Description Anders Lund 2019-10-28 09:16:38 UTC
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 ...

Comment 3 Anders Lund 2019-10-28 22:44:01 UTC
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.
