16.1 Bug? No Stroke on Text.

PostMon Oct 21, 2019 5:38 am

Hey all, long time lurker but first time signing up and posting.

Upgraded to 16.1 (which I assumed isn't public beta now?) and trying to add a bit of stroke to inject "red" into Red's name and no matter how much I slide, it's a no go.

Solutions? Am I an idiot and missing something?

Thanks!

There are 2 Rich Text Boxes in the "L Lower Third" Title. I am pretty sure that the stroke only applies to the second text box. Are you using the second one?

I noticed your offset is set to “0”, it should be either -1, or +1,
“0” means the drop shadow is dead-on behind of the letters, you need to offset it either to the right-left or top-bottom. Use the X and Y

He's not using a drop shadow, he is trying to add a red Stroke.

I just realized your question was for a stroke all around, it’s the one underneath Drop Shadow.
Select and highlight the text and run the slider to any size of a stroke, you can change the color by double clicking on color block, it is usually defaulted to black.

He already did what you said, you can see in his screenshot that he already changed the size of the Stroke and changed the color to red.

It is working for me. Can you post a screenshot of your Edit tab and Stroke settings in the Inspector, including the Select Color box?

Could potentially be a GPU driver issue.

In the past, titling features, like stroke, would routinely stop working in the course of making title styling adjustments. Restarting the project would clear it.

I haven't seen this yet in 16.1, but it was very common in earlier versions.

Has anyone figured out a workaround? I'm still having this issue with v17.1 on our PC's. I can turn "stroke" on but nothing happens. I can't adjust the size or color. Frustrating...
