Editing in monitor panel impossible in Premiere Elements 2018

[obrue]

Hello,

the double click in the monitor panel to edit (for example to edit a title text) does not work.

Simple course of action:

• Add title - standard text. In this moment I am able to edit the text and its optinos. Save it, okay so far.
• When I want to change the text later, I select the title.
• Usually I double click in the monitor panel so that the text options and the text itself can be edited. But nothing happens now.

I had no problem with these actions with my old computer and Adobe Premiere Elements 13. Last week I got a new computer and started on this one with the new version. It is a HP ENVY – 17-ae006ng with NVIDIA GeForce 940MX. I already updated graphics driver with no effect. I also tried to reduce resolution, to use a second monitor, to start as administrator or to create a new project - all of these without effect.

Who can help me?

I'm not sure what you mean by "double-click on the monitor panel."

To edit or re-edit a title, you double-click on the title clip on the timeline.

Thank you Steve Grisetti. This works. I did not know that I can reach text editing this way. From former versions of Adobe Premiere Elements (I used 9 und 13) I was used to double click the monitor twice. It seems that this way does not work anymore, but the way you told me is obviously better.

Working with titles (and text in general) on PRE can be tricky.

1. Click on the text on the screen

2. Open the Fix panel and select the Text Adjustment icon at the top--That should make your text editable.

3. When you're finished, click on the Text Adjustment icon again to "lock" the text.

I have found working with text is much easier using the Text menu at the top rather than the text icon in the ADD column for labelling different elements in the video.
