Vegas Titles & Text (Vegas 14)

Is there a way to change the attributes of all texts in a video at once ?

Just noticed that the color and the outline of all my texts are not ok. Seems I have to change them one by one ? Or is there a way to do this with all the selected text-objects ?

Same with transitions : changing hundreds of transitions is a huge work. The software seems to accept the transitions all at once, but the attributes are not OK : I wanted to change a transtion from left-to-right into to top-to-bottom, the type of transition is ok, but the direction is not applied.

No way I know about to change attributes on all texts events at once. But you can create a "preset" with the desired attributes. Then "cut" the title you want to change (Ctrl-x), apply the preset, highlight the preset title text and "paste" (Ctrl-V) the original text back in. It's one by one, but that's all I can think of at the moment.

Thank you, that is what I did. There should be an easier way though !

Changing all transitions and their attributes at once seems to work for me by selecting all the events involved on a particular video track and then changing the first transition on that track. If you change the second one, it does not change the first or any others. I have not tested this extensively. Your mileage may vary.

Apparently this is not easily done without changing the text too. It's been requested for a long long time.

It's easy with Vegasaur. See here

I just tried this. I changed all crossfades (default) to squeeze left to right. Worked. Then tried to change all to top to bottom : only the first instance of this transition was changed, the rest remained squeezing lef to right.

Then I tried something that does work : changed all transitions to a completely different effect. Then changed it again to "squeeze from top-to-bottom" : everything was ok.

Thank you. I believe you, but a bit expensive (for an elementary feature that should be included in Vegas).
