seashell Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Hi Members Completing my first video edit today and ready to hit "Save" (or render) button. I would kindly like to know if there is a way to enlarge and reduce the font size of the text when I'm creating Titles and/or Credits? I know how to utilize the slider that is labeled as "Size" located in the clip preview window but this method is not easy. I have to move the mouse ever so slightly to obtain the exact font size that is appropriate and doing so I overshoot the desired text size. Is there another method to obtaining an exact font or text size? For example, how do I obtain an exact 14 pt. "Times New Roman" for text size? I already know how to choose the font type , its just the exact font "size" that is difficult to master as I move the slider either left or right. I am using VideoPad version 2.41 Windows 7 Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougie Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 What version of Videopad are you using? If it's 3.xx then I assume you are using Add Text to write your credits. Once written, place the text in the left preview screen (if it isn't there already). Then click on the big T at the bottom of the screen. The text size setting is in there.

seashell Posted April 16, 2013 Author Share Posted April 16, 2013 Hi Dougie, I'm using version 2.41 Windows 7 I don't see a big "T" in version 2.41 Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougie Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Sorry, I haven't used 2.41 in a while now. One of the big guns will probably answer this shortly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damian Lettie Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 I don't see a big "T" in version 2.41 The slider was the only way to adjust the font size of a text overlay in v2.41. The Text Attributes dialog, with the numerical input, was introduced in v3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seashell Posted April 16, 2013 Author Share Posted April 16, 2013 Hi nchdl, Thank you kindly. I am ready to render my file but I just can't get the text "size" slider to stop at the acceptable font size needed. The text is either too large or too small. What is really strange is the text will get larger as I move the slider to the last possible position "to the left" which normally results in the smallest font size. Otherwise it's a fantastic program! Oh well..... I'll have to plan on version 3 at some point. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
