RE: [Avid-L2] Re: Title tool Q

Ah! that's useful to know! It's one of my main pet peeves that when you do it in marquee, it just goes ahead and replaces them without a warning. Will that file also clear fonts replaced in marquee? It's also annoying that it won't let you skip a font that you don't have when you do a whole sequence for example so you could quickly write a list of all the fonts you're missing and get them all at once rather than doing it bit by bit.
Oh well, clearly not on the Avid priority list...

Yes, it clears all the substitutions when you clear that file.



FCP 7 is even worse- it substitutes fonts without telling you.



Both suck- it would be nice if info about the original font remained with the title, even when you don't have the font installed.



Of course, that's the least if the shortcomings when it comes to title tool.

Unfortunately at this point even cancelling you are already left with the arial substitution.

>>> If you open a title individually the font substitution kicks in automatically usually to arial without a prompt On the other hand if you try to recreate several titles from an in to out if there is a missing font Avid will prompt you before making a font substitution. I've been burn opening a single title before so I always recreate titles in bulk on an unknown sequence Once you opened the title individually it's already changed even if you cancel the substitution dialogue. Usually for me that changes the title in the timeline so I have to go back to a virgin sequence and delete the fontsub.text file or some name like that near mcstate as has been mentioned.
