Hello I have built my 1st timeline sequence with a mixed bag of still, video etc, I wish to add title media as well but seem to have some issues I cannot find a fix for either in videos, or the blogosphere. I'm thinking the way I have panels setup or some mistakes I've made along the way are causing me grief.

Issue 1: In a nutshell when I activate title using the "T" symbol I get a cursor in my program panel and a new line in my timeline at V2. I cannot get the text box to expand it stays red and remains small. When I attempt to activate graphics the entire screen changes and my program panel and timeline disappear. All that remains on screen is my bin, my source panel and the graphics panel appears.

Issue 2: my basic panels seem to not be arranged as they should be by default or don't behave in a manner I have watched while viewing tutorials. I have some symbols in the top left of my program and timeline panels I have not been able to figure out. For example I have "Program ! (2)" what does the exclamation point and (2) actually mean, I have the same symbol set up on my timeline as well. Please see attached photo below.

Thanks everyone.

Issue 1: Start typing in the red box. It will expand as needed as you enter more type.

When you switch to the graphics workspace, go to the menu Window > Workspaces > Reset to Saved Layout.

Issue 2: That is what you have named your sequence. To change the name, right click on the name in either the Program Monitor or the Timeline and choose Reveal Sequence in Project. When the sequence is revealed, right click in the Project Panel and choose Rename.

I'm looking to change the background colour from the current blue on a default lower third title in Premiere Pro. I can't seem to find anything in the edit panel to adjust it. I can change the font colour no problem. Surely it's customisable?

So yes and no on my issues. I still think there is something amiss in the

way my panels are working. They just don't behave like the tutorials show

or how they behave on you tube videos either. I did work my way around it

by finding the standard title templates, saving them as my favorites and

then dragging them into my timeline and editing them.
