Where do titles go?
Working on project with a lot of lower-thirds.
I am using titles as templates for other titles. I select title that’s similar to new one, double click, new title based on current title, change it, close it.
Then the title goes SOMEplace. I have to hunt for it, then I can move it into my titles bin. Then drag it into the source monitor and edit it in.
Here’s my problem. I have to hunt for that “new title” went to, and it never seems to go to a logical place, even though the title that spawned it is in the titles bin.
Yes, I know there is a search, (which acts real slugging because I am working in 4k and have a ,ot of media). But I want to know is there some pattern where spawned titles go? Or way to specify a bin like in Avid? The hunting for titles in random places is slowing me down a little bit, and it seems weird that every time it goes someplace else. And it makes my bins messy.

Select title bin first then open the titler to make title.
After closing the titler the title is in your title bin.———————————————–

Also, highlight any title in your bin and under File you can export that title as a .prtl that can be imported into any project you choose.

There are several ways to work with titles.
You can either use a title with internal titler and duplicate the master clip in the project panel this is quicker than opening the title and using the make title from current function although it is the same result.
I used to work out the lower 3rd background element as a separate element in it’s own right so if I needed to adjust that part I only needed to change the original and all instances of it in the timeline would update. The text would be broken out to just text layers.
Another way I used to work was with Photoshop. I would import the entire PSD will all layers in tact so I had many names all across different tracks and each was a clip. Then I would add another layer if i needed to bring in more text layers.
This gave me the flexibility to go to the Original PSD and select all the text layers and change the font, layer style, color or whatever in one foul swoop whereby they would all update really quickly in Premiere Pro.
Hope these personal workflow tips help 🙂

Hi Jon,
I know I’d be very interested to see a video tutorial of that, if you’re ever going to make one 😉
