I see legacy text has been deprecated and I've seen how to reinstate it through options/preferences. My question is what were they thinking in removing it? What is the desired new method for creating text objects? I'm starting a new project and would like to use the new way but I haven't figured it out yet.
I use ProType Titler which is also deprecated, but Titles & Text is native to Vegas 17.
Titles & Text is a simple and incompatible Text Plugin. It's feature is simple and compatibility with non-English Text is poor.
It can't replace legacy text and ProType Titler. 😄
thanks to both of you. if you were starting a brand new project, would you continue to use the legacy text widget - should i worry that it's been deprecated and won't be supported at some point?

Vegas Pro 18 is due to be released on Monday 3 August - so presumably within the next 24 hours.
You'll then be able to find out what titling options are in VP18 and how they compare to VP17 especially in relation to deprecated features.
I imagine that if they were going to truly remove the old widget completely, they'd build compatibility with it into whatever replaces it, so projects that used the old widget can still work with the new system. That, or they'll just leave it in deprecated features.
that makes sense... thanks for the feedback dexcon, fr0sty, and lan-mLMC
