• A click on the button "Font" opens a window in
which you have a choice of fonts and many type
sizes (10-500 points). The font can be selected
by clicking on its name or with the slider, as you
already know from the effect list.
In the list you may also see various symbols
next to the fonts. Most of the supplied fonts are
marked with an "A" (this font contains all the
usual Western European characters).
A font marked with a happy face (there is one
supplied in the standard package) contains
pictures and/or symbols instead of letters and
punctuation. Fonts marked with an "A+" also
contain Eastern European characters. These
fonts can be purchased separately.
Fonts marked with an "A-" are not always com-
plete or deviate from the norm. These fonts are
not sold, but can be obtained free of charge in
appropriate instances.
Note: The Carolann font supplied with the stan-
dard package has two different forms for "s", in
addition to "ß". The "s" key on the keyboard is
the more frequently used long "s", that is some-
thing like an "f" without the horizontal stroke.
The small, round "s" is mapped to the "#" key.
Font size is specied with the slider. The font
and size are displayed with the text "MacroSys-
tem".
• A click onto the “Style” button opens another
screen. Here, you can see a preview to the right
displaying a smaller version of your video. The
text part and background are related to the posi-
tion of the text cursor. If you have not yet ente-
red text, the system displays some other letters.
In the top left corner, decide which pattern is to
be used for the text. Press “Color” for the color
(1) In the background you see the rst frame of
your video scene.
This full frame display serves as orientation for
adding text. This lets you immediately see how
the text looks overlaid on the particular scene
you are editing.
At the vertical or horizontal edge of the window
you may see - according to effect - a scroll bar,
with which you can scroll through the text box.
If text boxes are already present in the video
image, then you can use this menu to enter text
with the help of an external keyboard.
(2) If you click on the button “Text”, you will
continue to see the rst image of your scene.
There is a task bar in the foreground. This task
bar provides you with several components that
are described in the following:
• With the keyboard you can enter the text of
your choice. It is also possible to connect an
external keyboard (e.g. PowerKey option) to
enter the text. Any adjustments you make to the
settings will automatically be applied to the next
line of text entry.
If you want, you can enter the text later, but it is
recommended that you enter some letters now
in order to better judge the results later.
If you would like to format every line with its
own settings (e.g. font, size, color), then click
on the newline key after every line you enter
and then specify the desired format. Separate
formatting for individual words or letters in the
same line is not possible.
