Text in Premiere Pro 1.5

More detail please...are you using the titler?

Centering can be achieved by right-clicking the text object and selecting (I think it's "position">) "horizontal center" or "vertical center"

When you say it's being cut off...what exactly do you mean? Cropped?

Is the crop visible, or is the text outside of the viewable area of a monitor?

Ok..I am not sure what that means? How can I fix this problem?
I am thankful for all the help you can offer.

What are the names cut off by? The edge of the television? Does there look like there is space and something invisible is cutting the edge where you can see it?

On centering...when you right-click the text, there will be a drop-down menu that will open from that spot, go down to "position"...then pick the one you want-"horizontal" or "vertical"...I'd assume with a ROLL (a scroll moves horizontally and from what you are saying, it seems you must be doing a roll), you'd want "horizontal."

[blondie4fun] "Thanks again for the help
The beginning of the names are being cut off when I view it on the TV..I can see it ok on the editer but not on the TV"


OK, you've said that, but in order to help you I need an answer to my question. Is the text cut off by the physical edge of the TV screen, or can you see the edge where it's cut off as if some invisible thing is covering the text? Is it cut off on the top or the sides? ...or both?

"The beginning of the names are cut off when I view it on the TV" wasn't enough information for me the first time...repeating it gives me no additional insight. I need these detail questions to be answered.

The zones you see in the titler are "viewable area" guides. They exist so that graphics and content don't go so close to the edge of the screen that they end up behind the plastic bezel on you television set. If your titles are running out beyond those white borders, you need to get them inside to be viewable on a wide variety of televison sets. Befor you post again, verify that your titles are inside these zones.

As far as the center problem, once done typing words click the selection tool(looks like mouse arrow) right click on text-go to position-sub menu pops up-select center horizontal- do all that again and select center vertical, should be perfectly centered.

Make sure your text stays inside inner white box.

so everything is ok now?
