds? Best regards from Berlin, Martin Siemensz PS: i use VideoPad v 3.04 Unlicensed Basic Free Version
