TitleFactory Settings and Preferences
Text File - Output Display Option
TitleFactory Preferences are accessed via the Edit menu > Preferences. The preferences allow for start up and theme settings.
The start-up preference dialog defines what project, if any, should be opened when the program starts.
The Media Tab specifies which Media Player Control should be used to display Video Files and to play audio files. Video can be played with the Microsoft Media Player, or the Apple Quicktime Player. If the audio is embedded within the Video file then the player chosen will also play the audio track. The Microsoft Media Player, or the Apple Quicktime Player may play different files depending on the codecs that are installed in your system.
If the audio is a separate file, then it may be able to be played with MCI (Media Control Interface). MCI can play WAV files but may require additional audio codecs in your system to play other types of audio only files such as mpeg audio (such as .mpa, .mp2, or mmp3) or .ac3 files.
If you believe that your system supports additional files types, then you may want to update the Media Files dialog.
The Video Window size specifies the size of the Video Window. Windows Media Player video can be resized manually, the Quicktime Player Window does not produced good results when resized manually.
The Default Window Size is the size of the Factory image style that is specified in the Styles Definitions Window.
Last used Window Size is the size of the window, as was last used, perhaps, manually resized.
Sized as Window Size specifies that the Window Size should be set as specified in the entry fields below this button.
Recording Preroll specifies the time in seconds that should proceed any recording operations.
The Buttons tab specifies which button will be used to control the recording of timecodes. Either click on the button number or position the mouse in the '...click here ...' and press your button choice.
The Coalesce Preference specifies whether the starting time should be made equal to the previous timecodes ending timecode for those image text files that are in the same paragraph. Normally, a paragraph in the original script file, represents continuous dialog and the timecodes should equal. The slider bar determines which timecode should change. Normally it is best to set this to 0, since it is usually easy to release the mouse button when the dialog ends and hard to predict when the start of the dialog should begin. The coalesce adjustment can be turned off of unchecking the 'Coalesce Option' check box.
The File tab contains the number of files that will be used to populate the 'Recently Used Files' dialog for each of the file types.
The Display Tab allow various settings of the main window display.
Selection Color (1) is the background color to display when an entry in the Image Text Box or the timecode box is selected in the Main Window.
Selection Color (2 )Two is the background color to display when the corresponding entry in the Image Text Box or the Timecode Box is selected in the Main Window.
Item Color (Odd) is the background color to display in the Image Text Box, when the original text was found in an odd numbered paragraph in the Main Window.
Item Color (Even) is the background color to display in the Image Text Box when the original text was found in an even numbered paragraph in the Main Window.
Separator Color is the color that separates the even and odd text in the Main Window.
Font (Image) is the font to use for image text in the Image Text Box and the text in the Input Settings Text Window as well as the Report Window.
Font (ASCII) is the font to use for the text in the Timecode Box, for non-image text in the Image Text Box, for balloon help, and for error, warning and success messages.
Use Image Specified Style specifies whether the image text in the Image Text Box should use the font family of the text's associate style when displaying the image text. If checked, then TitleFactory will attempt to use the font as specified in the associated style. Note that this may not always work, since the fonts supported for the Text Drawing routines are not always the same as the Fonts on the user interface. This option should only be check if there is more than one style specified in the Image Text Box or a single font does not contain. all required Unicode code sets. This parameter does not change the image text's size, weight (e.g. bold), slant (e.g. italic) which is specified using the Font (Image) button described above. See the image below for an example.
Image Box Justify is a toggle that changes the justification in the Image Text Box in the the Main Window from left to center to right to ...
Keep Main Window Open specifies whether the Main Window should remain open (visible) when some of the sub-Windows are opened such as the settings, and definitions windows. When checked, as noted below, the Main Window remains visible.
The theme tab defines display settings for TitleFactory. Changing the theme will be applied to all windows and dialogs immediately except for the main window. Its changes will take effect the next time that the program is started.
Timecoded Output Display Option
Use the preference window (found in the edit menu) to set the program to launch when TitleFactory creates a timecoded text file. The location of the standard programs NotePad and WordPad are expected to be in their normal out-of-the-box locations on the 'C' drive of your computer. The the location is different or if you would like to use a different program, click on the Other button to select the program.
SST Header Display Parameter Options
The SST Preference window allows the setting of ST Header parameters that TitleFactory cannot compute on its own. All other SST header parameters are taken from the 'default style' as defined in the Process Setting Window.
