Appears for “Header” … you cannot use the character “&”.
I am aware that in HTML you need & to replace “&” which in this case the generator does generate this code when I enter “&”. However when you run it in Chrome or with SC, the out put output shows “&” instead of just “&”.
Tried a number of HTML tag to try to get around it … just does not work.
I tried and
tags but still can’t get rid of this “&” generated on output.
Please advise any work around.
Could you please advise how to put “&” for header please.
I works fine for Title and body statements with “&” … just not the header .
See example below text, if you try … you will see what I mean.
====================================================
Example below the headers is “S&S Visualisers” … you get “S&S Visualisers” when generated.

Just looking again at your post and I think the forum software is messing up what you are trying to say. e.g. it says
Could you explain this sentence in words (using the word “ampersand” instead of the character “&” or wrap in in a code block (by using the </> symbol at the top).
Also after the word “Goddard” you have typed an “m” instead of a “,”.
Also, there is nothing to stop you editing the final html file to put back in whatever the generator missed out.
Hi … ah you are right. The forum software remove the “ampersand” that I tried to say appears on just the “header” line. I tried to tweet the HTML code using and
tags but still could no solve the problem. I am uploading the “converted Credit” html from Elusien framework so you can see what I mean.
Basically I needed & to appear instead &ersand comes out … maybe there are other tags or something I can tweet the HTML code generated. Your advise is appreciated.
Hmm appears this forum does not t upload HTML file and I don’t have winzip software (mine expired) … so I uploadeda screen shot instead to show the ampersand problem appearing.

OK, I see now. The problem is not in the converter, it is in another of my utilities “TEXTFLOW” that you are using for that line.: data-textflow="{start: vc|5, type: 2}".
The converter is correctly changing the & into &,but the TEXTFLOW utility is treating these 5 characters separately i.e. ‘&’, ‘a’, ‘m’, ‘p’, ‘;’.
I will look at the utility and see what I can do. In the meantime you could remove TEXTFLOW from the heading. If you really want TEXTFLOW you’ll have to wait until I can come up with a fix. Hopefully it won’t take too long.
I got confused as well at first. In only displays correctly if you don’t run the animation using my WebVfx.js javascript. I’m in the process of fixing that .
Hi Elusien,
You indeed very fast in your support !! …
Thanks a lot.
Here’s my final video clip with this new and fantastic Credits Text using your Elusien’s technic with text flow. What a nice fitting for my first music video … sharing with you this video clip. In this video, I have not use much of Shotcut many great features that I had learnt over the last 8 weeks since I started video editing as a hobby. Working on a few projects now and share out later to all potential ppl wanting to do more video with minimal cost - well is free thanks to Shotcut. Say. I hear you are not incline to music from other threads . but all the same … enjoy.
What a lovely video. I really like the catchy music, very light and uplifting. Not bad at all for a few weeks’ experience of Shotcut. For your next video I’d suggest you do some experimenting with features such as transitions. Have a look at this thread from @jonray: 161 new transitions - using "Mask:From File" as well as the ones hardcoded into Shotcut itself.
Huh?
I have never paid to zip/unzip anything.
On Mac just right click on a file or files and select COMPRESS “blah blah”.
On Windows, same thing, right click on the file/s and select: Send To → Compressed (zipped) folder.
Linux also has something similar, just not near a nix box now and can’t remember.
I am into my 8th week of using Shotcut since I first started with Movie Maker end Feb, then found Openshot … in early March and a week later Shotcut. I did contemplated on using Lightworks after reading a review but decided on Shotcut when I found the thread below that gives me the notion that there are really dedicated ppl focus on Shotcut.
So with that said, I had since try to apply what I learnt from this forum and ppl like Jonray, Paul2, samth, Sauron to name a few and yourself, I had manage to make 2 prior videos as a start. Thanks to all these folks to keep me challenged and learning …
Just to show some of the “mask transition” techniques I’d learnt from Jonray (& flashwords) and GL transition, and the other cool Shotcut filters with keyframe. Now that I have learn Credits/text flow … will apply to all my future videos (those for public sharing).
I also will try out “simple masking” and new transition (really cool in your demo video) that I saw last week. The latter seems not working so well I think … need to try outs.
Sharing what I learnt from shotcut on 2 videos I made recently … amateur quality
1st video : 28 Mar (3 weeks after started with shotcut)
about Living in Corona Crisis … my video technique learnt was extremely limited then.
2nd video : 14 Apr (2 weeks later with shotcut)
Vow Renewal … just a sing along with group of friends planning for a trip to a Resort Island next year

Hello @Elusien
Thank you for the updated version of Webvfx: I was experiencing this ampersand bug just now!
But I am afraid there is still a fix needed:
With the typewriter function, the ampersand is now correctly displayed : “&” (the character itself, not by its html code), but on my screen the “&” character is displayed immediately, before the typewriter effect even started…
In other words: first you see a “&” on the screen (alone), then the other characters starts to be displayed one by one with the typewriter effect…
Hope it is not too difficult to fix…
