Hi

I want to edit a title object using a script. The problem is I don't know which class represents a title object. What I want to do is change the title and also position it where I choose. Please, help with reference!

Thanks

You'll need to export the title (from the project, to a .prtl file) first.

Turns out, I was wrong: when a .prtl is imported, it creates a new Titler instance...which has no path.

So, you can change what's IN the .prtl, then re-import it, but you can't change the title once it's instantiated.

There is no API around changing elements of a title.

However, you may find that the .prtl file itself is .xml, formatted in a pretty human-readable fashion...
