Boris calligraphy

Hey new user here. I purchased final cut studio about a month ago. I used A bunch of Boris trial products and after getting rid of them I managed to also get rid of my boris calligraphy.
Does anybody know a way to reinstall them without reinstalling final cut studio all over again? I see title 3d and title crawl but I am missing Text Scrambler and Vector Shapes. I am using final cut studio 5.04.

I don't have a definite answer, sorry, just a suggestion or two.
You might try using spotlight on your installer disks and see if Boris products turn up, I think they are isolated installations.
Also drop by the borisfx.com site, great tech support.
and welcome to the family

  • FCE 4 Installation (Boris Calligraphy 2.1 Plugins problems)

  • Boris Calligraphy-TITLE 3D Keyframing

    Hi all. I read an article by Ken Stone about using title 3d to make text zoom out of the page using the motion key settings. I am able to do it in the viewer and canvas but despite hours of using different combinations I cannot get it to work in the timeline. All forums indicate that the manual included with FCE is wrong with regard to keyframing. Even on the Boris website I could not get a definitive answer to the problem.
    Has anybody any experience of using title 3d in FCE or knows of any good sources of info.
    Many thanks

    Yes you can.
    "I am able to do it in the viewer and canvas but despite hours of using different combinations I cannot get it to work in the timeline"
    The Timeline and Canvas are representations of the same thing. When the Canvas is playing what you see matches the playhead in the Timeline.
    You should be able to get those titles to fly around the screen and right off screen or even get smmaller or bigger as it does its thing, throw in a spin as well if you like.
    You have to enable Image+Wireframe before starting.

  • Boris Calligraphy, Title 3D, and Final Cut Express HD 3.5

    Help!!
    So I'm working through Tom Wolsky's book (Final Cut Express HD 3.5 editing workshop) and I just got to lesson 12 to work with Title 3D. Well when I go to start the lesson, I try to call up the Title 3D from the generator menu in the viewer. The pop-up displays all the different selections except for Boris/Title 3D. I can't find it anywhere on the program. I've searched in my preferences folder on my HD and I noticed that the BorisFX plugins where installed and that Title 3D (in the Final Cut Express preferences folder) was also there. I've tried discarding the plugins and reinstalling them and that doesn't even seem to work. Does anyone have any idea why my FCE will not let me access Title 3D? Anyone else come across this problem? Tom, what do you think?

    I tried reinstalling - no joy.
    After some digging around on Google I found this forum post:

    Looks like the QuickTime 7.4 update broke a number of things including the Boris plug-ins. Basically they have lost their bundle flags so are not being recognised by Final Cut Express (or Pro). If you look at one of the replies to the above post there's a link to a file you can download which contains plug-ins with the bundle flag set - here's a direct link to the file:
    http://www.borisfx.com/download_files/CalligraphyForFCP.dmg
    Just copy the Title 3D.bundle and Title Crawl.bundle files to the following folder, overwriting the existing ones:
    /Library/Application Support/Final Cut Express Support/Plugins
    This fixed the problem for me.

  • Boris calligraphy disappearead

    I had a FCP 5.1 version, for the first time on my Imac. Step by step, it's been upgraded to 5.1.2.
    For my last project I wanted to use the Boris text tool, but it disappeared from the Video Generators Folder. In another forum, someone else has the same problem...
    any idea, or help?
    thanks guys
    emanuele

    check in the following path:
    Macintosh HD / Library / Application Support / Final Cut Pro System Support / Plugins
    you should see, amongst others : Title 3D.bundle, Title Crawl. bundle, Text Scambler.bundle, Vector Shape.bundle
    are they there?
    also look in :
    Macintosh HD / Library / Application Support /
    do you see a folder entitled BorisFX?

  • Boris Calligraphy - what is key to seeing adjustments in canvas

    I've successfully been working through the lessons in Tom Wolsky's great book on FCE 4, in the lesson I am able to see changes made in the Controls tab reflected in the canvas, so I can set distance (type farther or nearer) and see the change in canvas. I have the Titling clip selected in the timeline where it has been 'superimposed' over the video.
    Problem: when I copy and paste that title into my own video then superimposing it over the video (moving it from the viewer over the canvas and dropping it onto superimpose) and watching that it is selected and everything is the same (to me) then making changes in the Controls tab in the viewer are not reflected in the Canvas window. The text in the Canvas window just sits there and does not change when I move controls.
    How come it works in one project and not in the next?

    You have to make sure that the text clip in the Viewer window comes from the Timeline; place the Timeline playhead on the text clip, then double-click the clip in the Timeline to load it into the Viewer. Now when you adjust the various parameters in the control tab, you should see them in the Canvas window.

  • Boris 3D titles disappear when more than one font/size used

    I've had a LOT of two-line supers created in Boris 3D (the first and second line are either different fonts or two different sizes of the same font) go invisible without any reasonable explanation.
    This has happened on 3 or 4 different Macs of various configurations, running both FCP6/Leopard and FCP7/Snow Leopard. It's not limited to just one typeface (which is what I thought at first)... it even happens with Mac basic system fonts.
    What happens is: I or another editor will create the supers...everything appears fine. They render fine. But if the project moves from one edit suite to another (running the same version of FCP), any unrendered supers become invisible. Clips are on the timeline, but will not display on-screen. Even retyping or re-rendering them doesn't make them visible... the only way to get them back is to completely re-make the super from scratch. Ironically, I can use exactly the same fonts, and it will work if I start over from scratch.
    Beyond that, if I double-click on any rendered super, the second line will disappear from the Boris plug-in text window, and the super will go unrendered and will disappear.
    Copying and pasting a rendered super into a new location on the timeline also won't work.
    We've now had three or four feature-length documentaries over the last 18 months where EVERY super in the entire show has required retyping from scratch, at major cost and expense.
    Since the problem has occurred in several edit suites, I'm assuming this is not a problem unique to our projects.
    Anyone?

