How do you reverse the direction of a build in title?

I use Final Cut Pro X, and for a build in title, how would you reverse the direction? For example, One of the build in titles is called "Knock Out", and the words come into the frame away from you, but how do you make the words go the other way, and go towards you?
If you don't understand what I mean, that effect is called "knock out", and you can look at it in your application.
I know how to reverse clips, but that does not work with transitions/title effects
Thank you!

This particular title does not offer many options for customization; in particular, no option for working the other around, as you want.
I can think of a few options for this. The easiest is would be to make the title by itself into a compound clip; but I have just tried it and it does not work, because the blend mode of the text (stencil alpha) does not propagate down inside a compound clip. (If it did, you'd just have to reverse the compound).
Another option is to open a copy in Motion and make changes there. If you have Motion, this will allow you to adjust as you wish.
Yet another easy way may be to "construct" this title yourself right in FCP X.
Insert the "Custom" title, adjust the text font, change the blend mode to Stencil Alpha, and keyframe the scale.

  • How do you change the direction of a Tween Wipe effect

    Hi all,
    Completely new to the forums and I hopefully my query is straight forward.  How do you change the direction in the pre-built tween effects available within Flash CS3 (primarily the Wipe effect).  Example code:
    var Animate_Box:Tween = new Tween(Box, "height", Strong.easeInOut, 0, 200, 1, true);
    OR
    var Animate_Box_2:Object = {type:Wipe, direction:Transition.IN, duration:1, easing:Strong.easeInOut};
    TransitionManager.start(Box_2, Animate_Box_2);
    Many thanks in advance.
    Kam
    ANSWERED:
    Sorry for posting something so pointless!
    You simply add 'startPoint:5' onto the end i.e.
    var Animate_Box_2:Object = {type:Wipe, direction:Transition.IN, duration:1, easing:Strong.easeInOut, startPoint:5'};
    TransitionManager.start(Box_2, Animate_Box_2);
    startPoint:5' = can be any number depending on the direction of the Wipe you want.
    Thanks,
    Kam

    What you really want is a way of automatically mirroring the the X and/or Y coordinates of the keyframes within the effect. This ability would be very useful.
    But right now there's no way to do that. You'd have to do it manually. That effect actually uses the Slide parameter to generate the movement (instead of a discreet X/Y coordinate for the position.) Changing the first keyframe value of the Slide parameter to a negative number still doesn't give the effect I think you're looking for.
    So, it's probably easier to just rebuild the effect the way you want it from scratch.

  • Scrolling photo in iMovie-- how do I reverse the direction?

    My boss created a video where he inserted a photo at the end and somehow made it scroll down, so we see the bottom of the image first, then it scrolls, ending with the top.  We want to reverse it so it scrolls so you see the top first, ending with the bottom.  He has no idea how he did it in the first place, so I have no way of reveresing it, and have not been able to find an answer elsewhere.  Version of iMovie is 10.0.2.  Instructions/help needed.  Thank you!

    Sounds to me like he (intentionally or not) used the Ken Burns Effect.
    The Ken Burns effect allows you to create movement in still photographs. You set a starting point and a finish point and iMovie pans between to the two points.
    What I think you need to do is simply reverse the start and end points.
    He's some information that should help:

  • How do you reverse the polarity of a track in GB?

    I use GarageBand to mix multi-channel audio (while listening to a stereo mix) then export it to A.Pack or SurCode for the final 5.1 mix to disc. I have a less than one year old Pioneer 7.1 receiver and 5 polk audio speakers from my attempted home theater that i now occasionally use to watch DVDs on my mac (using the optical audio). I was wondering if i would be able to set the tracks to certain balances (i.e. FL -127 C+0 FR+127) to output a form of Dolby pro logic to my reciver to simulate a final mix, but to get a rear channel in the mix, i would need to make one of my rear tracks' polarity reversed. Is there a plug-in to do this, or any other suggestions?

