I tried to find legacy titles in Premiere Pro 23.6.7 but it is missing!

They are simply gonna be gone, period, so not sure why anyone is still using them. And yes, if you've got a lot of them, still in use, I know the pain of making all new stuff.

 

If I recall correctly, the Legacy Titler disamapeared during the transition from the 22.x to th 23.x series, though others would know the exact build. I'm not sure it was available in the 23.x builds.

 

But the Legacy Titler and the Obsolete effects are all gone now across all builds. And certainly won't be in the 25.x series. Which I'm expecting to show up in the public beta soon, as we haven't had an update to the Pr or Ae public betas in over a week now.

 

And with MAX 2024 coming in October, which will probably be the release for the 25.x build as always, the public beta needs to be out a couple months afore that time. So .... given past practice, 25.x beta ships pretty soon now.

Everyone's mileage always varies ...

Not available any more. You'll need an older version. They were in Legacy mode for quite some time, and they were eventually removed.

I could not agree more.



The loss of Legacy Titles remains a disaster. They were simple, effective
and incredibly easy to use. Premier's new graphics may do many things the
old Legacy Titles did not, but few of us want to do these things anyway -
and for simple tasks, they remain a pain.



Because of this I sometimes use the 2017 Premier Pro, where the Legacy
Titles are still available, in preference to the 2024 version,

Probably the worst update ever.

If I understand you correctly, I could not agree more strongly.     The loss of the simple to use and robust Legacy Titles for a Premier Pro user like myself - using the software for both family and simple professional editing - has been a disaster.    I have something like 50 premier pro videos from the past.    Using the 2023 version to open any of them, turns all the text graphics in them to gobblygook.     Putting this right takes an age.     For me Essentail Graphics and now the refusal to let you download the last 2021 version with still had Legacy Titlesd, has been an unmitigated disaster.     I still do not know what to do about it.    I fear though, it may mean I will not be able to continue making the professional videos I have been producing now, for over 50 years.    David Mills.   London

@davidm34568447,

 

I feel your pain, but I don't think any of us think they will come back.

 

a) Contact support/chat and explain why you need 2021. They may provide a link to it. The reason is not that you want to keep working with legacy titles forever, but that you need it to carry your previous work forward. I.e. the convertor is not doing a good enough job.

 

b) Troubleshoot why the conversion is not working and/or try to fix the issue in the previous version. Whether we can help you with that depends on what is going wrong.

I can see that the legacy titles have been removed (a silly decision as the new titles are MUCH more difficult to use for simple things like a slate) - but what about the "upgrade legacy titles" tool ?  Was that also removed?


For whatever reason my "Upgrade to Source Graphic" is greyed out on the graphics menu and there are no other options or popups for "upgrade legacy titles" and none of my titles work any longer as of v23.1 Build 86

devGuru,

 

I saw your post in the Beta forum first and responded there. But this is probably the better place, so I am pasting it here.

 

I did not test this in 23.0.0, but I can confirm that in 23.1.0, the global commands Upgrade Legacy Title and Upgrade All Legacy Titles through both keyboard shortcuts and through the top Graphics menu are gone.

 

The command "Upgrade to Source Graphic" is there, but I cannot find any way to get it to act on unconverted legacy titles.

 

The problem situation would be one in which you have legacy titles but none are in sequences. If you have at least one legacy title in a sequence you get an alert that all titles (in the project) will be converted (and they are - not just the one or more that are in sequences).

 

Are there other ways to get legacy titles into a current project?

 

Stan
