When using the the Image or Text Titler there seems to be issues with positioning grid. Here is an example of the problem created step by step:

-In the text titler field I entered the word "test"
-Clicking the Enable button puts "test" in the center of the screen.
-Click on the Edition button opens the menu. The center button of the positioning grid is lit.
-Clicking on the bottom center grid button moves the text up and left.
-Then none of the buttons appear to be active anymore.

Thoughts? Solutions?

this is a known issue with the titler/image ,, since a while .. my image/ pic does the same ..rendering it useless ,

As Daniel mentioned this is a known issue.

The positioning command do not work using the GUI but they do work using MIDI mapping.

My workaround was to map the positioning command to buttons/knob on the controller.

In the following examples I mapped the position index for image and text to 2 knobs in the FX section of my DDJ-SZ2 controller.

Command channels and parameter will vary from controller to controller.

Code: Select all

        <mapping name="FX1 KNOB(3) (E3-L)">
          <events>
            <MIDI type="CC" parameter="0x6" channel="0x5"/>
          </events>
          <controls>
            <control alias="fam(Video)[0x1].TitlerImagePlacementIndex"/>
          </controls>
          <preset name="Integer Map Fader/Knob">
            <parameters>
              <parameter object="map" key="backwardIntegerRange" value="0 0"/>
              <parameter object="map" key="backwardNormalRange" value="0 0"/>
              <parameter object="map" key="forwardIntegerRange" value="1 14"/>
              <parameter object="map" key="forwardNormalRange" value="0 1"/>
            </parameters>
          </preset>
        </mapping>

Code: Select all

        <mapping name="FX2 KNOB(3) (E3-R)">
          <events>
            <MIDI type="CC" parameter="0x6" channel="0x6"/>
          </events>
          <controls>
            <control alias="fam(Video)[0x1].TitlerTextPlacementIndex"/>
          </controls>
          <preset name="Integer Map Fader/Knob">
            <parameters>
              <parameter object="map" key="backwardIntegerRange" value="0 0"/>
              <parameter object="map" key="backwardNormalRange" value="0 0"/>
              <parameter object="map" key="forwardIntegerRange" value="1 14"/>
              <parameter object="map" key="forwardNormalRange" value="0 1"/>
            </parameters>
          </preset>
        </mapping>

If it can be done by MIDI there likely is a chance that using keyboard will work as well. Haven't tested but might provide an other works around.
