Hi there,
I'm trying to find the best way to do this but it doesn't seem as clear as I'd like.
Often when I'm creating videos, I'll grab the Title I want but then make various changes - transform, position, font size etc etc - Is there a way to save all those changes so that when I drag over the Title it already has all my changes applied?
thanks a lot!

The part relating to text is easy: you can save a Text Style. Click "Normal" in the Text Inspector - that is really a popup menu and you can save your style.
This, however, does not save changes applied in the Video Inspector, like Transform or Scale.
If you have Motion, a better solution is to control-click the title you want, choose Open a Copy in Motion, make the desired changes, and save. This will add a new title, which of course you can name, that will always be available to you from the Title Browser.

Thanks for that Luis.
I don't have Motion, unfortunately, so won't be able to do the second part. But saving the Text Style is definitely useful though so I'll do that for now!
Thanks a lot
A way you can speed up the process is by pasting the attributes (the transforms) from a finished title to the others.
Select a title that has all the transforms applied and copy it. Then when you've roughly created all the remaining titles, select them all and choose Command+Shift V to paste attributes. You can either select them directly in the timeline or use the Timeline Index. In the paste attributes dialog, enable the transforms you want pasted.
