Lights of Fireworks MX (oldschool) - how to describe the text several times, without jagged edges

Hi pros FW... I hope it's always OK to ask questions about the MX version...

What I'm trying to do is to create a text with several layers of contours, different colors. An example of what I am trying to learn is like this creation of logo here... http://thunderfuel.com - the logo is the text THUNDERFUEL, which has a drop shadow, then an outer edge surrounding, then another shade.

When I create a text - no problem.

When I do the shadow - no problem

But when I select the text and the increase of the marquis of selection to create the external environment of color (like the outside of this logo plate) - filling becomes jagged. I tried feathering of the selection before choosing, after selection, the fill property feathered - but there always is by stairs, or too little sharp.

Someone there advice how to use fw - mx to create this kind of described multiple text effects, or do I have to use something else like iilustrator or PS, or something else? (if all goes well no cause I have not either, but whatever...)

Appreciate very much all the advice, or even some links tutorial for this effect in fw - MX would be perfect - thanks!

Thanks a lot Jerry and Linda - using paths is totally cool, and I understand what you're saying. I get the operation of dragging pen tool and adjust the corners - it's like a whole new world has just opened!

-won't get much sleep tonight, I guess - just got creative doors blown just behind the car and in my neighbor's yard, it's fantastic. Can't believe that I never used before railways...

Thank you ever so kindly for the detailed answers-

take care, thanks,

    No need to simplify the layer - which causes the text that becomes uneditable as text.

    With the layer selected text, use the layer... Layer style... Style settings to open the settings of a dialog box for the text layer where you can select "Stroke" and choose your options for size, color, etc.

    I can't think in any way at all to get the query execution time without running the query.

    You might get an estimate ( approximation ) If you are using explain plan.

    But you have governed to explain plan for a reason, so I can't help you.

    Hi GANESHKUMARAPILLAI CHRYSTELLE,.

    Here is a link for color management workflows in Illustrator.

    It is best to place the image instead of paste into Illustrator. When you paste the images they are in RGB color format. Make sure your document is a RGB file

  • How to set the Date and time on a remote target in Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX)?

    Hello

    I'm trying to follow the steps described in the following link:

    How to set the Date and time on a remote target in Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX)?

    It is said

    The software on the target currently supports only the time zoneand deletes the old files?

    I need set the date and time

    and remove all the old unwanted files

    the calendar was gray does not allow me to change the current date.

    Anyone know how to change

    Hi all!

    According to this the below Knowledge Base article, Remote Configuration System Support must be installed on the target for time settings to change in MAX.

    http://digital.NI.com/public.nsf/allkb/FAB0EC4D6E5EE0F386257738005733A3?OpenDocument&MeTC=max_MAXDat...

    If you don't know what version of the system supported remote Configuration software that you have installed on your device target, it is likely that it is not yet installed. Add this software by clicking below your target to the MAX software option and selecting "Add/Remove Software". This is where you will install the System Configuration Remote Support software.

    Please let us know if you have any questions!

  • How to get the text have the same effect as the video?

    Hello

    For the first time post here, but I wonder how to get the text of the titles have the same effect as the video behind her.

    For my video, I use 'bad tv' and other effects such as Gaussian that obviously changes the appearance of video, creating the look of VHS. However, I then inserted text via the title, but it normally appears. How can I make this text have the same effects as the video behind it?

    A friend told me I might need to add text to the video first, then do the effects, I have not tried, but wonder if there is an easier way, as this would require me to restart.

    EDIT: That's what I'm looking for. https://youtu.be/7_2PHQI89dI?t=24s The text has the same effect as the video.

    Thank you

    One way is to create a clip made up based on the title and the original clip. Then apply the effect.

    Another way is to use an adjustment layer.

    Good luck.

    I'm with you.  Cataract surgery, it will take longer, and the thin, plugged in my humble OPINION, typeface they chose is really for less than 40 eyes.

    The same "BOLD" of the police system capacity would be so appreciated.

    There are 3rd party apps that can change system fonts, and I saw messages claiming success, but I'm a purist to try.

    Small fonts (to us) make it very painful to be here.  I just hope they realize that our needs must be met, as well.
