Thanks for putting this together - really helpful! Nice to finally see the new Titler+ - see how it shakes out over time but progress. Hoping we can select the font box and press down / up arrow to cycle through the fonts instead of clicking one at a time or looking at the drop down list. Assigning a background colour to a name in the transcript would be helpful, I think, as that'll be easier to distinguish when scanning down a transcript. But looks to be some good improvements there, too. Cheers!
I now edit constantly with the transcript panel up, with source/monitor. It’s a narrative time based way to navigate the material. Amazing. Even if the transcript is not 100% accurate.
Oh man I needed that waveform improvement on my last project I just finished up. What a nightmare, can’t wait to open it up in the new version and lament about how much easier I would have had it.
Ihave tried paint effect on titler plus. it's realy good and playing back very smooth without render. now avid titler + better than premiere pro i would say..
Thanks for this!! Spot to timecode is great. I was wondering if you have a video about email notifications. I tried setting it up but getting an error in console.
I left Avid partly due to the original Titler+ debacle. Glad to see they have fixed it! The other reason I left was because of the pricing policy for support updates for legacy customers, not that anyone cares. Thanks for showing us all these great features. Cheers.
@The Avid Assistant If it's still in 24.10, you can use the Fade Title button instead of manually adding keys. It will do it for you and you can specify the duration of the fade..
True, you can even use quick transition. But I'd prefer keyframes if I want to manually fade in or out parts of the title ( like the backdrop shape for example) which is something you couldn't do in titler+ before and now can. So it was just about showing that we now have the option :)
I have an issue I'd like you to confirm. I use the CC Tab shortcuts to switch between HSL master, highlights, mid and shadows. It seems like as of a recent update (?) Tab 2 , won't switch to Midtones anymore. I've tried this on the default US English Keyboard just in case there was funny business on my custom layout. It doesn't work there either. This is version 2023.3.56310
Do I need to buy phrase find separately for transcription to work? I have just installed MC 2024.10 using Avid link and the transcription tool isn't showing up in the tools menu... and I'm not able to activate in in avid link either...thanks in advance for your help - you are a great font of knowledge, much appreciated
Yes the transcription tools require phrasefind / ScriptSync to be installed which are part of the avid ultimate subscription along with avid symphony colour tools. Standard media composer won't have this unfortunately.
Interesting. Is the language hint set to Portuguese or "multilingual"? I've found weird issues with the default setting and I always have to force mine to English.
@ its set to portuguese. It’s the typical hallucination. It will translate a bit of dialogue in english and sometimes it will fully change to english and starting translating Portuguese into english as well. It’s funny.
Is there a possibility that the List Tool could preserve case sensitivity in the exported data, rather than converting all characters to uppercase? With the new Alexa 35 adding lowercase "_h" and "_a" to source file names, and Avid's EDL creation being hardcoded to uppercase, this can pose challenges for VFX tools and NLE editors that are sensitive to case differences to Tape/Reel name.
great video. thanks for that. but lemme ask y'all... i've been an avid editor for decades so this maybe a stupid question... in recent years i've been letting avid link handle version upgrades. but i've also read where people are still uninstalling old versions before installing new ones. what is the current wisdom for installing a new version? and what about user settings within major annual versions vs. 'dot releases'? (iMac Pro, Sonoma 14.7.1)
Think I already replied to you on Facebook but will say it here too. I always uninstall the previous version with the uninstalled, install the new version and then create a new user profile. Every release. Whole process is only about 10minutes. Doing that is the primary reason I think that my avid almost NEVER crashes. But who knows maybe I'm just a creature of habit :)
Avid has always been a more manual app than the others. One of my favourite things about it. You can keyframe motion or track points in the frame for the title to follow. Then you can save those titles to a bin to use later. I now have a bin full of my own custom templates for all kinds of titles that serve me for most situations. Besides this is the first iteration of this titler with more updates to it to come.
@@theavidassistant the old Avid had templates ready. and they could also be created and now with the new AVID all that disappeared. I remember when I even had to be brands for chapters. The idea is to make the editor's job easier. Don't complicate it by doing everything by hand, since it takes a lot of time.
Is that what they call an Update? I was expecting something more radical and not that crude Update of the Avid Titler. It is a shame for us who used the old Avid. And also a fiasco with the free version of Avid. Avid Titler is a SHAME, GENTLEMEN OF AVID.
Thanks Jack ! Again a great pleasure to see your Avid news !
The spot to timecode dropped my mouth. This will save so many AEs so much time.
Thanks Jack - Extremely helpful as always! I can't wait to install 24.10 and get a feel for these improvements myself!
Most excellent, thanks for all you do!

Background colour for speakers is a great ID!
Danke!

OK, I am going to do the update. You convinced me!
Good stuff.
46:35 since when is Avid able to boost a Audiotrack more than 12dB????
That was added in 2023.8 last year. You can boost up to 36dB :)
@ nice not only 12db and another 12db with keyframes

@@theavidassistant thanks
The funny thing about transcripts through AI models is that even tho it’s marked in portuguese, it will translate the bits in english from the audio.
Interesting. Is the language hint set to Portuguese or "multilingual"? I've found weird issues with the default setting and I always have to force mine to English.

@ yeah, that’s me asking the same question in both places. Thanks again.
Sweet
What happens with your old Titler + titles in a sequence when you use the new Titler +?
I'm still running tests on this. We are supposed to be able to promote them to the new titler but I'm having some trouble doing so.
and where are the titles in motion? do they have to be created manually? that's why Adobe, Davinci and Final Cut Pro win.
Avid has always been a more manual app than the others. One of my favourite things about it. You can keyframe motion or track points in the frame for the title to follow. Then you can save those titles to a bin to use later. I now have a bin full of my own custom templates for all kinds of titles that serve me for most situations.

just drop titler tool and add any effect. its better than titler plus 👍

avid is behind in features compared to Resolve and Premiere Pro.
@@d.edwardsfreelanceeditorvi4212 You are absolutely right, avid is a disgrace.
Thank you!
