  • ProTitler _ pasting attributes ability?

    Posted by Larry Watts on December 18, 2007 at 10:24 pm

    I completed a 30 minute TV program.
    I’ve decided I need to tweak the Lower Thirds and
    Text graphics I created in Protitler.

    I tweaked one graphic now would like to change all text titles to have the same drop shadow, blur and stroke to match.

    Normally I copy attributes then paste them, but I see no such tool in PT.

    Surely there is a way to do this?

    Thanks!

    Yes I’ve noticed this lacking feature in the short time I’ve used the new titling tool. Even just a simple copy and paste of a text block isn’t present. If I’ve typed something up, got the font and shadow and all looking good, it’d be nice to copy and paste that text block somewhere else so I can keep the attributes. The only way I’ve seen to do this is add a line of text to the “Collections” then have to drag it down each time I want it. That’s a nice feature, but it’d be nice to simply cut copy and paste as well.

    I have been copying/pasting my ProTitler titles (with all attributes, including a gaussian blur and the titles sliding off the screen) without incident, at least on a project that has spanned 8 DVDs and over 50 of the same style titling! I originally went into ProTitler and typed in my first title, chose all of the attributes/effects etc. (including fade-in and fade-out) and stretched it to my desired length. When I wanted to use everything BUT the exact wording, I went to the (first) event instance, copied it, and clicked on in the timeline where I wanted to paste it and pasted it!! I then clicked into and edited the words, got out of it and it worked EVERY TIME!! The titles overlayed a bluish stock graphic that is one of the media files included in Vegas 8. So unless I am reading this totally wrong, I do not understand why you are having any issues.
