Titles-Set Default Bin to Save In

[Grinner Hester]

You just select the bin when ya save it. After that it defaults to that bin until you change it again. Because you do all of your titles last, you really only have to tell em where to go one time.

Beware there’s a limit to the amount of titles that can live in a single bin, I think 99. At least, that used to be the case.

I’m assuming you are coming from Marquee rather than the title tool. When you save your second title, just tick the box that says use settings from last time and it will match the bin, media drive and resolution that you chose for the last title.

Hi

Thanks for your answer. Unfortunately, that has not been happening when I go in to modify the title. I’ll set it to save into a “titles” bin when I first create it, but when I go in to modify it again, the new title saves in the bin with the open sequence. I’ve checked to make sure that the “titles” bin is open, but it still won’t save modifications there.

Additionally, these are not titles like lower 3rds or scrolling credit roll, but rather cards like you see in a trailer, which these are. I often have to build each word as it’s own separate element so that I can work with it individually and over time. As a result, there are a lot of titles and it gets messy pretty quickly.

Can marquee do animate each element separately? I’ve avoided marquee since no editor uses it or is even that familiar with it where I work and I often pass these off to an editor to make final tweaks/adjustments.

Thank you!

Hi Scott,
It is annoying, I create titles to a title bin. If I control click on that title in that bin then it will re-save in that bin. However you are correct that if you edit a title in a sequence using effect editor, the modified title defaults to the bin where the sequence lives – annoying yes, but I drag all modified titles to the title bin aftwerwards.

Thanks for your help! I had a feeling that was the case. I wonder if they’ll fix that in the future, or maybe do something closer to how FCP handles titles so that a new piece of media doesn’t have to be created every single time.
