Setting a Text Default ?

Setting a Text Default ?

Postby John Walker » Thu Apr 16, 2020 1:44 pm

Hi,

I tend to use the same font/font size/Bold for most of my projects. (Boring I know :) )

Is there a way I can set the above as a Default? PRE 2018

Yes and no.

You can select any of the Text Styles built into the title adjustments panel, right-click on it and designate it as your default text.

However you can't, as far as I can find, designate your own custom font and color as a default.

Thank you Steve,

That's a shame but not unexpected.

But you could save a title and then edit that title every time you want to add one. Just create a Title template and use that in every project changing the text as needed but keeping your predefined font and color.

Can you do this in your version of Premiere Elements?

You can save your style and set your style as default, among other things.

Thanks Chuck Engels and R J Johnson

Both suggestions work. With the 'Save style' option, it saves everything except the font size - unless I'm missing something. The 'Saving a Title' does the job, once I'd worked out how to [url]save[/url] a title.

Cheers

Ah - I've just found a problem with the 'Saving a Title' option.

I dragged a previous title down as suggested and edited the text. Seemed perfect but after I'd edited 6 I found that they had all changed to the text I'd entered in the last one. Maybe I'm doing something wrong (or stupid :roll: )

All I need is continuity with adding sub-titles without having to set the font attributes every time. None of the styles are suitable. If I edit and save a style as the Default I end up with the right font/colour etc but the size always defaults to 225 and I can't see a way of fixing it at 80.

Any other suggestions please?

Hi John,

That's right, you can't just drag the same title down to the timeline and edit as it will just be a duplicate of the original and any changes you make will effect them all.

Instead of dragging the same title from the media panel do this, right click on the Title in the project assets and select "Duplicate". That will add another title to the project assets that you can add to the timeline and make changes without effecting the original or any other copies.
