CS3 Pro ; Export Text Template

Question

Hello. I am new to Premiere altogether. I am wondering if it's entirely possible to export an Adobe Premiere title template as a .psd file, and if this is possible, how can I do it?
You see, for some reason, Premiere is being highly incosistent recognizing a lot of my videos that I have taken with Fraps. I was told on the Fraps forums to try using a different software, most specifically, Camtasia Studios.
All of my videos depend on a specific text template that can only be found within Adobe Premiere, so I am wondering if it is at all possible to either:
A) Use it with a different program
or:
B) Export is as a .psd file so I can modify it to my will in photoshop and then put it on my footage in Camtasia studio.
Thanks so much!

Answer 1

In PrPro, you can Save your Title as a Template (PTRL) file, and this is available from the Toolbar's Title drop-down. You will then be able to use this Template in other Projects (choose Title>Based on Template>User Templates). You can still edit that Text, as is needed. If you need multiple such Titles (not just instances of the one), repeat the above, Name them as is appropriate, and make the changes in Titler.
I have created and Saved many such Templates, with various Styles, for various uses, and then just Import them, as per above, Rename them to suit, and edit the Template Text, per my Project's requirements. Works a treat, is easy, allows access globally for all of your Projects, and has only one flaw, that I can see - no program, other than Titler in PrPro/PrE can edit a PRTL file. Still, Titler is pretty good, so that is only a tiny issue for me, as I would often like to have the full PRTL in Photoshop. I have filed Feature Requests for this over the years and versions, but must be the only person, who would like that capability.
Good luck,
