Hi, would like to ask for help. For some reason, the page automatic numbering doesnt apply to all pages. Is there a particular reason and could somene help ? I have created a Text Box and added in " Special Characters >> Current Page Number", and I would like the page numbering to automatically appear on all other pages....But its not working, and I have to manually copy paste the Text Box with Special Character on each individual page. Is there a way to automate this ? Would really appreciate the help, thanks.

Hi @Loke5CC9 ,

 

If you are working on a Facing Page document, you can place the autonumering on either the left or the right page. 

 

This should be of help to you.

 

Another way to do it is to create a Master Page with the autonumbering on it and applying the master to the pages you would like.

 

Keep us posted on your progress.

Hi @defaultvw155g944268 ,

 

As you probably know, you won't be able to animate whilst in the Titler window.

 

You can animate as usual in the Effects Panel once the title is on a video track.

 

Keep us posted on your progress.

It needs to be on the master page - and the master page needs to be applied to all the pages.
