Correct Text after AVI

[Jay]

Is there any way of correcting Text after converting it to avi in pse4? I missed some of the spelling before I save it on dvd
and its my rolling credit section of the movie.
Any help appreciated

You can lay a new title over the old one, but you can't do much else.
Nothing you can do with it in Photoshop Elements.
Do you still have the original project? Then you can just fix the title.

Thanks for the help. No I did not save the original.. dummy me But, I did a new correct text and I keyframed over the misspelled words
and sync it in with the rolling text, Work ok.. I got away with it this time....I have learned my lesson.. DO NOT AVI before you save the
original.....in PE format.

Jay,

Sounds like you have a workaround, albeit one with some "handwork."

Depending on what you have done to the folders for this Project on your hard drive, you might want to look at your AutoSave folder. Look at the dates of these files (View>Details), as the highest number (probably 5), might NOT be the latest - PE reuses the AutoSave file names and overwrites. That version of your Project *might* get you very close to the end edit. Could be worth a try. If you have purged your hard drive of all of these files, then your workaround is about as good as it gets.

Last question: is your Title roll over footage, or just text over black. If the latter, then you can easily cut out your bad Title, and drop in another one, using your DV-AVI of course. If over footage, you might be able to cut in replacement footage from your source files, and just do a new Title roll with corrections. You'll have to create your Title all over again, but that might be easier than hand syncing your corrections.

Good luck,

Hunt
