Saving a title template, the duration set is not respected. That is a bug. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Create a title for a template, that is one with the text "%s". 2. Set the duration to something else than 00:00:05:00 3. Press save as. 4. Add a title template to project, selecting the created template OBSERVED RESULT The new title does not have the duration set during creation og the template. It is very difficult to change that, if one uses many titles. EXPECTED RESULT Guess what - a title with the set duration ...

I was trying to create a typewriter effect by using one title for each new character, with a duration of 2 (-4) frames, so my title was having a duration of 2 frames. My thougt was that using a template, I would not have to rename the titles, but changing the duration is a pain. I ended up duplicating titles and renaming them (tw <number>), apart from editing the text for each one instead, and given the naming scheme used for titles, that is probably easier. However, I believe that it *should* be possible to have the duration as part of templates. The default 5 seconds may be a long time in some cases, or a short time in other. Looking at my template in a new project, it still carries the 2-frame duration, but it is not kept when the template is used, in that event it is replaced by a 5 sec duration. If I open the template and focus and then click ok, I am warned that I am editing an external file and if I want the change to be local. Dragging a 2-frame title clip to the timeline, its duration is altered to 3 frames, something that does not happen to longer (5 sec) clips. Any title created from a template is named "title template" (translated from danish), which makes them indistinguishable, btw.
