Adding text

[captainjon]

Hi,

I've downloaded some tutorials and looked on the forums, but I cant work out

how to add text. I can add another graphic, but not text.

Is this a secret as it is not mentioned anywhere I can see!

thanks,

Jon

Hi Jon,

There are several features not yet activated in PTE 5.

The add text feature is one of them.

PTE v5 is still in beta stage.

I tried to make a list of what's missing in PTE v5 (compared with last stable version, ie v4.48):

go have a look here.

Hi,

Where can I download 4.48, or is it not worth using compared to v5.

Many thanks,

Jon

Hi Jon,

You can download the release product (4.48) from:

http://www.wnsoft.com

and it is an excellent program. The difference is that the present release version doesn't have the Ken Buns Effects (Pan, Zoom, Rotate). If you want these effects right now, you need to use the beta version 7.

It is very easy to create text using Photoshop, etc., as a transparent PNG file. If you tell us a bit more about how you wish to use the text, then we can direct you to instructions on how to easily create PNG text effects which you can use just as any image with Pan, Zoom, Rotate, variable transparency, etc. There are advantages to doing it this way especially if you like fancy fonts which may not reside on other computers because the text becomes a "picture'" of text or a graphic file which doesn't change between various computers.

Best regards,

Lin
