A line of text or image on a title page that has been set to a key name will be automatically replaced by
the current value assigned to that key when the page is displayed.
There are endless uses for this technology, and a wealth of methods to provide and update the values
assigned to
DataLink keys
. For one example, refer to the heading Title Pages and DataLink in Section
7.1.3. See also Section 11.1.2 to see how
DataLink
can draw on metadata you enter for video clips to
automatically update title page values. You can also take advantage of the DataLink extension for the
popular Chrome web browser, which makes it easy to populate title pages across the network from a
browser running on virtually any platform.

The
Presets
control at top-right in the
Title Editor
pops up a bin with 8 preset slots.
When you move the mouse over a preset slot, a
Snapshot
(camera) gadget is shown.
Clicking this gadget stores the current title page, including any settings applied in the
Position
panel. Right-click to
Clear
or
Update
the preset using the context menu.
A similar preset gadget appears in the header label of the
Titles Overlay
control in
the

. Clicking it opens the preset bin, to permit you to quickly change from
one preset to the next during production.
