What happened to the Legacy Title Tool?

I just want to take a moment out of my busy day to thank all the bright light bulbs in Adobe Command Center who figured out that the most productive use of THEIR time was to totally crap up OUR TIME!

Thank you for taking away an easy, simple way to create titles in Premiere and replace it with TITLE HELL!

Seriously, whoever the superstar that came up with this idea should immediately apply for a Government position. I'm sure he (and it HAD to be a HE) will soon be Secretary of State or, perhaps, Secretary of Defense. I want this person in charge of all our nuclear weapons!

With everything ELSE that needs fixing in Adobe products, you choose titles? You're making Premiere almost as bad as Final Cut Pro. Hmmm...maybe that's Apple's new strategy? Infiltrate Adobe with programmers who will sabotage Premiere users and drive us to Final Cut?

Pretty cagey as I think about it!

Mod note: Title changed for search purposes

Relax, for now, the old titler is still there: FAQ: Where is the Legacy Titler in Premiere Pro CC 2017 (11.1) located?

The replacement has been introduced as version 1. The legacy titler will not likely fully go away for a few more updates.

This circular conversation is old and stale. I'll retire it now.

One of the lead engineers working on the EGP is rather definitely female. In all the Adobe products, there's rather more females involved than at most 'tech' companies ... including you apparently may be ignorant of the person who is head of AfterEffects right now ... you might check that out.

I definitely agree with Jeff.

Understand, I had some issues with the rollout method for the EGP (among many other things over the years!) ... and was quite vocal about that and the other issues, including here and in the feature/bug reports & such. And among others I know.

Are some of the decisions, or expressly, the decision chains rather ... engineer-oriented? Oh, yes ... but that's still a wide swath of human behavior ... and I've not noted among the ones I've known that gender plays that much of a role. I've been to NAB now four years running, where I got to talk with a number of engineers & managers of the various video/audio apps. I TA'd at Adobe MAX last year (and will in Vegas in a few weeks), where I've met and worked with quite a number of Adobe staffers in all sorts of rolls in all sorts of their programs.

Delightedly, sexism ain't something I've seen. One of my main joys in working at MAX was the amazing international staff there ... many of the programs have the head based in various cities around the world, and that program's staff members are also from all over the world. And clearly, not just to "be culturally cool" ... but in working with them, they are amazingly sharp and talented people.

As I noted above, I've had some major arguments with the engineers and staffers over directions & choices ... that's fair game. But a useless, senseless assumption that's highly critical of people who excel in that area ... is way out of bounds to my mind.

But then, everyone's mileage always varies. Although clearly you kind of stepped onto one of my buttons there ...

Now using the legacy titler makes the program lag 3 seconds every time you try to change anything, it is indeed a massive step backwards to ruin a simple easy tool.
