"Legacy title" panel size changes every time I reopen

Hello Adobe community,

I am doing a new project where I have to use a lot of on screen text. I am using "Legacy Title" to create those text.

The problem that I am having is that the size of the panels change every time I reopen the titles.

Below are the images:

1) First time I open it. This is normal. All three panels are divided properly.

2) Second time I open: Look at the left and right panels. Right panel gets extended and the left one gets squished.

3) Third time I open the title. Again look at the left and right panels.

This gets really annoying when dealing with lots of on screen text!

Any help will be appreciated.

Hi, we fixed the issue where the legacy titler panels weren't showing up at all in the default workspaces. Unfortunately, this fix came at the end of the 13.0.2 cycle and we ran out of time to fix a side effect, where the panels aren't maintaining their original layout. Given that the original problem prevented access to the legacy titler panels, we wanted to provide that fix ASAP. We hope to get the layout resizing bug (now a separate issue) fixed soon. If you reset the workspace, that should reset the legacy titler panel layout.

Hi, I've been having this problem for the past year too. When will this be fixed? Anyone come up with a solution?

It's been about a year since this issue was acknowledged by Adobe. It remains broken, and still severely interrupts my workflow.

What on Earth are you guys doing? This isn't a wildly complex feature. It's a layout resetting. How could this possibly still be broken a year later? It's a pretty significant issue and a frequent waste of time.

Dont think Adobe want to spend time on a feature that is eventually going to be deleted.

Sigh. Been with Adobe for years, but this sure wastes a lot of my time having to redo workspace every time. Saving as sub-sequence does nothing. Is there an alternative that would be Premiere compatible? Probably not or someone would have shared.

Workspace still a mess.

Also in 2020 Arrange has been grayed out which will prevent you from changing the stack order.

Might want to get used to the new Graphics Panel. The Legacy titler will never get updated.

Sigh, just updated Premiere and still unable to fix legacy title workspace. I have to make a sub-sequence for every title I want to save with effects; margins, crop etc. Is there an alternative?

Bump. Exact situation (the same panels warping the same way) still happening here with me.

This fix ("Reseting Window Layout") worked for me at first, but now it's right back to the problem before. Each time I reopen the Legacy Title tool, certain panels are squeezed off to the side, unusable. This is super frustrating. And amazingly I still prefer the Legacy Title tool to the horrific Essential Graphics panel...

Any timeline for that bug to be fixed? It is super annoying 😞

Still having this problem. The title window scoots to the right every time I close the panel, until the properties window eventually becomes a tiny little sliver. Really annoying...

I just installed the 13.1 update, and the legacy title tool is still messed up.

Same here. This is REALLY annoying Adobe. It's been like it for a while now... isn't it time to stop sipping your coffee and sort this out?

Can we all agree that a "legacy" tool that's been around since the beginning of Premiere shouldn't be breaking????

That got me chuckling! So true, and yet, we might be wrong!

The tool is legacy, but the way it "lives" in the workspace is constantly changing. And its nature (a collection of panels in a window) made it an oddity. Yes, there are floating panels, but the legacy title seems to float in its own universe.

Yes, I hope they get it fixed!

Yeah, I can see how the complications can arise and how recent years of integrating new UI will cause issues but, well, I could go on for hours about this

Yea, this has been happening to me too. Before that the tool bars from the Legacy Title page disappeared and I had to re-add them every time I opened a new Legacy Title, it was infuriating. Seems to be a thing since 2019 launched.

As stated so many times: don't count on a fix.

It's called legacy for a reason: it's going to be dropped from the program in the near future.

A quick reminder about what the forums are best for...

Helping the community with fixes and work arounds and helping Adobe understand what is a priority for us. If your post doesn’t do one of those things have a little chat with yourself about your motivation for posting maybe?

Reset workspace?

I tried resetting, but the issue is still there. I was kind of wondering if this occurs on your system as well? If not I will have to re-install.

Thank you for the response!

Yes I have seen this also.

Titler is still buggy even after fix in 13.0.2
