It seems like the main reason for using it is, 'playing ball', or the bandwagon appeal.

I suppose it would encourage those who take the time to help out if I were more compliant though. Video can be impossible sometimes unless it's all by the book. Thanks

Weird. Premiere Pro CS5?

Either:

From within the 30fps sequence>Title>New Title>Default Still

or

Within the Title Window>New Title Based on Current Title

?

Cool, well after the 200 or so titles that I have created today, I am pretty much immune to being irritated by switching it 30fps every time.

3D Studio Max doesn't edit video so well, although I have thought about extending it for that

I'm using CS5, so the instructions you gave me are not exactly applicable- although... I just tried it, and it worked.

But I still don't understand Premiere's behavior/reasoning, do I need to create a new sequence and then create Titles in that sequence for Premiere to give me the same settings as my sequence?

If I move to another sequence that has already been created, a sequence with the same settings, it prompts for 29.97, etc.

Interesting behavior...

Yes, sometimes I wonder why I am using Premiere as well. It is a pretty good collecter of my different types of media, and pretty simple to use. I am working on an instructional video for a client, and it's a lot of screen recorded footage, 3D graphics and titles/UI type interfaces. I knew it was a mistake to do so much of the design in Premiere, but I did it anyways. What a great learning experience!

The screen recorded footage is 1366X768, the animation is half that, many of the images are simply parts which fit into the whole. The sequences are 1366X768
