Question. I have a L3rd font that I have set to "word wrap" All the text is white when I type it up. I will then go and select a word such as a #hashtag and change that to a blue color. In my scene and in my layout mode it looks correct but sometimes and not all the time when I add it to the sequence mode and play it out the word I highlighted blue will be white. Its as if the color change didn't stick. There are also times when I change a word to a different color and when I play it out in the sequence mode it changes the color of the entire line. Does anyone know why this is doing this?? Is it a glitch?? When I have a regular text window with no word wrap on and I change the color of 1 word it shows up fine in the sequence mode. So this problem is only happening on my fonts that have the "word wrap" on.

Thanks

Hi Jennifer,

If you don't need to edit the text from sequencer mode and you want to preserve your styles settings that you apply in layout mode, then just click on the text object and in the Object Inspector tab labelled Template Links, uncheck the Publish Object button.

If you do want the text published, you could try adding font tags to the string in the sequencer mode. For example, if your blue font is font number 1 and your regular font is font 2, then you can do something like this in sequencer:

{1}#hashtag: {2}this is now in white..

I believe that unless you have font tags in the string, then the sequencer will make the whole line whatever font the first character in the text is.
