Re: Video to ASCII effect

Ok, thanks Patrick, step in the right direction. I was missing the slash on the return tag.

I now have some text that looks like it's being driven by the video. The issue I'm having now is that it seems to be having problems justifying it. The variable width of the characters make it so the lines come to different lengths.

I thought the way to overcome this would be to set the field to "justify all" in paragraph, however when I do this I get what looks sort of like some weird word wrap which screws up the whole deal.

I thought maybe the cause of this was that the characters were too closely spaced so they were getting pushed onto the next line despite the justification, but this seems to happen until I set the number of collumns down to a ridiculously low number (like 10) and there's huge spaces in between each letter.

You'd think maybe that would be a problem with my tracking being set too high, but it's set to 0.

Any ideas?
