--- Comment #4 from Bernd <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Zastrix Arundell from comment #3) > Let's say I have this sentence: `Lorem ipsum odor amet` in a video. And I > want to display each word, word-by-word in the video. Write the whole text in the title clip and apply the Typewriter effect in the title editor, select Word-by-Word and you are done. If you want more control over when what word is displayed, use the Alpha Shapes effect and keyframes to adjust the shape's position and size accordingly. > If I, let's say, copy the last title clip in the timeline and paste > it in the timeline (so now the 6th title clip) and change the textual > content, it would change the content for 5 *and* 6. This is indeed a problem but only if you copy a clip from the timeline and paste it to the timeline. You need to *duplicate* the clip in the Project Bin, and then drag the new copy to the timeline. Then you can change the content (by double-clicking on the title clip in the timeline or in the bin). > This is an insane time sink when there's 1000+ words and not to mention how > easy it is to mess up the content of another referenced title clip. Only if you don't do it properly in the bin. I understand that this is a learning curve for someone coming from another editor. But that is normal and unavoidable and applies to any editor you are switching to. > Also I would also save time by not having to open a new window, select the > title clip element, change the text there and press save. Yes, that is a known inconvenience. The title editor was a quick and dirty implementation at the time. AFAIK, a usable framework was there already, and was adopted to save time. Unfortunately, the title editor has not received any TLC over the last decade(s), and even an attempt to rewrite it was abandoned due to time and resource constraints.
