Vegas Pro 20 Titles/Text Issues

david-g6114 wrote on 2/28/2023, 6:54 PM

Hi, I’m having an issue with titles/text in Vegas Pro 20. I'm using windows 11. I go to media generators then to Legacy Text. I then drag the default text to the timeline. But the layout of the text/title editing window that opens is not the same as it was with Vegas 18. For one thing – i don’t see any option for animating. Another thing is that I’m not able to adjust the size and position of text on the timeline as I had previously with 18. Attached is a screen shot showing what I see when I’m in the text editing window. Thanks for your help.

@david-g6114 Did you try clicking on the Edit & Properties tabs to change the size & position?

Yes, when I go to "edit" or "properties" it doesn't show anything re: animation options. It just shows as per the screenshot.

@david-g6114 Did you look at the copy of your picture I posted, it says Animate at the bottom, when you look in Placement you can move the text around & in the other tabs you can change the size etc. keyframes can be placed.

Yes, but there are no animation presets to choose from i.e. "earthquake" or "rough day" etc.

You're probably looking at the wrong titler. There are three titlers in Vegas, the deprecated titler (Legacy) Text, the deprecated titler Protype Titler and Titles&Text. The last one is the actual Titler and has animation presets like earthquake, rough day etc.

The screenshots shown by you and @Former user are from the deprecated titler (Legacy) Text, this titler doesn't have animation presets.

Ok I see. Thank you! Has this changed since Vegas 18?

No, the only thing that changed, a lot of animation presets have been added.

The two deprecated titlers are standard not available when not manually enabled in the preferences:
