Text Alignment

[mfetterhoff]

Hello boardmembers

What am I doing wrong?

In Objects & Animation window, I have 5 sentences which fade in at regular intervals.

I'm having difficulty keeping the sentences aligned in a perfect column. I align all sentences to the left

and use the grid. However, on playback, one or two sentences are always slightly out of alignment

with the other sentences.

Using 5.5

Try viewing at 100% in O&A?

Instead of adding text in PTE, add it to 5 JPEGs in Photoshop building up one line at a time - the effect will be the same.

I have found that this issue is relevent to the screen format on DVD Playback. (Aspect Ratio)

The text is out of alignment when the DVD is viewed on widescreen only. When

viewed on regular cheapo television, the alignment is fine.

Is there a way to remedy this by altering how I create the DVD?

In Pte Project Options| Screen... did you build your show with widescreen pc or dvd screen aspect ratio ?

Thanks..

I threw the project into widescreen, then realigned the text. Playback looked great. Created the avi, then burned the disk.

But on disk playback, there was no change. Text still not aligned.

Something in the avi creation process is knocking the text out of alignment.

Have you tried putting the text into a frame (Parent/Child)?
