How to edit a copied/duplicated title sequence in CC 2018 without changing the original??

Hello all - having an identical issue with very latest version of Premiere Pro, and some imported titles from Motion Array.

I want to use the first video I've created (with the Motion Array titles in) as a template for a series of videos. So I want to keep the same titles, but change the copy across different videos. However changing the copy in any duplicated version of the title always seems to change it across all versions of the title - even across different premiere pro projects!

Alt-drag does not work, nor does duplicating in the asset folder itself. 

Is there a quick fix for this? It feels like there should be something easier than starting from scratch.

Thanks!

For anyone still encountering this, I was able to get this working by importing the second sequence after completing the first.  When setting up to use 3 titles from the same project, I imported all 3 at the same time.  I needed to delete all but the first, complete my changes, and then import the second, complete my changes, then import the third.  It works now.

I've just moved from FCP to PP for a project and even though it took a while to figure out the new UI, it seemed pretty easy and smooth untill I hit this dilemma! 

What a bomber! 

I can absolutely relate to your comment so much. I have a deadline coming up and am not able to figure this bit out. It's the most frustrating this Adobe needs to fix. FCP has a simple solution, you "compoud" the text/template and it becomes independent. PP also has the "nest" option but it doesn't help at all. 

I hope you have figured this out and I genuinely hope you still have some of your hair left cause I'm halfway done pulling out mine. 

PLEASE SHARE ANY SOLUTION THAT WORKED. PLEASE!

Same idiotic problem happend to me just lost two hours.

Quite embarasing to duplicate titles 🙂

Duplicate sequnce shoul be simply duplicate with all features.

I had an opportunity to speak with Motion Array about this, they linked me to this video:

It would seem that a possible workaround is to edit a title to my spec, then save it as a .prproj. After this import the title via 'File' and select 'Allow Duplicates'

So far it has been loading in separate assets, all assets subsequently to the first are not retaining the modifications I made, but it is allowing them to be modified separately.

Hi Ann,

Thanks for the response but unfortunately I'm working with nested titles. To elaborate, I have had success when working with a nest that contains the title text in the first and only nested path. I've been able to duplicate the source in the project and replace it within the nested sequence.

The title I'm working with now has a nest which contains a video and another nest. Inside the first there's a composite of the text sequence and modification layers with the same text. The text is further contained. In order to path the a new project file I would have to replace and edit the complex parts of the title which at my level is not likely to happen.

I'm hoping future iterations of PP have the ability to duplicate nested titles quickly.

Thanks,

Josh

I've been through every tutorial I can find and every forum comment I can find. I can not for the life of me figure this one out.

If I do as you say I get the same result. When I alter this "copy" of the title clip (not the sequence) the same is applied to the original. I've been at this for hours and starting to go a little crazy.

To be clear...  When you say "Alt drag one title clip (not the sequence) to a new location in the same sequence.", do you mean if I had 3 titles in the sequence and I alt/dragged one of them to another point on the timeline I could somehow alter this clip without it affecting the first one. Does not work for me at all.  I guess I am not understanding.  Feeling so foolish that I can't figure this out.

This absolutely does not work for me. One of the many methods I've tried. Perhaps a glitch in the newest version?

One method: In the Projects panel, right click on the item you wish to duplicate, and click on duplicate. It will show up as a copy, rename it and then work on it.