    A quick trawl in Google didn't throw up any Audio Units which would reverse the phase, but possibly if you did a more exhaustive search you might find one. This would be the easier answer.
    Otherwise you could do it by getting 'Amadeus II' from
    http://www.hairersoft.com
    This costs $30.
    To do this: choose the tracks you want to be on the rear channel. Centre them with the pan control and mute all the others. Export to iTunes. drag the resultant file to the dekstop and open it in Amadeus. Select one channel only.
    From the 'Effects' menu choose 'Stereo Utilities' then 'Invert Phase'. Save, and then drag the file back into GarageBand. You can now mute or delete the tracks which made up this rear channel.
    Strictly, to be a proper Dolby ProLogic track the rear channel should be Dolby B encoded: it might be worth turning up the top a bit to allow for this.
    Remember that in playback on a ProLogic decoder the rear channel is filtered below 100Hz and above 7kHz (it is only intended as an effects channel).

  • How Do You Change the Direction of an Effect?

    Hey everyone!
    I've been searching for a clear answer on this all over the web, and can't seem to find anything.
    I want to change the starting direction of a title effect - Motion Blur Left specifically, so that it goes from the left side of the screen to the right instead of from the right to the left.
    Anyone know if this is possible? Thanks!

    What you really want is a way of automatically mirroring the the X and/or Y coordinates of the keyframes within the effect. This ability would be very useful.

  • W540 How do you reverse the hotkeys back to the function keys without Fn

    Just got my thinkpad W540. want to be able to swith between the hotkeys and the function keys. Is there an easy way to do this?

    Good day and welcome to the community.
    On my newer ThinkPads, pressing the Fn key and tapping ESC turns on FnLk (small LED on the key lights up) and the F keys then invoke F1, F2, etc.
    Hope this helps.

  • On Ios 7 how do you delete songs directly on the iPhone

    on ios 7 how do you delete songs directly on the phone

    i think i stumbled onto a solution.
    the upgrade to os7 brought a bunch of music into my phone i didn't care to hear anymore.
    (free downloads from the itunes twitter feed..some of them are good, most of them i normally delete immediately)
    i had 3 pesky songs that would not allow me to delete.
    every other song in my library gave me the option to delete, just not the ones i never wanted to hear again.
    ..super frustrating when the song keeps starting over everytime you touch it while scrambling for a delete option.
    they were purchases which i'd hidden.
    i plugged to computer and tried to use iTunes to delete but they did not appear.
    all "show all" options for music and video were off.
    itunes match was off.
    all automatic downloads were off.
    "show all music" was off.
    i logged out of my apple ID for several minutes.
    i think this may have given time for my account to resynchronize the items i didn't want to see anymore.
    i've logged back in and they're still gone.
    i don't care if i hear a new eric clapton song again for the rest of the year thank you.

  • If you right-click an image you can select to "Block Images" from the site, but how do you reverse this choice?

    If you right-click an image on a web page you can select to
    "Block Images from [the url of the site]".
    This works well, particularly to make the page printer-friendly, but how do you reverse this choice to see the images again?

    You can see all permissions for the current page in Tools > Page Info > Permissions
    If it is from a different domain then use this:
    *A way to see which images are blocked is to click the favicon (<i>Site Identification</i> icon) on the left side of the location bar.
    *A click on the "More Information" button will open the Security tab of the "Page Info" window (also accessible via "Tools > Page Info").
    *Open the <i>Media</i> tab of the "Page Info" window.
    *Select the first image and scroll down though the list with the Down arrow key.
    *If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "<i>Block Images from...</i>" then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.

  • How do I reverse the order of file lists in finder?

    When I display a finder page with icons the sort is ascending (A-Z), but when I use the list function it is decending (Z-A).  How do I reverse the list order?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We're users here and don't speak for "Apple, Inc."
    In Finder icon view, click the Arrange button and select which column you'd like to sort by.
    In Finder list view, click the top header of any column to sort by that column. Clicking the same header again reverses the sort order (and the small 'arrow' at the end of the column name reverses direction too).
    And using Finder, View, Customize Toolbar the Finder window toolbar can be customized to display icons only, text only or both, as well as adding additional icons to the default toolbar:

  • How do I set the direction of the sync?

