Jim,

That's a pretty good workf= low for what you do, and I have to agree with most of your points. But the = capability exists because sometimes, just sometimes, you have text in a PSD= you want to edit. :)

Gee, wel= l color me embarrassed. =A0I've been avoiding creating type in Ps all t= his time.

But, there's another reason. =A0I still think Ae is the = place to do still frame graphics with text. =A0That's because it's = so easy to change fonts, sizes, color, etc. on a whole project when you put= all them in a single comp in Ae by selecting all the layers and then makin= g changes to all the text at once.

And plus, it's pretty simple to do alignments of al= l your text, if they all exist in a single Comp in Ae.

=
I do this: Create text in Ae, where each "page" of text is o= ne frame in duration. =A0All my text has a common BG that's on the lowe= r layers in the Comp. =A0Export as a numbered still sequence, like PNG, and= bring those into Pr for placement.

If there are any changes, I can make them in Ae, design= ate those frames as the Work Area, and re-render, over-writing the existing= files. =A0Then the changes show up automatically in Pr.

Jim,
I remember it was in CS3... but that was my first version, so beyond that = I have no idea.
