Title creation window bugged?

[Jon Barrie]

This is a seriously annoying bug. I found a fix for it. You need to reorganise the panels so the stuff on the left side is ontop and the stuff on the bottom (styles) is on the side. Tab the tools and align stuff together on the top. That seems to have opened perfectly everytime like this?

Thanks! I undocked it first, then it showed the video – but I seem to have misplaced my Tools section with the Select and the Text tool (what’s that called?)

here’s what it looks like now: https://screencast.com/t/L1e1wJ3PCm

I actually just closed the title window and reopened and the prob was back, but I just undocked and redocked the video feed… so if I just do that every time… lol

Hi Guys…

Are you using dual monitors?

Depending on your graphics card…

this seems to be related to whether you are using a spanned or dual desktop setup….

Not at my machine to confirm right now…

look at your desktop settings and see if this is the culprit…

hah! Yeah I’m using dual… good call. Is there anything I can do about it?

I was really annonyed by this for a long time, but never find the time to figure it out. Well, Jon, as usual, thanks. Your suggestions seem to work. However, I have to play around in docking and undocking to get to the combination I want and they stay.

Hi…

First, try temporarily setting it back to single monintor settings and then relaunch Premiere and see if the Titler behaves properly.

If it does, you can still use dual screens you just have to use it under a different mode.

Under the ATI card I’m using, I have it set to:
Extended desktop mode.

In this mode Titler behaves fine, but I only get video overlay one one monitor, so my Source and Program monitors have to be on the same (primary) display (as well as capture).

When you first set this up, you might have a situation where Premiere wants to stretch across both displays. Double click the application title bar on your primary display and this will bring the application on to one monitor.

To make use of the second display, UNDOCK the primary funtion you want on the second display (for me it’s the timeline). drag it to the second monitor and resize it to fill the screen.

then dock and arrange an additional panels you want within that panel. (A trick I leanred on the COW 😉 )

One you get it all the way you want, save a workspace.

With this all set up, dialog boxes and splahses should also show up centered in your primary monitor (instead of across two monitors) which saves endless and needless clicking and dragging.

You should be good to go after that!

Lemme know if you have any questions!
