It gets worse-- if you try to center up single-name lines in a crawl with double-name guttered lines, which is a pretty standard layout for end titles, the tab points simply do not work. You'd normally lay out a flush-right, center, and flush-left tab on the ruler and be able to center those single-name lines with two Tab keypresses.
Don't work. The only way I've been able to center a crawl in Boris Title3D is by adjusting the *window*. Anybody have a cure?
For crawls I go to InDesign, which has predictable tab tools, and PDF that into Photoshop for file layout and 90% vertical squish for ntsc, and then into FCP to animate. That's worked well.
I sure wish I could get Tilte 3D's tabs to work. I like the convenience and the crawl move isn't bad.
