Why is the Premiere Pro titling tool so horrible?
-
There are two different ways. One method is to use the good old titling system in Premiere Pro and make your rectangle with the titling tools. Make it extra wide to crop the left and right. Then use the feather effect of the crop tool. Another way is to use two gradient rectangles and butt them up to one another.
Try using CPU mode as opposed to GPU mode. I have let Adobe know GPU mode does not work 100% correct.

[Brian Seegmiller] “Your example is why we would not want to design a logo in PP”
Do you think that is a wise comment to make? You are saying that with all the drawing tools Premiere Pro has you could not create a logo? Then you probably could not create a logo with Photoshop or Illustrator either. Perhaps you should have said something like this “with all the tools available in Premiere Pro I think I could create a better logo than you did” as opposed to “Your example is why we would not want to design a logo in PP”. Having said that perhaps you can show us a logo you created in FCPX or Motion. I don’t create logos using Premiere Pro anymore but then again I would not use Motion either because many times logos are used for print (something FCPX and Motion are not good at). Having said that I create logos with Illustrator and use them in Premiere Pro. For masks and mattes I simply use Premiere Pro because masks and mattes are not going to be used for print. See the method to the madness? See how FCPX and Motion are lacking for my needs? That is why some people want Apple to make a photo/graphic design program. Will Apple finally catch up or will BMD do it?
[Brian Seegmiller] “Andy Paterson “It needs a lot of work compared to what? Are you saying you can do more with FCPX’s titling tools than with Premiere’s titling tools?”
I was referring to the the Essentials Graphics Panel compared to FCP X and Motion. Not the titling tool.”
What exactly is lacking? Keep in mind dynamic link works for me. We really didn’t need the Essentials Graphics Panel. It is more or less a canned effects template generator. I am not saying it will not be useful for many post production houses.
[Brian Seegmiller] “You can create custom titles, effects, transitions, and generators in Motion for FCP X. PP will soon follow suit and copy.”
Soon follow and copy? We have been able to do it for over ten years but now we can make templates with editable parameters.
[Brian Seegmiller] ” I disagree that the new EGP was made just for canned effects.”
It is just that. The old titling system has more design tools and it is still there. I don’t doubt the Essential Graphics Panel will get more design tools but shouldn’t FCPX get some design tools of it’s own?
[Brian Seegmiller] “Some of the default templates in both FCP X and PP’s new EGP are however pretty lame.”
I don’t doubt that but I have not really bothered to check either.

Thanks for sharing. I was able to create a lower third other than that canned title in FCP X just using what was was in FCP X, but since every effect, title, transition and generator are created from Motion and are defaults I guess FCP X has a unfair advantage vs. just the title tool in PP. It is what it is.

You touted the logo creating abilities of the titling… Awe, what’s the point anymore? I am not conceding just not going to waste my time anymore. Time to put this thread to bed.

Ever hear of “relative privation”? Look it up.
[andy patterson] “How well does Motion handle the bleed and slug area for printing?”
Wow. Rarely seen anyone try THAT hard. ????
Yeah, Motion is needed for making custom titles, effects, generators and transitions for FCP one way or another. Be it directly or “under the hood”, without even needing to own Motion. Saving you $600 a year in the process by comparison. Somehow that’s a horrible disadvantage and limitation (not) that I can live with very very easily. Go figure.
And you’ll probably de horrified to hear, that even for PPro et al you need an SDK to make Plugins! ???? Motion essentially being FCP’s SDK… without the SDK. But what would you know. Why not tell us how to make effects, generators and transitions for PPro. Oh… right. Oops.

We are talking about the titling tools of FCPX and Premiere Pro in this thread not plugins or bugs. If you want to start a thread about plugins or bugs for either software program feel free to do so. Having said that you could at this point say “I guess Premiere Pro does have a decent titling system”.

It was obvious to me and that is why I did not respond to this comment. I am surprised you did.

“ROTFL I have no idea what you are talking about.
