Limitations and Known Issues

➤ If you re-create a rolling or crawling title in your sequence, the Scroll Position parameter
values for the first and last keyframes are not preserved. They are set to the default values
(start and end).
Workaround: Promote the title to advanced keyframe model before you re-create.
➤ (Macintosh only) If you select the classic Title tool eyedropper and then quit the Avid
application, the application hangs.
Workaround: Deselect the Title tool eyedropper before you exit the Avid application.
➤ Avid suggests that you do not attempt to edit the nested tracks of a re-created rolling or
crawling title. If you attempt to select or edit one of these types of nested tracks, an error
occurs. This is also the case with a re-created static title on its alpha channel subtrack.
➤ A sys_error occurs when you modify a title to an available drive with Render settings that
are set to an unavailable drive (a drive that you do not have write access to). A .bak file of the
title also appears in the bin.
Workaround: Close the Title tool and change the Render settings to a drive that you do
have write access to.
➤ Character spacing might be inaccurate in Title Tool titles using large font sizes. Some
character pairs might appear too close together, or overlapping. In HD projects, the problem
is only visible in the rendered title clip in the bin. In SD projects, the problem is visible
immediately in the Title Tool. Also, once the problem has occurred in text using a large font
size, it might persist when you create other text objects in the title at any font size.
Workaround: The best general workaround is to promote the title to Marquee
®
. Text in
Marquee titles does not have the same problem at large font sizes. Also, if you do not need
your final text to use a large font size, avoid converting it to a large font size at any point in
your workflow, or retype it as a new text object at a smaller size if increasing the font size
causes the problem.
➤ Marquee title format does not need to change in normal workflows. In most normal
workflows, the title format in Marquee automatically matches the project format in your
Avid editing application and you do not need to change it. If you change the title format in
Marquee so that it does not match the project format in your editing application, you might
see artifacts around the edges of some title objects. One situation in which you might need to
change the Marquee title format occurs when you are creating a title by opening an existing
.mqp file. If the .mqp file’s format does not match the project format in your Avid editing
application, you should change the title’s format to match the project format in your editing
application. For more information on changing the title format, see “Changing Title
Formats” in the Marquee Help.
