New Blue Titler Pro 4 plug-in with Premiere Pro 2017

[BradMpls]

Premiere Pro 2017.1 -- 11.1.0 (222) Build -- Dell Intel core i7 Windows 7 Pro PC

Love the new Premiere Pro Title feature and Essential Graphics, etc.  Also appreciate the fact that the original titler remains available as a "Legacy."  However, I also use (or have used) the New Blue TItler Pro 4 plug-in (and have updated it to build 4.0.160712).  In the new release of Premiere Pro (2017.1 -- 11.1.0 (222) Build) I find that I can "open" the Pro 4 titler as always in the "new item" function.  But, when closing out of Pro 4 titler, nothing shows up in the media project display of clips, etc..  Before, when closing out of Pro 4 titler, the title would be an icon/clip (whatever) in the media project display.  Now, there's nothing and no Pro 4 Titler "title" exists.  I've done a couple of re-installs of the New Blue Titler resulting in no change in function or problem.

Ideas?  Help?  Or is this a New Blue issue?

First thing I'd do is check with New Blue support about this.

Thanks for the advice.  I just got back from a trip (via the Internet, not Delta airlines) to the New Blue Fx community forum and sure enough, there was discussion there about a non-working dilemma between New Blue Titler Pro 5 and Premiere Pro 2017.1.  Symptoms were identical to what I am encountering with New Blue Titler Pro 4 (instead of Pro 5).  There was some passive finger-pointing at both New Blue and Adobe; one not informing the other of newly released software, blah, blah, blah. 

However, the nearest credible answer (although subjective) I could find was this allegedly from a New Blue representative (excerpt copied from that forum, sans author name):

"There was an issue with the latest Premiere update that prevents TItler Pro 5 from functioning as a plugin. We are aware of the issue and informed Adobe of the problem. They believe they have found the issue and I hope to have a working version shortly. I will let you know as soon as I have additional information."

Sounds reasonable. As they've come out with the new Essential Graphics panel, and remapped keyboard shorts & such, I can see that it might cause issues with a plugin.

Update & Resolve:

In correspondence with NewBlue support and subsequent issue of a tech ticket, I was provided a link to a fix/patch for Titler Pro 4 that updated the program; it now functions within Premiere Pro 2017.1.  I've not yet seen the fix/patch as a standard software update alert, so to others using NewBlue titler(s), it may be best (as of this writing) to go to their support and/or forum pages to acquire a resolve.
