copying text attributes (font, colours ...)

PostSun Jun 26, 2022 7:35 pm

Is there a way to quickly and easily copy/paste (or otherwise duplicate) the TEXT attributes of a text+ clip to others?

There is such a strong case for this, please tell me I can ...

I am using Resolve to make music videos which very often have lyric titles. They also need to be in various different social media platforms, making promo clips, etc. Generally I start off with a landscape video and put all the lyric titles on it. When I duplicate the timeline and change format, I often want to change size, position, maybe font of all the titles (there can be 20 or 30 of tem).

I also tried selecting multiple clips hoping to format them en masse, byt unfortunately all the dialogues to change font, borders etc disappear when I do this.

surely there has to be a way ... !?

Currently, there is no way. :(

There is a section for Feature Requests, though.

viewforum.php?f=33

Best practice is to search first, to see if someone already asked. If not, post one idea per thread with a very brief description of the idea in the thread's title.

You can format multiple Text clips simultaneously, but not Text+ clips.
