IMO, it would be better if you could change that preference, and any item moving From the project panel To the timeline would assume that preference.
So if you missed changing the preference when you created it, you have to change the times all one at a time. But it's based on what the setting was when it was created, not when you add it. What I was saying is that I should be able to change the preference to say 5 seconds, then drag the title from the project panel to the timeline, and it be 5 seconds. Those titles are now, and will always be 2 seconds. When the titles were typed up, stills were set to 2 seconds. I think you misunderstood: Currently, I have a bunch of titles created in the project panel. So I'm just importing, hitting playhead position, typing "+3." for moving the position 3 seconds, then stretch to there.for every title. Or I just want to make one at 3 minutes with the same content because they are trying to fit too much into 2 minutes and I want to show them an alternative. Maybe we decided on 2 minutes on project start, but then they change it to 2.5 minutes after I've got all the assets in.
Unless it effects something else negatively, software should always allow for someone changing something on you mid project. I'd rather have this setting available in a window so I don't have to keep opening preferences.īut I definitely feel that this setting should effect at the time of timeline import, not creation. For the next 30 images I might need that at 3 seconds. For these 25 images I might have 1.5 seconds. I would actually be very much behind a change to this entirely.
So you have to open your title, create new from title, give it a new name, Then import that title.Īnyone know of a reason for this method? If there isn't one, then it should Definitely be changed to the time it's added. It did allow me to do that, but that didn't change anything. I thought as a workaround I could import the project to itself. Why? Wouldn't it make more sense to have that tied to when things are Added to the timeline, and not when the item was created?
