Quote I'm using Vintage Title 03 from the Title Room, and changing the text. There doesn't seem to be a way of changing the elements individually (altering the justification, or font, or size, for example, of one piece of text). Is this possible?

The same behaviour with all the other templates...

Hi,
Does this help?

It does indeed, thanks! I discovered after asking the question that I could indeed change the font and colour of text, but it's a shame that I can't change the size of individual elements (an Ungroup option would be great!)

Sorry for asking an already-answered question, I Searched the Forum, but obviously didn't use the right words!

You can easily do that, just like in Word. Simply select the individual characters you want to change and set their properties any way you want. Font, text size, color, formatting, etc. as shown here:

Sure... but here's what I'm trying to do (see attached, sorry, can't figure out how to insert a graphic!) - the middle line of text 'A World of Dance Music Productions, is not aligned properly with the other two lines of text, and I can't see a way of achieving this? I guess there is nothing I can do...

The simple answer is to just add spaces to the start of that line to shift the text to the right

First, my apologies for using a normal title in my Title Designer example instead of the Vintage template you're using.

Templates have a much more limited range of options, and none of the things I wrote are available with this template.

As to my suggestion of adding spaces, PD actually ignores normal space characters at the beginning and end so I tried using a no-break space character (U+00A0) to push the text to the right.

Unfortunately, the title is set to always be centered here, so adding a space at the beginning only reduces the font size and pulls the end text in from the right by the same amount

My suggestion is to leave the problem line blank and create a new title with the desired text, then place that on the track below the Vintage templae. You'll have to set the in and out animations to match from the Advanced tab, but you can probably get it to fit in

Then there's the issue about the graphics, Using the steps i just described, I can move the new title anywhere but if I align the edges with the other titles, the graphics end up too far to the left:

Hi,

No, not via the UI with these types of title templates.

By "re-programming" the template, through manually editing the appropriate files, the positioning and other variables might be adjustable, but it requires a fair amount of trial and error and some programming experience. Definitely not advised for the average user!

For interest, I had a go - it has taken well over an hour so far to find the right file, find the right code and alter the X and Y co-ordinates for that 2nd title. Even then, It still doesn't quite "center" correctly and then eases back to another position.
Really, really not worthwhile!!

Thanks all for your suggestions - leading spaces are what I went for, of course, but that didn't work 😒 and workarounds like adding new titles would work, and might be worth considering if I was working on a Hollywood Blockbuster, but this is a 2-minute Facebook promo video, so I'll think of something else!
