  • Close title window shortcut key?

    Posted by Ken Pugh on June 3, 2014 at 11:19 am

    I’m doing a foreign language subtitle job, and although I’ve found or made shortcut keys for most of the repetitive tasks involved, I’ve not found one for simply closing the title window, so I can open another and move on. It’s a simple thing but having to find that tiny x with the mouse to do this takes my attention away from the main focus of the work and slows me down. Anyone discovered such a command?

    Love the new copy title in timeline function though!

    Cheers, Ken.

    Hi Ken,
    Sorry, I don’t believe there is one. You could try pressing Ctrl/CMD + W 5 times, if that’s not too much for you.

    Thanks,
    Kevin

    Yes I tried that, but then some of the windows fail to re-open next time the title is used, and I have to re-select them from the drop down menu. But not to worry it’s a small thing. Larger issues I had are as follows, if you have any thoughts?

    Actually I’ll start another thread above to avoid confusion, under the title:

    Consolidate missing files and slow GUI

    Many thanks for your response, Ken.

    HEY ADOBE:

    This is one of those infuriating, thoughtless non-decisions that someone made when coding the program and it is sucking the life out of anyone doing repetitive titling.

    Please please PLEASE!!! Spend some time with people who do repetitive subtitling to do some usability studies for Titler!! I will give you as much of my own time as you need to fix this.

    Because to click the red close window thingie EVERY TIME for THOUSANDS of subtitles is MADDENING.

    Who the hell closes work panels with cmd-w anyway?!?!?! Why can’t it just close the Titler window? Who came up with this idiotic decision? (And no, you CANNOT press cmd-w a bunch of times because then when you open titler again, all your tool panels are missing…which you need because of Premiere’s idiotic handling of multiple titles, and your inability to apply the same style to them – and no, “styles” don’t count, because they don’t even copy paragraph alignment – yet another needless keystroke! – not to mention position, etc…in fact, I think it’s a bug, but I have to right click every time I want to apply THE FONT SIZE from a “style” to a new title. And that’s after spending time deleting all their crappy, amateur-looking title presets. WTF Adobe, WTF…)

    You can type ALT+F4.
    Do you know a shortcut to OPEN a title from timeline? Like when we double click?
