Pro Titler crashes waaay tooo much!!
I have been attempting to get acquainted with the Pro Titler in Sony Vegas Pro on & off as time permits. However there have just been too many crashes for me to really make much progress in my learning.
I’m beginning to feel that this software is just too screwy to bother with as it has been a time-waster trying to learn this. BTW, this is just with Pro Titler launched in a project….nothing else, just the PT window.Can’t for the life understand how such an unstable bit of SW got launched for use. Would love it to work so I could use it. I have
24Gb of RAM, 2.8Mhz CPU on an ASUS Sabertooth X-58 running Windows 7 Pro / 64bit. So the system is plenty beefy to handle stuff.Looks like I’ll need to keep looking for a 3rd party SW and forget about this for the moment. Just seems that things have gotten less stable through the past few versions of SVP. Guess I may need to look at another toolset. I want to edit video, not trouble-shoot buggy software.

I would have to guess that not many of us use the ProType Titler because of it’s strange non-Vegas interface, and non-video terminology and lack of any synchronization with the timeline. I’m not sure what the person that wrote it was thinking but it definitely wasn’t video editors with terms like “near” and “far”. It could be extremely buggy but I would never know it because I don’t use it. IMO ProType Titler was an experiment that failed.

You should be using the new Sony Titles & Text plug-in for text or go back to the Legacy Text plug-in which is very reliable.

I dont use Pro Type Titler either. If you are looking for a third party option, then you can consider Prodad Heroglyph, from once
you get the hang of it, its very versatile.Steve Rhoden

Steve,i am thinking of using prodad heroglyph like you. did you uninstall the newblue titler?
I think that Sony should rethink bundling newblue with their product.
I have made the last Three updates to newblue titler and it still will crash every time i use it. -
I haven’t used it much but I did buy a new laptop with amd video card. I wanted to see if open gl on the card helped at all and the gpu did cause the new blue titler to crash. Have you tried turning off the gpu?

Brad,
Tried it both ways and crash crash crash. -
The ProType titler is not NewBlue’s titler. The NewBlue titler is Titler Pro. My understanding was he was having issues with the ProType titler. What would uninstalling Titler Pro have to do with the ProType titler?

To add a P.S. to my Original Post: I seem to recall that the word on the Pro Titler was to be more versatile to use than the regular Sony Titler which I still use and find it okay in a pinch for simple CG’s. The thing with the standard titler is a lack of viewable workspace in the titler window. Can’t understand this limitation with Sony Vegas Pro being as mature as it is now with versions up to 12. Someone asked me about SVP the other day and I tell them it’s a good tool but has some awkward limitations at times.

I have never gotten New Blue to work with either Vegas 11 or Vegas 12. It just crashes anytime I try to use it. Sony tech support is of no help, either.

It’s not Sony’s problem to fix. It’s a New Blue issue so open up a support ticket with them. You’ll find that they’re a lot faster to respond than Sony is.
