Solved New to forum new to Vegas pro 14 can't seem to get the hang of making Protype Titler to work

Hey all ,,, Long time radio host diving in to tv .. No stranger to editing audio ..little on the amateur side of when it comes to video ..but picking it up fast . I can't seem to figure out Pro titler .. When I go to collections and pick Rolling glow and enlarge preset , I highlight the text and delete text to put in my own and the whole effect disappears from the event line ,, Just can't seem to figure out how to get rid of their text so I can use my own

Hi Jerry

I stopped using ProType Titler many years ago, after New Blue FX released Titler Pro, so my knowledge of using this is shrunk a bit.
I do remember the frustration of learning how to use Pro Type Titler.

The trick to editing words is this.
1. Add preset from collections to blank timeline using double-click - lets use Float & Pop as an example.
2. Click on top of Float & Pop, then press Edit button at top that looks like an I-beam.
3. Step three is the holy grail move. You must now select ALL of the Text by dragging mouse pointer from "first to last letter" or "last to first letter".

4. Now type the new text you want. This time the key-frames and effects will stay in place.
5. Press ESC key to exit Edit Mode and press Play button.

If you get lost, I found an excellent tutorial on YouTube for you to watch here.
Please note that he is using an older version of the Titler, so that is why some of the controls are in different positions.

I feel your pain and understand completely.

I'm glad you can have some fun now :woohoo:

I have been reading that operators are experiencing problems with their title software. Someone had written that they use Bluff Titler. I decided to have another look at Pro Tilter that comes with Vegas for free.
I also had a look on YouTube to see if there were any good tutorials on ProTitler. Well, there is one - have a look at the following link:
I have started using Pro Titler and actually find it quite good and has lots of features that may not be obvious at first, but as I get into it I like it more and more.......for the average operator I think it's quite ideal!
