Hi,
Since updating to v10.2, an issue with the text tool has occurred. The box for entering the text has been downsized so that only two full lines are visible at once. I can't find any way to enlarge the box. When working with a text box of multiple lines, the lack of overview is a problem.
Any thoughts?

The best solution for me is to enter and format the text just as I want it in TextEdit, and then copy and paste into FCP X.
Even if the text box were slightly larger I would still prefer this method.
Hi,
Thanks for your response but the issue for me is that I need to play with a bunch of parameters like font, size, shadowing, baseline etc etc... Perhaps I just have to get used to working with the viewer window instead of the text effect window.

Hi John.
I haven't noticed any change from previous versions when working with style parameters, The results of adjusting color, adding drop shadow, etc need to be monitored in the Viewer window – as was the case before.

Let me clarify what I meant. Luis replied that I should write the text in another document and paste into the text generator. I replied that entering the text is not the issue for me, but formatting it. Thus it doesn't matter if it's pasted or written directly into the text generator. This is what I meant anyway.
My workflow has been to paste texts into the Inspector window of the text effect, and then do all the adjustments there, not really touching the Viewer Display. The only thing that has happened since the last update is that the text box in the inspector has gotten a lot smaller and I was hoping that there was some way of enlarging it. But as I wrote before, maybe I'll just get used to working in the Viewer Display instead of the Inspector when marking certain parts of the text that I want to format and so on...
I would also like the window to be a bit bigger. All the other windows twirl down, could we get some help on this one too? For us guys with older eyes it would certainly help a great deal.
If you use the Provide Final Cut Feedback link and submit your comments, you will definitely not be the first to have done so.
