  • 1.  How do I add text to graphics in xpression when they are on sequence screen?

    Hi all

    I was shown this in training but I forget how to do it...  How do I add text to graphics in xpression when they are on sequence screen?  I'm using graphics I made in both xpression and photoshop.  As I said - I know there is a way to do this but I forget the steps!  Any help would be appreciated! 

    Cheers

    Patrick

    Hi Patrick.
    Firstly you wont be able to edit your Photoshop text layers in Xpression at all. They've been rasterized and are no longer text objects but images.
    Secondly, you should be able to edit any Xpression text directly from sequencer if you have left the defaults that "publish" said text automatically.
    If so, you need to look at the bottom pane of the sequencer layout where you will see any "published" properties. By default all text appears there.
    Select the text you want to edit, using the window which appears on the right of that list.

    Hope that helps.

    I should still be able to add layers in front of a photoshop graphic no?  Wouldn't expression just see the photoshop layer as a shape layer?  I know I can't edit my photoshop graphics in xpression....  but like I said I figure that I should be able to use it as a layer in xpression...

    You just add a text object in front of your layers from Photoshop. Text objects are automatically published to the sequence so you can edit them there.
