Is there any way that anyone knows of (I'm using cs5) to go back over titles created and, without having to re-type the text itself, just apply a new set of style settings (ie color, font, shadow elements) to the already-existing titles (quickly/easily)? Much like we might color-correct a clip to precision and then once we like it, copy and paste attributes over on another clip of the same shot (and/or if necessary, update those color attributes we created onto the other clips, deleting the previous attributes).
In this case, it seems there's either something obvious I'm missing, OR there's no way to do what I'm asking, and instead it becomes only a question of workflow: as in, once I START to make that FIRST title (knowing I will have a series of titles all with the same style/look/font/color, etc) I must make that ONE title EXACTLY as I want them ALL to be (or design the template right the first time), before creating the rest of them based on that first one. Otherwise, if after making 10 titles one way, and I see them, digest them, and realize later that (eg) green rather than brown is a better color for the text and the shadow should spread wider (or get feedback from a client that they prefer a different font, etc)..... is it really the case that now I must EITHER: 1) open each subsequent title and manually apply those changes to the current text (potentially painstaking and a seemingly poor approach), OR 2) create a NEW title based on the NEW current one, and RETYPE all my text in again and just have another entire set of titles made?
I hope my question is making sense to someone. Likely it will to someone who's been in this same dilemma, of changing the style of a title after 20 or more have been made in one style... it's a pain. Right?
Or am I missing some wonderful key?
