Creating a preset title with animation

Question

Hello all,
I'm trying to create a title (or lower 3rd/name strap to be precise) which can be set up for use on other machines running PPro CS5.
I designed and created everything in After Effects, thinking I could save this as a title preset for Premiere (just like you can with Motion to FCP). I've since learnt that this can't be done (is this right? Am I missing something?). I've almost worked out how to recreate the same animation etc. in Premiere. My question is how do I package or collect the layers and assets into one simple title preset? One which I can save onto other machines for other users without them having to do any fiddly recreation of my animation? Unfortunately I need the text to remain editable, otherwise I'd just hand over a movie or image sequence with an alpha embedded.
I thought this would be a relatively simple job seeing as Motion and FCP have it working so smoothly — After Effects is infinitely better than Motion and Dynamic Link seems too powerful a tool to not be able to make animated title presets somehow possible for Premiere. Hopefully I'm missing something.
I also have no preset titles from Adobe. We downloaded the production premium trail then brought the serials — could this be why I don't have the presets installed? Is it worth reinstalling form the same download link?
Thanks in advance.

The artwork started out as an exported frame from AE, so the positioning, scale and resolution were all perfectly set before coming into PrPro.
I tried a PSD, TIF and PNG, all gave much the same (very poor) results when imported as a logo. I realise I could have tried to create my elements in the titler to start with but the tools seem very limited.
My workaround was to create layered artwork in Photoshop and import them all one by one into the titler as logos, and edit the opacity there. The end product seems ok, with a few tiny alterations to the design, but such an incredibly laborious and seemingly stupid process to get there.
My original brief was to create title templates for non-editors (journalists throwing video clips together) to use without any fiddly workarounds, so I couldn't rely on them to import logos or animations to overlay onto the strap text or anything similar — it all had to be contained in the titler and saved as a preset.
The job's done now, but I find it hard to believe Adobe are so far behind Apple with this kind of thing. As I think I've mentioned previously in this thread, you can save Motion projects as templates for FCP, animations, imported assets and all. I assumed something similar would exist between AE and PrPro, but it either does not or it's very well hidden. That aside (maybe AE, being so much better than Motion, is just too complex to save as a title preset), I find it remarkable that the titler tool is so clunky and limited in what it can do — I can't even get it to import movie files, this is video editing software! I know AE can do everything, I've been working with it for years and I still learn something everyday, but that's no good if you need to make a PrPro title template for someone who doesn't use or even have AE.
I know all my moaning and whinging is useless until I make a feature request, but I'd be very grateful if someone can categorically confirm such features just aren't possible yet or whether I'm at fault and just haven't worked it out properly.
Many thanks for such quick and helpful responses.
