Titles

[Tim Kolb]

How does it not save the attributes…it saves the whole title…does it not?

I think I’m not understanding something completely here…

Can you tell me what is happening that indicates this?

Thanks

Hey Rob
thanks for the reply. heres the deal. I go into the Title Tool and type up an information board with several lines of text. I add some kearning and leading to make it look good and fit on the page. Its automatically saved in ppro. Then when I want to type up my next info board, I click the button “New Title Based on Current Title” so I can use the same attributes form one board to the next. However when i start typing, all attributes remain the same except for the kerning and the leading, they revert back to default and I have to reset them.

Hope that explains it.

Any clue on other instruction tutorials or wensites i can vist for help with premiere other than COW and Adobe TV?

I appreciate your help with this.

Are you deleting the existing text object and dragging out a new box or typing over the text that has the attributes already assigned?

Hilighting the text with the mouse then typing over it

Are you kerning letter-by-letter?

I’m not sure an empty text object (which is what you start with when you type that first key after selecting the text) can hang on to kerning info… I guess I never noticed…

Does the kerning value change in the panel to the right?

The kerning value does change in the panel on the right – back to 0

the leading actually stays the same When i kern its all 4 lines at the same time

Maybe its a bug of this software CS4 It does make it difficult to create multi page info boards and have all the text line up the same as I cut to each one.

I doubt it’s a bug…it’s just likely the way it’s designed…kerning probably attaches to characters and kerning probably attaches to the text object (box).

I can’t say that I’ve ever had this happen or not, though I rarely do text graphics where I’m cramming lots and lots of text onto a screen…I tend to do titles and lower thirds, so it’s just possible that not many people have flagged it before…

Adobe has a feature submission form:

You could always mention it… most things change when enough people flag them as needing changing.
