Strange behavior of Titles and Text

William-Niemi wrote on 6/15/2022, 3:00 PM

I'm calling this one SOLVED... see below for the steps taken.

OK this is a weird one.

I was working in NewBlue Titler Pro 7 Open Fx and I created the 3D text in orange.

Now whenever I open a new Vegas Titles and text, that orange text opens with it. I have tried
1) Cntl-A then Del
2) deleting the event and creating a new one

3) copying but creating a new un-referenced copy.

I'm baffled. How can I get rid of that orange text? This is what loads up on the timeline. TIA.

Have you inadvertently saved the original TP7 default project creating a new default TP7 project with the orange text added?

Hi, Dexcon. The Titles and Text pictured above now happens when I load a Vegas Titles and Text event, not a NB Titler Pro 7 event. I did save the NB project as a Titler Pro project. I'm not sure why Vegas Titles and Text events would be related to it.

I'm going to move that saved project to see if it's somehow related.

Thanks for the response, BTW.

Update... removing the Titler pro project from its location did not affect the Vegas Titles and Text. It still has the orange text in a new copy regardless of preset, can't select, edit, or delete it.

Another update. Sorry about not testing this earlier... It appears to be project-specific. I opened up an old version of the project and added a Vegas Titles and Text event and the orange text is not there.

At least I have a workaround. It sure is curious, though.

Did you add Titler Pro as an effect on the TRACK?

jetdv if I did that wasn't my intention. I'll have to try that. Thank you.

@William-Niemi Sometimes people have accidentally done that and then can't figure out where the title is coming from.
