Thanks for the clarification but that does not make sense. I'd certainly say this
should be considered a
BUG. Why should cut/copy/paste NOT work within Title Designer windows? I've rarely seen such a problem in any application for many years, standard windows cut/copy/paste is too easy to implement and is not typically screwed up.
The process you outline allows you to copy a
complete text title (and I've used that before when needed). But what needs to be done is to gather sections of existing text (formatted) and re-build a new title from that gathered text (without have to re-type & re-format everything!). It's not just the text, all of the associated formatting are also things that should be able to be moved between Title Designer windows. Having to re-type & re-format everything is just wasting time and that can be alot of time!
This problem actually goes deeper. I can't even use cut/copy/paste to BRING IN external text into Title Designer. I typically script-out text segments for my videos BEFORE physically entering them into my video application. So I have external text files with a good part of my text (i.e. titles, sub-titles, descriptive text, etc.) already put together. I want to be able to copy that text from my external source and PASTE IT into PD. It's not letting me do this. So now, I have to re-type everything, yet another huge waste of time. And if I edit text within PD and want to COPY IT OUT of Title Designer and paste into another windows application, I can't do that either. Again, standard windows cut/copy/paste shouldn't be something PD (or any professional application) has trouble with.
I guess people can just accept this as
"that's the way it is" but think about it for a second and there's no way it should be this way. Can anyone point out another windows application that has this type of problem with cut/copy/paste operations? This is just causing users to waste valuable time and that SHOULD NOT be a design goal of any application, especially a video editor.
