Hi,
I am having problems in paste arabic text in final cut pro x.
The text is in text edit, I copy it and I can paste it everywhere: safari, word, photoshop... but not in FCPX.
I need to copy and paste for arabic subtitles and titles. By chance the first time I tried it worked fine, but after that everytime I try to paste the text FCPX doesn't respond.
Any idea?
Thanks,
P
Final Cut Pro X, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5)
Hi Tom,
thank you for your reply, but unfortunately it is not a matter of font, I have Geeza Pro.
I can create arabic text inside the program (FCPX), but I am not able to paste arabic text from outside the program, whatever font I use.
I hope it is more clear now.
It seems to be the same problem.
What sounds strange is that the first time I copied and pasted the text it worked fine. Then it stopped working.
It also sounds strange that nobody had the same problem before actually. I checked around in different forums and somebody had the problem with Thai, as reported in your post, but not with arabic..
Please let me know if you will have ideas / solutions.
Thank you
P
In a short text I did on my mac, it seems to work (not knowing Arabic, I just used google translate to translate "good morning"). I was able to paste into FCP X. There may be a font problem or a title problem. Did you try with different titles?
I seem to remember from previous discussions here that the problem occured with Thai and Tamil, but apparently only some characters "refused" to paste.
Hi again,
I tried, sometimes it works sometimes not, I kept doing tests today. It worked for a couple of times and then stoped again. Even copying and pasting text created inside FCPX gives me the same problem. Try to copy and paste more than once and let me know please.
thank you for your help.
This is a soundbite:

Again, please try to cut and paste more than one time because here and there randomly it works.
Thank you
Is there a particular text type you're using? I haven't been able to make it fail using basic text.
Wait. Yes, I have.
The problem seems to be in the copy function. Some sections will just not copy and paste and a different section or selection will copy and paste without problem. There is also something strange in the way the text selection is made before copying, which might have something to do with it.

Make sure you have the font in fcpx set to Geeza Pro.
I had not heard of anyone with this problem in Arabic, but other scripts have been reported:

Can you post some of the Arabic text that is giving you problems so we can try to reproduce it?
I tried a few times with snippets from the Arabic text you posted, and just like you described, sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't.
Is it plausible that in the next updates of FCPX the problem will be fixed?
What do we do to inform about the problem?
Thank you again
Use feedback in the FCP menu.
Does the use of mixed Arabic and English effect the problem?
The program behaves the same with Arabic texts and mixed Arabic-English texts.
Thanks.
