Title Tool not updating / saving when making revisions

I've made a few Title's in Premiere Pro and saved them as templates to use through out my production. With CS6 I'm having some issues with it. I'll create a new Title file from a template and make the chages. Everything works fine for a while, but then the changes I make within the title tool do not save after exiting the title tool. The text just reverts back to the point were it stopped working. If I restart Premiere it works again, but only for a while. I think this is a bug, but if anybody has a solution please let me know. Thanks

Just an update on my end. Since updates have come out for Premiere Pro CS6, I no longer have the issue. Currently I'm using PP 6.0.2

Not sure if this is still relevant but this worked for me when titles wouldn't update outside of the title tool. First I saved my settings as a Style and simply selected a different Style, after,  from the templates provided. Cycling between styles updated my text and it was once again responsive.

I am still having this issue in CC 2018 (have had the issue off and on for years). Befoer, I was able to create a new title and then be able to edit it again, but it doesn't look like that works any mroe. Very frustrated as I've never used the new title tool (and I can't get it to work the way I used to). Why?!?!?! Am doing this as a volunteer project, and have dozens of titles to add ... ugh

UPDATE: Yet another thread clued me into: If I restart the program (holding Alt + Shift while doing so MAY clear media cache too?), I can then edit titles for a little while at least).

I think Adobe won't be fixing the glitch in the Legacy titler - but you might try using the new Title tool, which just came out recently.  Here is a good tutorial that explains the basics.  I found it's a better solution; the "Master Graphics" seem to retain settings.

I am also having the same problem as everyone on the list. I have restarted premiere. I have created new titles from scratch. I duplicate as mentioned above. Adobe clearly can't find the issue and we are left paying for CC and trying to find our own work arounds. Is there a fix yet?

Hi Valerie Lina,

Can you try the new Type tool and see if that workflow works better for you?

Thanks,
Kevin

Jef's description is exactly what I am experiencing too.

I am using Premiere Pro CC (2017.0.2 release) on a MacBook Pro (MacOS Sierra, 10.12.3).

I've just been trying to get it to happen and all was working perfectly for a while, until I changed the Slant value for the text. As soon as I reopen a title that has slanted text and I try to alter that value, it stops saving the changes. If I create a completely new title, all is fine, but when I close the title, nothing is saved, I have a black title. This is repeatable.

I hope that helps and gives some pointers as to where the problem might lie...

Interesting.  I was not using slant when editing.  Mainly changing font size, kerning, position, etc.

Other oddities show up during editing which may or may not be related that I did not state as they may not be related.

I have the exact same issue. I make a title and it is all fine, but if I go to edit that title or even duplicate the title and edit it, the edits are not saved. This is chronically frustrating and I have just wasted a morning trying to work out what's going on... Please Adobe, use our monthly subscription money to fund a fix - your software costs a fortune, is brilliant, but really needs to work properly! Please!

Hi GavinJ,

The OP has an issue with title templates, does that describe your issue or are you talking about standard titles? If the latter, make sure you are using the "New Title based on Current Title" function. Does that help? Please let us know.

Thanks,

Kevin

Having the same issue. And yes, Kevin, tried with a new project. Does one title fine, but the following titles won't update. A reboot of PP does seem to solve it, at least temporarily. But that's a bit of pain when you've got a lot of

Hello Sean,

Sorry to hear your titles based on templates won't update. Can I assume that the issue is with the current version? Can you describe your process so that I can fully understand your issue? Going through standard procedures (see our Help doc here), I cannot reproduce the problem on my computer. Can you describe more info about your computer so I can try to reproduce the issue? Let us know how it goes!

Thanks,
Kevin

I've only just started using Premiere having been attached to old FCP for too long. This exact title problem is happening to me and I just wasted an hour thinking it was because I need to learn the program more. I just want to start editing up to speed already, without some stupid issue like this popping up at every turn. It's frustrating enough adapting but I'm regularly wasting way too much time googling problems that turn out to be bugs. PLEASE FIX THIS!!!!

I just wanted to say that I'm experiencing this today for the first time.  I'm running the latest version of Premiere CC on Windows 10.

H Clint Bohaty,

Can you try creating a new project and seeing if you have the same results?

Thanks,

I'm having the same problem with the latest version: 2017.0.1 / 11.0.1(6) Build on Windows 10.

Premiere Pro refuses to save any changes I make to the Titles. I've even tried saving the Project between key strokes, closing down the application, opening it up again and it simply reverts back to the title as it was over an hour ago. I keep losing hours of work and I can't progress. I'm going to miss my deadline because of this bug.

Hi thathurtabit,

Trash any preview files and see if you can get Titles to refresh. If that doesn't work, try trashing preferences. Note, you may lose settings by doing so.

Thanks,
Kevin

I am having the same issue.

Running Adobe Premiere Pro CC v10.4.

Creating straight-forward titles has become a real nightmare.

The first two or three titles within a project are no problem.

After a certain point it just does not work anymore. Titles cannot be added or modified.

This is what happens when I create a new title from scratch (just simple text, like "Chapter 5") and place it in the sequence timeline:

it just will not show up in the sequence.

When this happens, it becomes also impossible to edit any existing titles.

If I open a title and change the text, or the font colour, or the text position, this change is NOT saved when I close the title tool.

The same is true when I duplicate a title and edit the duplicate.

The change does not show up in the sequence where the title is placed.

I have to save and close the project, exit Premiere and reopen the project. After that I can add a few new titles until the problem reappears. In my experience that happens every 2 to 5 minutes.

This is clearly a severe bug.

Please fix it. Your customers are suffering and losing money.

I am also having this issue (Premiere CC 2015.3). I have a set of titles I usually use, and simply duplicate them and change the text. Sometimes I have to reduce the type size to get a particularly long line to fit.

Since the most recent update, I have been getting the following issues:

  • When I edit a title I've created by duplicating an existing one, the frame aspect ratio shown in the bin preview changes to 4:3 (from 16:9) and the text does not display when the title is placed on the timeline. The workaround is to copy the text lines out of the original and paste them into a new Title created from scratch.
  • New titles when created from scratch often remain blank when placed, with text lines previously entered being missing.
  • If I have to change the type size in a title, it reverts to the original type size when I place it on the timeline or view it again.
  • Sometimes when creating a new title by duplication the new text lines are blank.

Shutting down the application and opening it again often solves the issue for a while but not always, and not for very long.

A fix would be appreciated

    I am also having the same issue with the same version of Premiere Pro CC (2015.3). I would love to find a solution to this so I don't always have to make my png titles in Photoshop.

    Wish I could help you too! Adobe please fix!
