I want to save text presets in Final Cut

every time I search for an answer to my problem all I get is "edit it in motion". I don't have motion.

Once you set up a style for a title/text, in the Text panel of the inspector at the top you should see something like "Normal"... if you click on that label, you'll get a dropdown menu with a lot of preset styles [Do not select any of them before you save YOUR preset!] However, the top 3 selections of that menu allow you to save the text "formatting" as a custom style accessible from that dropdown menu. (I suggest using Save All Basic and Style Attributes). Make sure you do this immediately after setting all the attributes of your text (that includes Face > Color; Drop Shadow params... etc...). I've run into problems with FCPX not properly updating available parameters changing back and forth between titles and/or choosing a preset and attempting to Undo that preset to restore to the previous "condition." So, start with a "fresh" title, make your parameter selections and Save the preset (then test your preset!) [ I actually cannot find any mention of this in the documentation... so its stability is in question - at least to me.] Once you've successfully saved your Preset, it will always be available from that Style menu dropdown.

  • How do I preset a title text style in Final Cut Pro X?

    I want to use the same title stye again and again in Final Cut Pro X - font size, style, color. 
    Final Cut Pro is happy to have me "Save a Preset to Library", but then I never see it again.   When I go to the dropdown menu, all I get is Apple's list of truly hideous fonts like 80s, Aqua Fade, Candy, etc.
    I save my favorite style as "Basic" and that does nothing either - as soon as I add a new title and apply the "Basic" setting I get Apple's horrible Gil Sans again.  What's going on?
    Any tips on how to perform what should be a very simple operation?  Have spent more than an hour on this now.

    Well, Tom, I guess I'm just not as fortunate.  Anyone else have any suggestions?

  • Where is my text box in final cut pro? I cannot change the default text at all?

    Hi, as the title says, I use a default final cut pro title or ending for a video and I cannot change the text, all youtube tutorials just show that you click on the text box, the boxes appear, and then to the right in the text window you literally just type and change it, which ive done several times before, but I just got a new mac, and now that is impossible to do, what can I do? I dont want to upload videos that say, TEXT GOES HERE

    hey andy,
    i think what you're gonna have to do is just hit command 4!
    That should bring up the inspector where you can change the font!

  • Make Text Fit in Final Cut Pro 7

    In Final Cut Pro 7, is there a way to make text fit properly on your screen without manually hitting enter on each line? I’ll try to explain myself: I frequently use screens with a lot of writing. I write the text in the Controls tab of a text box. If I write a long sentence, the words will run off the screen even if I change the size of the font to a smaller one. I can stop that from happening by hitting enter midway through a sentence; the remainder of the sentence then moves to the line below. Since I’m writing a lot, I have to repeat this process a lot. It is kind of a guess and check procedure because I have to see how the screen looks after I hit enter each time. Can I do something so that Final Cut Pro 7 automatically moves text to the next line (just like it does when I’m typing in Word)?  
    Thank you for your help.

    For best results, don't use FCP's built-in text generators.  Instead, use the Boris Generators which came bundled with FCP.  For static text, use Boris 3D.   You can format the text just about anyway you want.

  • How do you type on a text transition on Final Cut Pro X?

    I am having trouble figuring out how to type on the ink splats title. Please give instructions that include where the buttons are, as I am just starting to use Final Cut Pro X.

    Move the playhead to where the text appears. Double click on each word to edit the Title and Subtitle separately. You can also click on the words and drag them on the screen to reposition them if necessary.  When you double click on the words, you can also alter their respective text properties by going into the Text inspector and changing the available aspects for each text element (like font, size, etc...)

  • Text tool crashes Final Cut Pro

    Hi all,
    Has anyone come across this before? If I try to use the text tool in FC, trying to open the 'control' tab stalls and crashes the system. Any ideas what could be causing this or how to fix it?
    Cheers,
    Justin.

    Hi,
    Thanks for the good advice. I did find one faulty font. However, the problem remains. Funny thing is, I can't change the settings on text that's already on the timeline without causing a crash. I used a crash analyzer and it says Final Cut crashed because there's flash on the timeline! None there, of course, and the timeline is ProRes so there should be no problem.
    Just got to finish these few videos before I upgrade to Snow Leopard. Any other suggestions?
    Justin.

  • Want to install MY copy of Final Cut Studio & change Name & Serials

    I want to install my personal copy of FCP onto an iMac I just purchased, but every time I restart it still says old name and old registration number. Tried deleting Library/Application Support/ProApps/Final Cut System ID....but still won't let me change registration info???

    I'm confused.
    You did a clean install of Final Cut Pro on a new iMac, and some other name and serial number comes up?
    That's not possible.

  • Photoshop file with lots of text layers for Final Cut

    I have created a photoshop file with around 20 different text layers. The sizing and the location of the layers is essential.
    When my editor imports the file the text layers lose their properties (sizing and placement).
    Is there something I should be doing to help solve this problem?
    Can you use text layers between photoshop and final cut?

    I would ask this in the 'Mac' side of the PS forum.

