Re: [Avid-L2] New title tool

Sorry for raising that flag: is – for those still using the TitleTool – the "HDTitleFilter" command in the Console still a thing?

Just wondering

The first one works but if I then toggled to 4K to check how the title looks and then back to HD format the subsequent promotions end up with empty page. If I then restart Avid and just stay in HD and promote all the titles first they work. This has been with MC 2018.12.15 or similar versions so the newer versions may not act this way but it did happen to me on multiple systems both mac and PC. My suggestion would be toggle your project to HD then quit and restart Avid then try the promotion, not sure but that's worked for me.