    Maybe this will help:
    There is an update available for the Boris Calligraphy package that comes bundled with FCP6/7 that addressed a bunch of font/crashing issues with Boris Title 3D.

  • BORIS MISSING

    I have, per recommendations from you smart guyz, done a fresh install in Panther, FCP and all... Actually, I have only QT, FCP and a couple minor thing on the drive... no imovie, i photo, mail, or anything that I won't actually need for FCP work,,, Lean and mean. All seems well.
    I cannot though, get Boris to work. I can see it in the applications support, but the style palette will not show when I call up Title 3d or Text crawl. I remember there was a fix for this, but I just can't remember and the archives didn't show me anything.
    Help!
    Jenny

    OK,
    Thanks for the tip.
    (time, time, time while She does what's suggested...)
    NOPE! Didn't work.
    It installed BorisFX and Boris FX in the Application Support folder and Boris Calligraphy in the Plug-ins folder. 3d and Crawl show up in the effects tab but still no style palette.
    I tried moving the FX folders to the plug ins but that didn't help, either. So I moved them back... Well, actually I trashed it all and installed Boris again.
    What next?

  • Is there a manual for boris title 3D?

    Can't find anything in the index for the fcp manual. Trying to figure out how to use the style palette. However it's supposed to work, it sure isn't intuitive. Unless of course, it's not supposed to work (just implemented in a version you have to pay for).

    thanks David.

  • Boris Title 3D freezing?

    Greetings
    Sometimes when I open up Boris Title 3D to copy the text box and put it into a word document,
    it freezes on me.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    Have you updated Boris Title 3D to the latest version (2.2)?
    Boris Title 3D is actually Boris Calligraphy, if you need to update go to
    www.borisfx.com
    and click on Support > Updates > Calligraphy
    You will need to register on the site to download.
    This fixed a problem Boris Title 3D had with some Microsoft Office installed fonts.

  • Final Cut 6, can I reinstall just Boris

    Yes, I'm still running Final Cut 6 and yes it's been working perfectly up till now.
    Running OS 10.6.8
    Recently I've been having problems using Boris Calligraphy inside Final Cut, Once I create the title and try to apply it to my timeline, the whole program shuts down
    I'm thinking I want to reinstall Boris but going thru my install disks, I didn't see (even in the Extras folder) a separate option for Boris. I didn't want to go all through the install (OK guess that makes me lazy) and I would rather not reinstall the entire program
    If I keep going thru the install process will there be a step to reinstall just Boris?
    Thanks in advance

    Before starting the reinstallation process, you might want to try trashing your FCP Preferences first to see if that helps solve the wonky behavior. (Digital Rebellion's free Preference Manager  is the go to app to clean them out)
    If you go the reinstallation route, be sure to use DR's FCS Remover to clear out your old installation.
    Many of us who do clean installs regularly have made disc images of the FCS media and stored them on an external Firewire or USB drive. This allows a fairly quick (20-40 minute) reinstall of the whole suite.
    There is a link to how to do this as a sticky as part of the FCS forum.
    good luck,

  • Boris 3D issues

    has anyone had any issues in Boris 3D where you try to highlight the text and can't.
    I have reopened FCP many times to see if the system just got bogged down but that didn't solve it.
    Boris is acting very weird. If I try to open another piece of text I created, sometimes I can highlight the text (ie: to change color, size, etc.) but the highlight does not appear normal. it is off center. any suggestions?

    I don't recall if there is a separate checkbox item to install Boris Calligraphy (Title 3D and the other Boris FX items) in FCP 5.1. Assuming there is not, then you'll have to reinstall Final Cut in order to reinstall the BorisFX titling generators.
    There are two folders in /Library/Application Support named BorisFX and Boris FX. If you decide to reinstall Final Cut, you'll need to trash both folders first.
    Unless someone has a new idea, I'd say you are at that point.

  • Where to locate Text Scrambler & Vector Shape Generator in Boris ?

    My FCE4 installation disc comes with Boris Calligraphy User Guide Version 2.0.
    I printed out the pdf file of Boris Calligraphy User Guide Version 2.0.
    In it, there are chapters on Text Scrambler & Vector Shape Generator but how do I access this Generator in FCE4 ? I can only see Title3D Generator and Title Crawl Generator.
    Thanks

    I don't know of any such generators that come with FCE. Perhaps Boris included the documentation so if you like Title3D and Title Crawl then you will purchase the newer generators. I am pretty sure that the others you mention aren't included with FCE4.

  • Boris Title 3-D problem

    When I attempt to create a title in Boris Title 3-D, FCP suddenly quits. Then that file will not reopen (I see it briefly and then it crashes again). It does not quit when I use other text options. Do you have any suggestions on fixing this problem?
