Media Generator KeyFrame - HOW?

[producer]

Hi everybody,
I made a title using Video Media Generators -> (Legacy Plug-In) Video Factory Text, where I can adjust Text, Background, Shadow and Outline. Ok, but would somebody tell me how to make keyframes, so that to let the letters move (for example)? When I move the timeline cursor, just nothing is happened, i.e. it is not like when using the track motion when need to make keyframes. So, I just can't synchronize with the video when need to add a keyframe. So, any help?

Hi,

If you want the keyframe timline to be in sync with the main timeline Click the button in the text interface which is below the small timeline there. The first button in the row which has the + and - diamond shaped buttons. Those 2nd and other buttons are to create the keyframes themselves. Im assuming you know how to do that. However the first button will make the keyframe timeline and your main timeline in sync. Then if you scrub on the main timeline the keyframe timeline cursor will also reposition itself frame accurately.

Just in case you didnt know. You move to the correct position by scrubbing. Then make a change to the text size etc in the text parameters box. You will find a keyframe automatically appears wherever the cursor was. There are different states a key frame can have. Right click on a keyframe to see those options. For example hold will chage it into red. Such a keyframe will hold its state and parameters right till the next keyframe is reached and will not gradually ramp into the next keyframe setting. Some of these options will do the opposite. Try them out. You will figure them out in no time.

Hope this helps.

That Sync button doesn't work with generated media.
