Setting Title Name to a user-entered text value

Hi

Can you please provide screen shots so that we get a visual reference of the problem you are describing?

I sounds to me like you are talking about the way a text layer updates the name to match the text entered in the text field, but then, after a while, or for new text layers, this stops working. Is this the situation you are describing?

What to you mean by 'text template' ...do you mean a text layer?

If it is the topic I think it is,..then in my experience, it is just a function in Motion that works properly sometimes and then at other times it doesn't. I have never found a way to add a text layer and then use a specific process to ensure the text layer name continues to update properly according to the text field, it just stops working at some stage, or it keeps working...it has always seemed to be a bug, and if it is user error, it never mattered to figure it out, because it is not an impediment at all to building a graphic or template for FCP.

Some do, some don't, why, who knows? Maybe Fox will chime in on this.
