Number of
Rows of Text
Controls how many rows of text are allowed for the caption. The options are:
• As Many Rows as Needed — allows as many rows as are needed to
accommodate the caption text and observe other settings such as box width.
• Exactly N Rows — sets an exact number of rows. If there is more text for
the caption than can fit in the number of rows, the overflow text is not
visible. If there is not enough text to fill the number of rows, one or more
empty rows display.
• At Most N Rows — sets a maximum number of rows. If there is more text
for the caption than can fit in the number of rows, the overflow text is not
visible. If there is not enough text to require the maximum number of rows,
your Avid editing application uses only the number of rows needed for the
text .
Use the Row Count thumbwheel to set an exact or a maximum number of rows.
Values range from 1 to 25.
Padding Adds extra pixels of padding between the edges of the background box and the
edges of the text it contains. Use the Vertical slider to add padding to the top
and bottom of the box, and the Horizontal slider to add padding to the sides of
the box. Values range from 0 to 999.
Row Spacing Adjusts the line spacing between rows of text. Values range from –10 to 50,
where 0 represents no change to the default line spacing for the font. Negative
values move rows of text closer together. Positive values move rows of text
further apart.
