title overlay & syncing to video timeline

[P.Schuman]

I'm run into this little annoying tidbit.
Titles are placed on the timeline in the "titles overlay" bar.
However, they are synced to the overall timeline,
and not to their relative place within a video clip,
if placed "over" a video clip.

Then - if I trim a video - all the video shifts -
BUT the overlay titles do not.
I then have to manually re-adjust ALL the overlays
as they are pasted relative to the timeline,
not the clips they are overlaying.

I wish that MM would sync the "overlay titles"
to the video clip, and keep them in place relative
to the start of that specific video clip....

Yes unfortunately that is the way it works. You can't actually "attach" the
overlay to the video so that they move as one unit. It is best to get your
videos the way you want them and then add the overlay's to minimize those
kind of adjustments.

well - ok for editing video with the training wheels software
As we learn, we notice things for any future software...

What Wojo said ... or what I do is select the first overlay,
then press Control + A to select them all ... when I move
the first one into place, they all go where they need to go.
