Lyrics "import text to template" with 2 lines but with different font name, size and color.

    I make a 2 line lyrics template in a scene assign different font name, size, and color with each line and then when I "import text to template" to populate the lyrics in the sequencer. yes, it produced all the lyrics in the sequencer the 2 line lyrics per scene but it uses the default or the other font in all lines in a scene. and I have to assign it again manually to every scene in the sequencer and it was tedious work to do after all.

    how can I do this as it looks like a template that I made? 

    for example:       1 line (Text) font Arial, size 20, color white

                               2 line (Text) font Michland, size 6, color red

     

    Thanks!

    Hey Jim,

    I would do that using Visual Logic.

    From your question I cannot distinguish if you are using one textobject with 2 lines in it, or if you are using 2 textobjects.

    But basically, you would import those lyrics into a "dummy" or "hidden" textobject in your scene.

    Next you would take the contents and append them to your visible text-object using font tags.

     

    Look at the image below to see the Visual Logic.

    If you are importing the two lines into one single textobject, you will need to add a bit more Visual Logic to be able to split the two lines.