    How do I set the direction of the sync? I recall from days past that there was a window that let you choose whether to "upload" the info from your computer or "download" the info from the .MAC account. In this case I am trying to import my address book from the .MAC server. What are the new steps in 10.4? or where can this sync direction window be found?
    -todd

    Under Mac OS X 10.4 and later, the synchronization of information with .Mac is no longer the responsibility of iSync, but is instead controlled through a preference pane in the System Preferences application.
    A forum dedicated to .Mac Sync is located here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=957
    Assuming that your machine is registered with .Mac and currently able to synchronize data bidirectionally, this is how you reset your data:
    • launch System Preferences
    • select the .Mac preference pane
    • press the Advanced tab
    • press the Reset Sync Data… button
    • choose one or all registered data categories from the drop down Replace: menu
    • pick a data flow direction (by default, it is set to FROM .Mac TO your computer)
    • press the Replace button

  • How do you reverse a goods receipt document of a service entry sheet?

    Hi SAP experts,
    How do you reverse a goods receipt document of a service entry sheet? Your help/opinions will be highly appreciated. Thanks!

    You can sue the ML81N itself to delete the service entry sheet and once you will delete the SES, system will generate the Material document for reversal of GR.
    Go to ML81N and enter the service number and change the screen to change mode.
    If release statergy is used for this then cancel the release using the same statergy.
    Click Revoke acceptance button or Ctrl + F2.

  • I just synced my iPhone and lost all the info in notes from my phone. It was replaced with whT was on my iMac how do you make the sync go from phone to desktop and not the other way around

    I Just synced my iPhone and lost all the info in notes I had on the phone. How do you have the info sync from phone to desktop and not the other way around as I usually make contact changes etc on my phone. I would then like to be able to sync that info from desktop to ipad thanks

    It does make sense.  The iPhone is a one-person device and just syncs to one computer.
    The way it should work is as follows:
    Old computer content ---> New computer
    New computer <---> syncs to iPhone
    But the way you are trying to operate sounds like:
    Old computer content ---> iPhone
    ... and ...
    New computer content <---> iPhone
    So simply move your old stuff (either directly from iTunes, or from a computer backup) to the new computer, have it all there, then sync your iPhone to the new machine.

    I just updated to 10.8 Mountain Lion from 10.7.5.  Now I must enter my admin password each time I attempt to access my main hard drive.  How do I reverse the need for the password?  It's a real PAIN! 

    I'd think you have a Keychain problem (Keychain storing passwords and the likes).
    When you are being asked, are you offered the checkbox, "Remember this password in my Keychain"? If so, check and see if it stops asking.

  • Using Acrobat 9.5.5, I scanned a catalog in several segments, to merge later. How do I reverse the order of pages of the back side (odd) pages, and can I renumber each set as even numbers only and odd numbers only?

    I scanned a catalog for my archive - double sided pages of course.
    It was easy enough to scan the front pages first (odd numbers, 1-3-5) , in several sets of 30 pages, therefore several separate pdfs.
    Then I scanned the back side (even numbers 2-4-6) pages but in their natural reverse order, rather than manually reordering all 300 pages.
    Now I need to reorder the even pages which are naturally in reverse page number order (300-298-296...)
    and I need to renumber all of the pages as only odd or even numbers - set 1: pages 1-3-5-7... Set 2: 2-4-6-8...
    Then I can merge everything into one pdf.
    How can I reverse the page order?
    How can I renumber pages as only even or only odd numbers?
    Anyone have these solutions?  I don't use much of acrobats features, but it seems to be a pretty basic demand to be included. I can't find any clue in the software menus or online help.

    You can do such ordering with JavaScript. There is a recent post with a JavaScript for dealing with another aspect of page order that might provide what you want. You will have to search the forum for the post that was about 2 or 3 weeks ago as I recall.
