A client wants to have a Ticker with "BIG TALL LETTERS" scrolling as pre/post-show. It doesn't matter which ticker I use (GT Ticker included in vMix or newly made with the GT Title Designer) the Text gets cut off at some point. Here is a sample picture: I have the Alphabet scrolling and the R gets cut off somehow. ![Screenshot of problem Screenshot of problem](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/62t6v8LOUXmvwfdzz4nXAXSl3t4oYqjUaKoe7xUqFUySzliBmyqoqyhskFN9pAyvjVFXx83bcG0yqlUp1Vb07RofpQMZSQ8QlhGsEcP6T564bQgg9qdrx0jNB82BxtJ3GtLk_iMh3-hLQPLKFUKseipzEpKd_T4wg9uJGaWfJXql23y_7dduiwdXMvrqGZcH1fHh7g-UTOJLhLCWJipsYbAqb9GlvFr9XIkUZkWOWPHhZCW40Mp43i_10ac2-TLjyLPzQlInp8-iZpj3LnbBLDZKZq3W6oh2uN4U26LLJHpGTSOU1O1mt8FwZcRId0MvztooKUDNGt2lBzMZjSJmgVPPCgJ5yZgqQGpo5kDLRjCxs6i9mrrOZVRmJQwq_ZiyB0b7nUHf27eD0C-of-3jzZRecWShtgdjxirDPIZsvJ0Kry8XqX8BUyehV3kVrcuYkoNGINxgFH1th09ht6f7SNBoeLcZ6oUR9mB9OO4eLJ1G8W_ciLwkF9hlxBPecssqQo_BvozpFn33hvk2bfxFF64PWm2CCsgoJQaqfiy9dDCO5cVZeF867LluEGDNQgVHWpkDmiRjJ8UPS0Hxkmv8EZlSy0_x7C3yrS5YMgL4kyBPbg1MOEiqQA8zuatMz_y4wQyb44-auWseYFSm08RZWV6YofPmhrsm4RBvw-3NdgfYjSU6iALMGk4W8DTwi_2VzZAnq-XO8AICR_oT9lt6pI_ChYtXIM-zR8bE0elBLAU9L5YZ0d_9d3DGQ28jWzPlUMbbZ2IHU_y0vymAVuRxboNpay6v0588baxM699R2dS60mOi1plONjk-1uNuU02wGqDNdNzc37u2Fnt82YfPjZRiT2C6l3QrLQ6IZDfdUXN8ITowJoNMFjkxBPPoGZi3vsq54_CrMsSggXZF8uPNI7iACPik9BPYehiDGPm7HQ=w1269-h693-no?authuser=0) To recreate the bug, create a ticker, change the font size to 565, and have a longer text of around 24 letters. If you have "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ" as the text the ticker will start cutting off letters after the letter V. I wasn't able to find a fix. Changing Box-Sizing, Type or Compositing Mode doesn't change anything. Only the font-size does. Thanks!

Seems to be font/size related ( maybe the ticker has a max textlength in pixels)
With Arial i get to halfway V, others go further (same size)

Wondering if the textlength in pixels can be changed. reduce font size ;-) not an option. As described client wants "BIG TALL LETTERS". And it is clearly a bug. Even with a smaller font size it cuts off eventually.

Even with a smaller font size it cuts off eventually. Agree is sort of a bug (a job for vMix team to check out or eexplain as to why) On the other hand I personally would not want to try to read a ticker that size (Many words would not even be completely displayed as a whole) . Not everything a client wants is for the best, your job is to point that out

Maybe follow workaround helps: Use small fonts and use the zoom in position setting to expand the ticker in the size you need.
