Re: [Avid-L2] Avid Titler + is acting like a real minus so far?

 

Yes - it's not fully formed. I pointed out on FaceBook that you can't use the (almost) standard pair kerning shortcut of Option/Alt + cursor keys. The old TT, Marquee, Photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator (to name a few ) all do this. Also, the way of 'selecting' an object is horrible and looks suspiciously like the way it's done in NewBlue. Also, the fact that although all fonts can be previewed in the menu but some don't actually work, is very reminiscent of the early iterations of NewBlue. And I do NOT like the fact that we are working in the Effect Editor monitor. I want to hit 'Esc' and go from text editing to a selected object (like the old TT) but of course this toggles to the Source Monitor instead. So then you have to re-enter Eff Mode and THEN reselect the T+ panel before you can continue. Let's be kind and call it v 0.1.

This is what I found:

file:///Applications/Avid%20Media%20Composer/Help/MCHelp.html#page/Help%2FTitles.67.04.html%23

It's pretty basic but it doesn't seem to address my big confusion of when I create a new title object with the T button the bounding box is square and stays that way even as I type text outside it.  Latter a box will appear around all the text at certain times.  I can't find the rhyme or reason.

The functionality I'm looking for is the basic title tool Text button vs. the object button.  I want to tell the titler to center all text in an object but instead it centers the object with the text remaining justified left, right or whatever.  I can highlight one of the lines in a text object and click the center button but it centers just that line to the entire raster not to the other text in the object.

This whole thing is really playing out like a cluster flop and searching online help just comes up with info on New Blue.  It is so un-intuitive I may have to use New Blue as it is the piece of crap that I know and have stepped in a few times before.  Sorry to be pissy but after months of touting new titler coming this is very underwhelming and frustrating.

Perhaps some of my issues are in the promoting normal title tools, which was supposed to work seamlessly, but it apparently doesn't.  At least for me that is.  Perhaps my disdain for fonts has effected my Titler+ Karma?
