Re: [Avid-L2] How do different New Blue Effects end up linked after promoting Avid Title Tool Effect to New Blue?

Thank you for the info it is very helpful.  I found if in View I check title list I see a list of titles.  Many of the titles reflect various pages in my credits but not all pages.  It seems when I first started it asked if I wanted to save the titles as separate or together.  I think I chose together one time and separate another.  Through out the process it would sometimes ask to save to documents before saving to timeline.  Then it would say do I want to replace the title file.  Like it is rewriting a new project with the existing name.  I guess I don't understand the project saving architecture and what is in a project.  Is it a single title a group of titles or what.  Also I have been using copy style on a page I like then go to the next page and paste style.  This works but does this set up the sharing thing.  It only happened on a few pages and I don't know what the pattern is for when it happens.

If I duplicate the credits timeline does that break any sharing links?  I hit the help menu and firefox opened to no page.  Then I clicked another thing in the help menu and it went to a generic page with frequently asked questions etc...  This is not a fun process and I'm on Sierra but on a cheese grater so that may contribute to some of the instability I'm having too.

John,
Depending on your computer and OS, Titler Pro 7 was early tested by me (I work closely with their team in de-bugging) – and it has a plethora of issues, especially on Mac prior to High Sierra/Sierra, and on Cheese Grater MacPros.

I reverted back to TP ver 6 and found less issues.

We all wish NewBlue FX would bite the bullet and prepare a real, contextual manual that is .pdf searchable, instead of going to their default website.

The issue you have is one of training – NewBlueFX has a "convenient" way to change ALL the related pages in your present project by changing just ONE page.  This is called "SHARE."  When you compose a new title, it defaults to SHARE mode.  Inconsistently, there is a slide tab above the compose window that allows you to flip the current title page you are creating to "UNSHARED."  I do this out of habit to avoid the issue you are going through.

Sometimes, that slide tab does not appear, and you have to go to the left sidebar to try a similar, but different menu: That menu has a pull-down menu that keeps track of each page you save.  You can then reference the CURRENT page you are creating to a previous page, or choose to not link it at all.  This duality in selecting SHARE or UNSHARED pages is confusing, and hopefully was eliminated in TP 7, but that's getting ahead of ourselves.

When you SHARE or link to a previously composed/saved page, you are really saying that the previous file is a TEMPLATE.  So if you create 30 new pages and they all link back to the first page, they are now connected.  Go back and change the font style, color of the root page, and all 29 other pages change.

I hope this helps.
