<p>I also have an idea, if your sequence and titles are too complicated you can save a copy of your project and then import a sequence from it to the main project.</p>

<p>It's best possible solution to copy title I've found with motion titles templates. </p>

I voted for this answer, giving you the benefit of the doubt.  It is a correct answer.  But it can be worded better, to be a more authoritative answer.  Please do edit it, writing as if you have an explanation to give, not just a hunch.

Thanks for your contribution. Don't hesitate to leave detailed instructions on what to do, next time though, with a breakdown of the steps one should take (where to click, etc) to achieve what you describe.

<p>Duplicate both your Title and your sequence, call one sequence V1...and the other V2, then take your title and call it Title V1 and title V2...then replace the title in sequence 2 with V2, then from that point on any changes made within the V1 side will not affect V2 and vise versa.</p>

Understood and thanks. However my preference was that when Premiere Pro is copying a sequence, that it would also make true, independent copies of the components that the copy of the sequence should contain. It's inconvenient that this has to be considered manually by the user.

Yea unfortunately it just doesn't work that way...your looking for the FCP way, this is the AVID way of thinking where the title essentially is its own footage, if you want to different versions of a title, much like too different takes of a shot, then you literally need two versions of that title.

+1 and accepted - it tells me that what I want is not quite possible (yet). Thanks. Which version of FCP by the way do we see this in? I also have FCP 7 - the last (I think) version before X.

Yes when you use FCP and you duplicate a sequence everything is copied, with the exception of nested sequences, if you change a nested sequence it will change in both, but I do not recommend using nesting sequences if it can be avoided
