Bug in text animator

Post by mowgli »

While working on a composition, I found a bug in the Text Animator source, specifically using the preset Countdown from 10.
If I place the preset on a clip it works as expected but simply switching decks and coming back to it, the countdown numbers are no longer centered on the screen.
Re-applying the preset, fixes the issue, until I switch decks, do nothing else, come back to it and it's messed up again.

By the way, is there no way of posting video here other than hosting it elsewhere?

I'm quite concerned regarding this bug.
Besides what I've posted here, I found another issue which at first I didn't link to this which I was posting about here:
viewtopic.php?t=33104

As it turns out, on reopening a composition, saved settings on sources and effects are changing on their own and don't display what was saved.
As it stands, I'm concerned about opening my files as this has the potential to really wreck hours of work.

Luckily, I discovered this whole thing while working on just one composition, which happens to have presets that I'm saving for a Wire effect I'm making.

Each clip in the composition has a source and my effect with one of its presets applied. Every time I open the composition every clip has changed from when the composition was saved.

Thankfully, I can restore them by reapplying the presets...until I close the composition and open it again.

The changes happening on reopening are consistent, each clip's changes are always the same but every clip changes in a different way ie. the parameters that are changed vary from clip to clip.

The bug I originally posted here is related to Spacing Y in Text Animator. You can see below that something very strange is going on. While both of them display 0%, the buggy one's slide is not on the 0% position.

Looking further into this, I've found out that the Spacing Y slider changes its range from the original:
-20 to 200
to
-100 to 200
on reopening the file.

Still, 0% spacing doesn't appear to correspond between them, ie. 0% means different things in both of them.
