Center of a sentence within the text layer

Hi all

I would like to focus a sentence within a text layer for example I have two phrases within a text layer and one of them, I want to be centered in the layer itself

Is it possible to do?

I don't know that I follow. If you want two centered sentences then create a text box by clicking and dragging in the pane of the model with the text tool, start to type, define the Center paragraph style and then make sure that the point anchor and position of the text layer are centred.

Another way is to use the shortcut Alt/Option + Ctrl / Cmnd + shift + T to add a new text layer or just use the menu layer and add a new layer of text and the cursor will be centered in the Panel of the model which have not messed you with the base line. With the "centered" applied paragraph style you will be have a centered text.

With the latest version of AE, you can add an expression to the position that calculates the area of a text field and then aligns the text field in the Panel of the model. If you really fancy, you can watch the size of a text field and offset as well vertically. I don't have the time to write this expression for you, but it is possible.

  • Apply a gradient within the text?

    in CS5, how can I ask a gradient within the text?

    Thank you.

    Many things come to mind: using filters. warping selections, getting a different gradient for each letter, without creating separately, masking, etc..

    Of course, most of this does not apply if you create your gradient as a layer of setting (the black and white circle in the layers palette)

    The best suggestion: play with all the options, you will get their benefits!

  • I use an iMac with El Capitan and Photoshop CS6. I'm trying to add a shadow to a text on a picture. I followed the instructions to double the text layer but not dropshadow dialog box appears and I can't. Where would it be?

    Double click on the text on the right side of the display panel does not cause a dialog box open. I just need to know where the dialog box is so I can add the drop shadow

    Please make sure that you double-click on the text layer in the layer panel not the name of the layer. With the text, it can be difficult if the name is too long. You can also right-click on the text layer in the Panel and bring up the contextual menu and select 'blending Options '.

  • Make the text layer transparent logo

    Hello

    I want to create a logo with the text layer and the background transparent (so that both are found with the gray and white square)

    I have it done before, but when I now create the circle logo, create the text, then use magic want to select the text you want to delete and make them transparent, he said: I can't edit without pixelation of the image.

    Once I did I use the magic wand to try to make it transparent, it removes the text and watch only the circle.

    Can someone give me a step by step guide?

    The attached picture is the effect I want to create with transparent lettering.

    Thank you in advance!

    You get the error because you are trying to remove pixels from your text layer.

    When you have the choice of characters, activate the layer with the circle, then click on remove. (Hide your text layer when finished)

    BTW better (than the magic wand) to select the text is in control, click on the thumbnail for the text layer.

  • You cannot change the text layer

    I am trying to change a word in a layer, but whenever I click on this word a new layer comes and I can't access the text in the layer I want.  What I am doing wrong?

    According to the guidelines of the screenshot you provided, it seems the text layer was rasterized or flattened, you can't get back to edit mode.

  • Start the text layer (using the text tool) of the current-time indicator - Adobe after effects CC

    It's something that would drastically improve the speed of my workflow. When I click inside a composition using the text tool, the text layer is always positioned at the beginning of the composition.

    Is it possible to make the text layer from the current-time indicator, so don't constantly do defiler to the beginning of the composition and drag the text layer forward in the desired position?

    Thank you very much.

    There is a preference: create layers at Composition Start Time.

  • Text glow effect disappears when the layers are placed in the text layer. Need help!

    Whenever I have add a layer of white or a white shape under my text layer, the glow on the text layer will show is no longer.  I can't get the glow on the text appears on a transparent background. I use Photoshop in CS3.

    Glow in the first photo, no glow in the second when white layer under the text layer.

    text with glow.jpg

    no glow over white layer.jpg

    Hello

    Default Outter Glow has the screen as it has blend mode. on a white background, you need to change to a different mix (normal color, more dark, multiply, or whatever you prefer, experience with some doubt)

    I suggest leaving the white background on all tweaking and if you need output, turn off the white layer before saving transparent

    Please post if this does not resolve the problem for you

  • How to get the color of the text information in the text layer?

    How to get the color of the text information in the text layer?  I mean using scripts Photoshop, Version of Photoshop CS 8.0

    The color textItem is readable for me in VBS Note expects the activeLayer be a textLayer and displays the HexValue of the color of the text.

    Option Explicit
    
    Dim appRef
    Dim docRef
    Dim textItemRef
    Dim artLayerRef
    Dim textColor
    
    Set appRef = CreateObject( "Photoshop.Application" )
    
    appRef.BringToFront
    
    Set docRef = appRef.ActiveDocument
    Set artLayerRef = docRef.ActiveLayer
    Set textItemRef = artLayerRef.TextItem
    Set textColor = textItemRef.Color
    
    MsgBox textColor.RGB.HexValue
    

    And returns the color of the text if the text is the same color. But if the text is more than a color textItem.color returns only the color of the first text range.

