It seems that I cannot enter a special character into the text of a title with Alt-0xxx, even though this works with just about all other Windows applications. Is this a feature or a bug? Or is there a way to do this that I'm unaware of?
For the moment I'm entering the special characters into a text editor, then copying and pasting them into the title, which works, but is awkward. I don't understand why VideoStudio doesn't let me enter the characters directly.
The characters in question are things like typographic quotes, some accented characters, bugs like copyright and registered trademark, and other things that are not unusual to need to use in a title.

Re: Entering special characters with Alt-xxx into titles
Are you using a keyboard set up in US format? That is what works for me with Alt+ the ANSI codes... Otherwise, for other languages like Cyrillic, I definitely have to use, for example, Insert > Symbol in Word then Copy > Paste as you have found works.

No I don't think it is a bug as I use two other Video Editors and neither of them work with the Alt + Numbers. I find using Character map the simple way as that saves opening another program!

Re: Entering special characters with Alt-xxx into titles
I'm in the US and have a US Keyboard setup, but cannot enter ALT+xxxx into Titles. I can do it in other places in CVS where the controls are common Microsoft text boxes.
