You can Edit the clip by…first, moving the control until you see the lyric you want. Ok so after right-clicking the ‘Text line’ control, and selecting Create automation clip. I have left the first line blank so I can select it when I don’t want lyrics to show. Now, let’s look at how to automate the text line control. This injects text from the Text tab to this one. The macro, including the square brackets. Now, here is the most important thing that makes this all possible. That’s a system font for me, not in the Shared folder. If I cut and paste the name of the Ubuntu-Condensed font and we see it on the video. OR you can also use any TrueType font in the Image-Line > Shared > Artwork > Fonts folder. If I delete Gothic, I get the default font. You can use any true-type font (.ttf extension) installed on your system. Face is set to Gothic, this is the letter style being used. And I could type left, but the default is left justified, so deleting it will do the same. Changing it to right does what you’d expect.
First we have a paragraph tag, with the text alignment set. But for now let’s take a look at what we did. There is a help example shown on the panel to the right. It’s no surprise that this page uses HTML (the language of web pages). Now, here’s where you can separate your videos from the rest. So we are just automating the text line control that steps through lines on this tab. I’ll just put the text line slider to the left, now whatever I type on this first, blank, line will show on the video. Pro tip: If you hold the Ctrl key and roll your mouse wheel, you can zoom for easier editing. But! you came here to learn about the lyrics so back on task!… To add the Lyrics, open the Add Content > Text tabs, where you can see I have typed the lyrics. I’m using the alpha blend control on the Earth layer so it - just shows through. An image of the Earth (thanks NASSA)…and beneath that the Reactive Sphere effect responding to the Master Mixer track audio. Remembering effects are layered background to foreground, from left to right, we have a background image of the star-field.
If you haven’t seen it yet, watch that first and then come back to this one. It explains how to add image layers and render ZGameEditor Visualizer videos. If you haven’t already watched the introductory video in this series, I have linked it in the video description (and on screen now). The Automation Clip, on the lower right, is linked to the Text line control and that is changing the text. We’re using the TextTrueType effect to add the lyrics. In this tutorial I’ll show you how to add lyrics to ZGameEditor Visualizer videos.
