    CS4-Cannot create second title

    CJGerow Community Member

      I'm using CS4 4.2.1 with the updates.  I can create the opening title, and everything works normally.  But after I add this to my sequence and Make a number of corrections to the clips (about 2 hours of this) and then try to create a second title the title screen, the Tools screen and the acftions screen goes blank.  This is frustrating me to beat the band. I've spent 4 days on this and I'm getting ready to give-up.

       

      Since it works the first time - I don't think it is a font issue.

       

      Thanks,

      Chris

          Precisely list the steps you take to create the second title.

            Jim,

            Thanks for your help.  I use Ctrl-T to do the first title - fill it in, and insert in the sequence.  I then do some editing on the time line.  The do another Ctrl-T and that is when I run into troubles.

             

            I have two cameras on this shoot.  I'm using camera 1 as the base - it also has all the audio.  Unlike most of my editing, I took the entire set of clips and added them to the sequence and then I editing the sequence, instead of taking clips from the source.

             

            I've started on adding clips from the second camera, and lost the entire effort when I found I couldn't add the titles for my transitions.  I was tempted to go into photoshop and create them there, but this is such a basic function - I probably have somthing wrong in the project file that will bite me later.

             

            Thanks

              OK.

               

              Two things.  Try creating a title from the menu command.  Also, try opening the current title and creating a new one by clicking the "New Title Based on Current Title" icon in the upper left of the title pane.

               

              Report back the results.

                Jim,

                I've lost all confidence that I can fix this problem.  I think my project file got corrupted some how - don't ask how.  I have deleted all but the clips and have started all over again - I just do not have the time to trouble shoot this any longer. I'm back up and running - we will see what happens.  If I still have problems, I will amend this discussion.

                 

                Thanks for your help,
