>Ralph Lauren studio grey. So close to smpte it's fine.
Thanks for that suggestion. Unfortunately, that color seems to have been discontinued:

I was able to borrow a Porta Pak Chip chart and used the 6th chip from the top left, which is one chip to the right of middle, to sample for color mix.

I'd love to learn more about the print vs. video color approaches especially how black drops in white go blue. Anybody got some experience with that?

The old Steve Hullfish standby: Does it do it with another or new user setting?

This is driving me bat sh-t insane. I've set all the templates to Helvetica CY. And I can't find anything in the Settings that would allow me to nullify Geneva as some sort of default font.
Does anyone know why this might be happening, and what I can do to keep it from defaulting back to Geneva merely when I highlight the Helvetica CY text?

[Avid-L2] How long should ALC take to activate??
Just upgraded Symph 6.5 to MC 7 w/ Symph.
ALC says it's Activating, and has been saying that for several minutes.
When should I get worried?

Re: [Avid-L2] RE: Title Too Default To Geneva - Maddening
Hilighting the existing text does not change it. But the the second you type in anything new, either in a highlighted block, or simply by placing the cursor anywhere inside the existing text, the new text is Geneva, and not the Helvetica CY that was already there.

Re: [Avid-L2] Title Too Default To Geneva - Maddening
That is super irritating. I'm never sure why it happens when it does, but you could easily set a style (I think that's what it's called) and assign it to a function key. That's saved me from many a frustrating title tool problem.
I've set up a bunch of titles that I'm going to edit in the timeline. I used one long title clip then chopped it up. I set the font to Helvetica CY. But when I go into the individual clips to edit them, when I highlight the text to change it, it immediately reverts back to Geneva -- and a larger font -- even though the title is already sitting there in Helvetica CY!
