Why can't you change a title after you make it?

	Re: Why can't you change a title after you make it? by Mark Hollis on Sep 21, 2009 at 5:26:19 pm I do this all the time, be hitting [Command]-S on a Mac or [Ctrl]-S on a PC. And a "Save As ..." is [Ctrl]-[Shift]-S on a PC and if you give it the same name as another .PTRL file, you will get a dialogue that lets you know that you are about to overwrite a file. If I change a title and then save the result, I see it almost instantly on the Timeline (which will turn red, indicating that it needs processing). Changing titles is something I do all of the time, as I have to make sure they're not underneath a "bug." What if there were no hypothetical questions?

	Re: Why can't you change a title after you make it? by Tim Kolb on Sep 22, 2009 at 12:42:28 am You have to save the file? How do you even do that? I've never had a problem with this. I open an existing file and make a change and close the titler window... Is your titler window always open in your UI?

	Re: Why can't you change a title after you make it? by Mark Hollis on Sep 22, 2009 at 4:04:24 pm If the Titler window is topmost, or selected as your active window, [Ctrl]-S saves the title. If your titler is open and your timeline is selected, you are saving your sequence. I typically will use one title as a template for another (especially lower thirds) and will use [Ctrl]-[Shift]-S to Save As a lot. What if there were no hypothetical questions?

	Re: Why can't you change a title after you make it? by Tim Kolb on Sep 22, 2009 at 4:31:34 pm I've been editing this week on a project where I'm doing this almost constantly... Once you've opened a new title and named it, it's saved. No further 'saving' should be necessary. Any opening and editing of the title should simply update it. The machine I'm working on this week is PPro v4.1.0... The title exists as a component of the project these days...there is no "source file" similar to a PSD or video file. The titles should just update in the project file like any timeline changes and trims, etc. that you do... Not having the title save changes immediately is some sort of bug or software conflict...I've never had to do this with CS3 or CS4.

	Re: Why can't you change a title after you make it? by Mark Hollis on Sep 23, 2009 at 1:17:14 pm Ah, I should mention I am using Premiere Pro 1.5. Your version is vastly improved from mine. PPro 1.5 saved titles separately as .PRTL files. I keep those in their own folder within a project's space. What if there were no hypothetical questions?
