There are more things I find missing from Premiere Pro every day that now have me understanding why it did not compete with FCP for so long. One thing that drives me nuts is I can not change the default font in titler. It takes the top font in the font folder and uses that. I pump out nearly 15 videos a day that require the same font type. I get excuses and work arounds that tie me up almost as long as having to type in the new font. Adobe EDITORS NEED TO BE ABLE TO CHAGE DEFAULT FONTS!
In the titler, you can create a new style, and move it up to the top of the list. It's not going to make it the default font, but it's still pretty simple. Type your text, then click the style swatch.
Drop shadows, fill colors, gradient styles, strokes, tracking....all right there in the style swatch. Much more robust than simply selecting a default font for each project, and just requires a single click on the swatch for each new title.
You can also do a new title based on current....so if you've got a bunch of lower 3rd titles that need to have 5 or six elements remain, and 2 lines of text each with their own style, you can use the "New Based on Current" option (which I do all the time) or you can use your style swatches.
