Quote I cant believe how simple of a question this is but to save my life I cannot find the answer ANYWHERE?

Question:
How do you edit the overall length of the TITLE?

Yes, it seems a bit lame that one cannot simply change the overall length of a title in the title editor. I did find this little trick though.

You can insert a title on the timeline, stretch it to the duration you want then split it. If you do not change the original length the timing on the title will remain the same up to the split point. Then it simply ends. Any features after the split are not included. This segment can then be edited as a title with the new length.

The second part of the split title is like the original but shorter and can also be edited and saved with its new length.

So if you want to make non-linear adjustments to the timing of all the features in a title that is too long do this:

Edit the title and adjust the timing of each element as desired.

Optionally save as...

Insert onto timeline

split at desired end time.

Edit the first portion of the title from the timeline

Save as your adjusted template.

If the new title you wish to create is longer than the original

Place the title on the timeline

Adjust the length to your desired time

Repeat steps starting at 1 from above.
