FL Studio Guru | ZGameEditor Visualizer Text & Lyrics Video Lecture | FL Studio: Become an Expert (English) - Video & Sound Editing

welcome in this tutorial I'll show you
how to add lyrics to Z game editor
visualizer videos for example
perfect let's review the project we are
using the text true type effect to add
the lyrics the automation clip on the
lower right is linked to the text line
control and that's changing the text
more on that in a moment if you haven't
already watched the introductory video
in this series I've linked it in the
description and on-screen now
it explains how to add image layers and
renders a game editor visualizer videos
watch that first and then come back to
this one
remembering that effects our layered
background to foreground from left to
right we have a background image of the
star field an image of the earth thanks
NASA
and beneath that the reactive sphere
effect responding to the master mix
attract audio I'm using the Alpha blend
control on the earth layer so the
reactive sphere effect just shows
through but you came here to learn about
lyrics so back on task to add lyrics
open the add content text tabs where you
can see I've typed the lyrics a pro tip
if you hold the ctrl key and roll your
mouse wheel you can zoom for easier
editing I'll just put the text line
slider to the left now whatever I type
on the first blank line will show on the
video so we're just automating the text
line control that steps through lines on
this tab now here's where you can
separate your videos from the rest I'm
using the HTML text page this works with
the text TrueType effect it's no
surprise that this page uses HTML the
language of web pages there's a help
example shown on the panel to the right
let's look at what we did first we have
a paragraph tag with the alignment set
it's centered
changing it to the right does what you
would expect and I could type left but
the default is left justified so
deleting it will do the same
then we have a font face is set to
gothic this is the letter style being
used you can use any true type font got
TTFN extension installed on your system
if I delete gothic I'll get the default
font or you can use any true type font
in the image line folder shared artwork
fonts notice the TrueType fonts here if
I cut and paste the name of the Ubuntu
condensed font and we see it on the
video I'll just set it back to gothic
that's a system font for me and not in
the shared folder now here's the most
important thing that makes all this
possible the text line macro including
the square brackets this injects the
text from the text tab into this one you
can type text here hello but it's a bit
limited so back to the text line macro
now we're using the text true type
effect to add the lyrics let's look at
how to automate the text line control
I've left the first line blank so I can
select it whenever I don't want lyrics
to show let's just check the upcoming
lyrics bring me up okay so after
right-clicking the text line control and
selecting create automation clip you can
then edit the clip by moving the control
until you see the lyric you want
then right-click the control and copy
value I'll add an automation control
point by right-clicking and you'll want
to right-click the point to make sure
it's set to type hold this will allow
you to hold values with a single control
point then right-click the point and
paste the value okay where's the next
one here and I'll paste the value
okay take me to a galaxy copy value
and pace value so that's the basis of
automating lyrics of course you could
link the text line control to a fruity
keyboard controller and use the piano
roll to trigger lyrics too that's
probably a little more efficient when
you have lots of lyrics to automate
before moving on there are two more text
effect options the text drawer mode uses
the text tab directly without the need
for HTML code the text line control
changes the text as usual and it comes
with some built-in fonts but you can't
change these without editing the script
and nobody's got time for that
finally mesh text in this case I've used
this circular Strait control to bend the
text around the earth
the text line does the usual tricking
steps through text on the text tab mesh
text is cool as the letters are actual
3d objects that can be warped and
manipulated in various ways
however mesh text and text draw work out
of the box and the fonts are limited so
you'll probably see a lot of videos
using these on YouTube to keep things
fresh I'd recommend exploring the
possibilities of the text true type
effect simple as adding your text on the
text tab and this high HTML on the HTML
tab plus you have all the power of HTML
text manipulation at your fingertips
as shown on the example right if you
would like to get your hands on this
project there's a link in the video
