That's correct, Andrew. Motion titles are fixed length, due to their animation.

To output a movie to be used as media in another project in version 2018, your best bet is Export & Share/Devices/Computer 1920x1080 MP4.

I'm not sure exactly what's going on, Andrew. But the ripple function on the Video 1 track should function exactly the same whether you're trimming a video, photo or title.

If your title is on Video 2 or another track, trimming it won't affect the other tracks or ripple your timeline.

Does that answer you question?

Glad to be able to help a fan!

Here's what I discovered; you can't trim "motion" titles in the timeline. You can trim them as an asset in the preview window and that changes all iterations of it in the project however, "classic" titles can be trimmed in the timeline. Adobe may want to make that clear in the manual.

I think I'm all set on that one but as long as I have your attention Steve, if I want to use an edited "movie" from one project in another project, what's the best format to save it in so I can add it as a media file?

Thanks,

Andrew

Hey, Steve, big fan of yours thanks for the reply. My video is on track one. I can ripple trim a text "clip" on another track but not a title. Not a big deal but was surprised to see it disabled.

Thanks

Ripple trim is primarily on the Video 1 track. Is that the track your title is on?
