Like i wrote in the earlier post,

try to unistall the Sony software, restart your computer and i think your title tool will work.

This is what made my title tool work!

Hi

Can one of the modoraters escalate this issue?

I can confirm the bug on a fully supported xw8600 system

I have the save title problem but the title tool has a string of other problems including: lack of kerning withing a line (Alt+arrows), One font size only in a block of text etc.

It seems that in the rewrite for MC6 a number of useful features have been missed

AndersL:

We have discovered its a Sony plugin related issue.

If you remove all the Sony PDWU1/U2, FAM and ama plugins from your computer it should work again.

I get the weird save now and again (ohh and lots of other weird stuff!).

I have loaded P2 AMA plugins but am not aware I have anything Sony.  How do you check/delete?

Thanks

I have googled the world wide web but cannot seem to find the untility 2.3.0 from sony. There is a 3.1.1. Has any one had any luck with 3.1.1?

"Legacy Software"

or this one

type pdw-u1

software/drivers tab.

I myself am running the 2.3.2 (the latest before v3 with pdw-u2 release) with the pdw-u1

I keep on using it, because discs made on the pdw-u1 with v3.x.x cannot be read with pdw-u1 that are still on 2.x.x VFAM drivers. (and most tv stations, are still on 2.x.x here)

While we are on the Title Tool - I cant get the cut/copy and paste to work between titles.  You used to be able to copy text in a title - close it and paste it into a new one.  I guess it no longer saves it in the clipboard.   

mmm

Trying to quit Avid, I get this message "please close the title tool first" - the Title Tool is long closed.  For anyone with same problem you have to ctrl alt del and close AvidTitleTool*32 via task manager!

I think the current Title Tool code was rewritten by Aliens or Interns. Or Alien Interns. Either way it's an abomination.

"Trying to quit Avid..." sounds like a line from Brokeback Mountain.

If you are working with XDcam material, and the XDcam Drive utility software is running in the background, you have to exit from the software by right clicking on utility in toolbar. For some reason, the title tool app. doesn't like to work properly with XDcam workflow. Also, when you close out of title tool, you'll notice that the app. is still open on the lower toolbar. You can exit it from there without the "cntrl.alt.del." method. I have been experiencing the same issues since our Symph. 6 upgrades. Hopefully AVID will work out the BUGS!!!  Hope this helps...

so dissapointed. 6.03 STILL has the same problem  - intermitently giving the message " a title is currently being saved.  Do you really want to close the title tool" and when you hit "yes" it loses all your work.

This is a know bug documented back to the 1st release of MC6

does anyone have a work around?

I had the same problem. I found that it only happens if you move through timelime with effect editor open. So if you close it before editing next title, then everything should be ok.

Having the same issue with Title Tool. I'm on Avid 7 Mac. Title tool opens, I can type.  When I close it, the title is not saved.  It's in a weird state between being open and closed and not saved.  When I open title tool again, my text is still there.  

So strange.
