Hello;
I am contacting you because I cannot find the information anywhere.
I repeat the video project of a person made with "PowerDirector 21" which contains 130 photos accompanied by 130 text modules, so 1 per photo.
The previous person, out of ignorance, configured almost every photo with fonts of different styles and sizes.

I would like to know if it is possible to change all text modules at once so that they have the same font, the same size and the same effect.
Thank you.

The answer is no.

I find that you can replace any title on the timeline by dragging a new chosen title over the old one by hovering on it and clicking replace. The typed text will be the same so you don’t have to retype but the font, text size, color, etc. will default to be that of the new chosen title. Because of the text size difference on the new chosen title, you may have to recenter it, etc. to your liking.

Haven’t tested every title but most titles should work. You can repeat this on any title you want to change.

Did you try to change the font, size etc of the first title in the timeline and close it.
Then click on the first title with the right mouse button and in the open menu select: COPY Title Attributes
Then select all other tiotles and with the right mouse button open the menu and click on PASTE title attributes.
In my system, font type, size and color and position of text are changed to the first title...

Hi,

Using PDR 21.5.3107

Warry's Copy/Paste title attributes works well on some titles but not on others - like Motion Graphics, Vintage Titles etc.
Some titles that don't give the Paste Attribute option can be altered by the Replace function, but again - not all.

So, depending on the Title format - you may lucky!

Cheers

Good morning,
Well seen !
Indeed I made a right click on the text module which contains the good configuration of font, style and size, I clicked on "Copy the attributes of title", I then selected in once all the modules of title whose configuration I wanted to override, and finally I right-clicked on it and clicked "Paste Title Attributes"!
Thanks again !
You saved me precious time! ^^
Another question, do you know how I can add a gray or other band behind a line of white text with a black border on an image that has a dominance of white?

One of the options for "normal"titles next the the border (you can define the size and color), is the backdrop. Here also you can define the color, the size and shape. See the example.
Hope that helps.

This is exactly what I want, but I can't figure out where the options you're talking about are..
I'm using Google translate and I think it doesn't translate correctly..
Can you take a screenshot for me please?

In the manual it is fairly well explained, maybe also available in your language?

also the tutorials are worth looking at:
