Hi,
Whenever I try to add a title in Hebrew, one word or a sentence, all I get is the first letter of it.
Something strange occurs - the name of the title is the word or the few words I've typed, but the content is the first letter only.
And when running the clip, it shows only the first letter of what I've written.

The Windows version has always had trouble with RTL languages and it seems like the Mac version is similarly afflicted. This user found that the type of text box makes a difference: https://forum.cyberlink.com/forum/posts/list/97516.page

You may also want to type the text into a graphics program and save it as a transparent PNG file as shown here.

I also suggest you reach out to CL tech support and report the problem to them directly. Here is their contact page.

Thanx a lot for your reply optodata.

I'll try to work with the suggested method - of course this method does not provide all the rich titlle features PD offers. So maybe I'll add titles in a different software. (eg Mac IMovie) to get some titlle-specific abilities. Not an ideal solution...

I have opened a support ticket on this issue, I hope they'll respond and fix.

Thanx & take care.