  • Interface text disappeared in Final Cut Express after upgrade to 10.6

    I just upgraded to Snow Leopard and now none of the interface text will display in Final Cut Express. (The top menus are OK, but no file or sequence titles, effects names, etc, within Final Cut project windows or the like.)
    Immediately after the upgrade I was presented with several "Font Conflict" errors claiming that some fonts had to be moved to the trash because they conflicted with system display fonts, and I said yes. The fonts were Helvetica, HelveticaNeue, and a couple of others.
    Any ideas of how I can get text back? Thanks!
    -i-

    I was able to fix this by restoring my ~/Library/Fonts folder from a backup prior to the 10.6 upgrade. After a restart I once again received the following errors:
    "There is a conflict with the _______ font file. This font file contains a font name that conflicts with a system font required by Mac OS X to display onscreen text. You should move this font file to the Trash."
    The fonts it said were conflicting: Helvetica, HelveticaNeue.dfont, Lucida Grande, and Monaco.
    This time I said "Allow Conflict" on all four dialog boxes and launched Final Cut... everything is back to normal!
    Not sure what kind of "conflict" it's referring to, but apparently moving these font files to the trash as OS X prompted me to do broke a number of apps.
    Should I report this as a bug?

  • New iPod Touch-want to load videos created using Final Cut Studio

    I'm unable to transfer movies I create on my Mac into the iPod Touch. I'm assuming all transfers to the iPod need to go through iTunes - is this correct?
    I created a video in Final Cut Pro, then compressed two versions of podcasts in Compressor.
    H.264 for iPod video and iPhone 320x320(QVGA)
    H.264 for iPod video and iPhone 640x640(QVGA)
    I then dragged them into iTunes library, thinking they would go into the Podcast folder, but instead they went to the Movie folder.
    I synced to the iPod, and they fail to transfer/load. I then selected "Create iPod or iPhone Version" from the iTunes "Advanced" menu in case there was some file issue, but was unsuccessful in dragging it to the Podcast folder.
    Does the iPod Touch sync up to all iTune's folders, or, is it limited to what's in the Podcast folder?
    Is there a utility that exists to verify the video files are of the correct format.
    Are there other steps I am missing?

    For anyone else in the same situation - videos created in Final Cut Pro and compressed using either of the Compressor settings will create podcasts that can be synced up and play on the iPod Touch,
    The problem was the "Sync Movies" setting - it was disabled. The challenge was finding the settings, and wouldn't have been an issue prior to release of version 3.0 software upgrade notice.
    The "Sync" settings were where I first looked, from within iTunes, but as I said, the device settings were being hidden by an "Apple commercial" for the version 3.0 software upgrade - once I clicked on "Remind Me Later" I was able to see the 8 tabbed configuration screen. I guess marketing trumps usability.

  • Color Resolution Presets and Final Cut fullscreen playback of 2.35:1

    I have sent a project from Final Cut Pro to Color. In Color's resolution settings, I have selected the 2k 2.35 setting to achieve a wider image. Once I finish Coloring and rendering and I send the Color project back to Final Cut Pro, the aspect ratio is a perfect 2.35:1 wide image.
    HOWEVER, when I use the Digital Cinema Desktop preview playback function (basically full-screen playback), Final Cut plays my footage back at 2.35:1, but stretched to fit 16:9. This is what it looks like in full-screen: http://gallery.me.com/amirij#100115/Screen-20shot-202009-09-04-20at-203-58-52-20 PM&bgcolor=black
    Why is it doing this and how can I fix it? I assume it's a setting, but can't find it...
    Thanks in advance:

    1) Color correction, especially when done with separate application from the NLE, should be done AFTER picture lock. There are some measures if there are tweaks after, but they aren't 100%. Always wait to color correct until after you have picture lock. But you can render out of Color, media with handles, so you can do minor tweaks. And if you add new shots, make those into separate projects, send them to Color, grade, and send back.
    2) You need to either read the manual, or look for a tutorial on Color. It goes through all the steps. Send to Color...grade in Color...render...then SEND TO FCP. That'll send a new sequence to FCP.  Not a rendered out QT file...the full sequence.

  • HT4640 I have been developing a keynote presentation & want to play audio across several slides. Also want to insert movies made in final cut X but am finding I have to go to black and double click movie files before they appear. looks awful to do that.

    I am new to Keynote and the newest version was just installed in my apps.  I have found difficulty in using audio in a presentation since my presentation plays various audio clips over several slides or movie clips.  My solution has been to create movies with my audio (.mov from final cut x) and insert into the presentation.  They play in the presentation but I cannot get a smooth transition. The presntation must go to black and I have to double click for every "slide" that is done this way.  I am on the verge of going back to powerpoint as my presentation platform. Seems there is little or no flixibility in keynote.

  • Want my external monitor to view Final Cut Canvas

    Just bought an external monitor specifically for clients to view Final Cut on a large screen.
    Is there a way (button?) to use as opposed to dragging and enlarging my canvas over to the new monitor every time?
    thx.

    There may be a way to set your second monitor (you've got it hooked up thru the back of the computer as a second monitor, not just a mirror, yes?
    Go to VIEW - VIDEO PLAYBACK... see if there isn't an option for digital playback-MAIN and or another option. MAIN will just put it on your main screen. If there is another option... try that. Then, VIEW - EXTERNAL VIDEO -- ALL FRAMES.
    Short of that...
    Hold down the OPTION button and click on WINDOW... then set user option 1. Resize your windows across so your canvas is now in the other monitor and make it full size. Resize the other windows as you feel necessary.
    You can switch back and forth from those by hitting SHIFT-U and CONTROL-U.
    Coupla options anyway.
    Good luck,
