Re: [Avid-L2] Re: [FR] Title Edit Tweak

If you generate / edit your titles using an external application like photoshop, illustrator, gimp, etc., then you can update all instances by doing a batch import.

OK so it doesn't work like I thought it might or should where it would automatically update all the instances of that title in a sequence. For Example: I misspell a persons name and have edited in several times in the show. If I go to the bin with the title in it and reedit that title to correct the spelling it would have the option to update all instances of the title in the sequence. I doubt this is even possible given the way titles work but it would be nice to have that kind of functionality when modifying titles.

It's a tick-box in the Save Title Dialog.

If you have marks placed in the Seq, and tick that box, then when the title is saved it will appear in the SRC window (as normal), but also get edited into your marked region.

It's just that it edits in from the head, so there's no pad/handle. My thought was a setting to allow the editor to specify how much handle they'd like when they create a new title.

Could you clarify this feature for me? I wasn't aware of this new feature. Does this mean that if I open a title in a bin that has already been edited into a sequence when I change and resave the title it will already be changed in the sequence? Is this new in 8.4 or earlier. I'm currently on 8.3.1.

Where is this option enabled? As far as I know you still can't match to precomputes right? If this new feature works the way I think it does it would be extremely helpful to be able to match to a title in a sequence so I could find it in the bin quickly. If I open up an existing title in the sequence and reedit it can I still choose to have it apply the changes to other instances of the same title in the timeline or does this only work when resaving a title in a bin?

I really like the new title feature that will make the edit into the timeline when the title is saved. However, here's a tweak that would make it even better (IMHO):

I never edit in a title from the first frame. I always leave some handle at the head for trimming or a transition effect that might be needed in the future.

Right now, the title is edited in from Frame 1 of the title clip. It would be great if the In-point was, say, 5 seconds into the clip . . . or, even better, if there were an additional check-box that could be ticked ("Add Handle At Head [editor enters desired value in seconds"] . . . or possibly there could be a user setting like that instead.

It's a __very__ minor thing, I know, but all the little adjustments throughout the workday add up.

Please stand by for my annual plea for the ability to turn of AutoKeyframing ;)

Cheers,