  • Noob question - apply a texture to the text layer

    I tried looking for the answer, but probably do not know the right keywords to use, but how to apply a texture (image) to only appear above a certain layer as a text layer?  Which means I want the texture to show only text and not anywhere else.

    Use the texture layer as a track matte for the text layer.

  • AppleScript cannot change the font of the text layer

    I used Applescript to create a text layer and specify its properties, but when I specify the font I get a compilation error:

    Impossible to define 'class NTR' to 'TradeGothic-Bold ". Unauthorized access.

    That sounds like a kind of permission error.

    Here is a little simplified script:

    Tell application "Adobe Photoshop CS4"

    say current document

    do new layer of art Properties {name: "File name", type:text layer}

    say the text object layer of art 1

    the value {content, size, stroke color, position, type} {"thefilename", 12, {class:RGB hexadecimal color, hexadecimal value: 'CC0000'}, {2, 12}, text of paragraph}

    set the font to "TradeGothic-"BOLD""

    tell the end

    tell the end

    tell the end

    If I put the police manually and use 'get properties of the text object in layer art 1', the Script Editor returns (with a long list of other properties):

    "" police: 'TradeGothic-"BOLD".

    so I think that I've specified the name of the font correctly at least. In the list of properties returned by the Script Editor, the font is blue like above, but all other property names are purple. It's I have to say something.

    Well, after some trial and error, I answered my own question. Here's what worked:

    Tell application "Adobe Photoshop CS4"

    tell the active document

    new layer art with properties {name: "File Name", layer type: text}

    the text of the layer 1 of the art of storytelling

    the value {content, size, stroke color, position, type} {"thefilename", 12, {class hex color: RGB, hex value: 'CC0000'}, {2, 12}, paragraph text}

    tell the end

    set the font for the text of art layer 1 to "TradeGothic-"Bold"object

    tell the end

    tell the end

    Maybe someone who understands OOP and/or better than I do, may explain why it worked and my first try didn't.

  • "ESC" on the text layer is removal of text like old Photoshop

    I have got so accustomed to the use of the ESC key to go back to the pointer tool once I've finished writing a text layer, I can't not do that without losing the text I've written since the update to Photoshop CC 2015.

    No idea why they changed it, but editing preferences-> Type of-> and check the box to use ESC to validate the text

  • New default length for the text layer

    Whenever I have add a new image or a text layer, it goes the entire length of the model. Can I change so that it will only a few images by default?

    You can set it in the AE preferences.  But if you're dealing with a group of layers of text or still images, and they are believed to have different lengths, it can get to be a real pain.

    Many people find more easy just use the keyboard shortcuts for the value of the layer in & points: opt/alt-[for the point in opt/alt] - to the out point.  He works for several layers, too: just select the ones you want before using keyboard shortcuts.

  • Is it possible to save the text layer only to add several PDF?

    I create one editable sheet of labels.

    Once, I create all the text boxes and placed correctly, I wish I could add this text layer for the other sheets of labels with the same layout... without having to start from scratch.  Is this possible?

    Hope that someone knows the secret

    You can use the function of replacement pages.

  • Set different font sizes for certain parts of the text layer?

    I am a novice as AE is going, but I'm working on a script to dynamically change a project.

    The project in question has a text layer has a single string, but with variable font size (the text is a price, where the hundred part is a smaller font to the different initial values).   I want to use a script to change this text, but it is enough to assign a new text document does not retain the variable formatting - all figures are found with the same font size.

    Since the guide of the script, I see that the size of the font of a text document object is available, but only in a very limited form - definition of value he sets for the entire document, without options to set for a range of characters.  I would be fair to assume that programmatically create/update a document with several sizes of fonts is not possible?

    If this is the case, what would be my best options to achieve the same effect?  If the project is modified to have several layers/documents, is there a way to adjust the positioning to maintain good spacing/kerning between independent channels?  (I'm also a dollar with yet another sign size of police prior to the price, so I would have actually three pieces of text to position in my script and just to the right/left cannot justify two strings).

    Thanks for the tips!

    AFAIK, there isn't a convenient way for a script to maintain several font sizes once it changes a text document.

    You can however, use sourceRectAtTime() to get the actual span of text in a text layer, positioning and three text layers to get the desired spacing is not difficult.

  • Effects not appearing is not on the text layer in 3d?

    Hi im facing a problem if I was motion tracked 3d text in a scene, but when I add an effect like mossaic text, nothing is displayed. the effect is on. the remains of text exactly as it was before, crawler, but regular motion. I do something wrong or effects cannot be placed on a non 3d text. BTW I have reproduces the text, turn off the 3d and add an effect, and it worked very well.

    Here are some pictures of it gyazo for more information

    everything is up to date and my setting of the computer are well above what they need to run after effects.

    You use traced to the given radius? Have you read the warning?

    If so, before you compose your text drawn with RADIUS, 3D layer doing the classic main computer, don't condense transformations and apply your filter.
