Is Final Cut Pro, Action/Title Safe Relavent Anymore?

Just wondering since old-school 4:3 tube TVs are disappearing faster than a snowball in he.... well you know what I mean. As far as I know, digital flat screens don't clip anything, right?
How concerned about bubble TVs are all of you with the HDTV revolution?

Well, I'm here in the States and up to now, only done SD. In fact, almost everyone asks for h.264 720x480, mostly from cable stations.
I have a new broadcast station that is asking for "Apple HDV 720p60 16x9.mov (must be 4x3 safe)"
I'm also wondering if I can use my existing SD spots in that 720p sequence, or do I have to start from scratch?

  • Final cut pro x - Title changes are not saved!

    Dear Sirs,
    I have a big project I am working on in Final cut pro x that contains about 300 subtitles (created with the basic title tool), and now when I make text changes to these titles, quit the program and open the project again those changes are gone....!!! This is a serious problem for me, any help concerning this would be greatly appriciated.
    Thank you,
    Oded

    You might not have a compatible video card. It needs to be "OpenCL" compatible. What mac are you using, and what video card? This info is available using the "About this Mac" menu item; click "More Info" to get to the video info.

  • Why won't final cut pro x import my media anymore?

    I recently encountered a bug with final cut pro x. Previously I have been importing AVCHD files and working with them directly in the application. But, today as I went to import some more of the same footage it acknowledges an import, but nothing shows up in my events folders.
    This is really bizarre. Not only this, but I tried importing a regular .MOV file directly by drag and drop, and via the import button, to no avail.

    I never knew that "/" were part of the Unix code. Thanks for that. As for importing AVCHD video through the application by Cmd-I, I have done that as well. It still doesn't work.
    Here is what I've done:
    And nothing shows up in the event folder.

  • Moving Final Cut Pro X title sequences to external drive

    So I am editing on my laptop from a USB drive. My video resources, projects, and everything else are all on an external USB drive for portability...or so I thought. I took the dirve to a second machine and everything comes up except the Title sequences that I created in Motion.
    How can I move the Title Sequences from my laptop HD to my USB drive, and still retain the connections to my existing projects?

    Motion templates are in the Movies folder in a folder called Motion Templates. This is user specific. You would have to move or copy this from the laptop user's Movies folder to the other machine user's Movies folder.

  • SUPER USEFUL TIP: Use clean titles as adjustment layers in Final Cut Pro X

    One thing I love in After Effects are adjustment layers and I just realized you can actually use titles as effects in Final Cut Pro X and they behave just like adjustment layers (actually you can go much further in Final Cut Pro X).
    So titles process everything below in Final Cut Pro X even with effects applied to it. So why not just build clean title in Motion 5, put that to top "track" and add effects to it. This way you don't have to hassle that much with compound clips.
    This technique works with all effects (also color board works on titles) so for example if you want to have certain look for some period of time simply add clean title to top track for that time and add effect to it. I think this technique has tons of potential for people who want to keep their timelines in order and don't want to create complex compound clip messes.
    If you don't have Motion 5 you can download Adjustment Layer here. Just extract contents to your Movies/Motion Templates/Titles folder and you'll find it in Final Cut Pro X Titles under Adjustment Layer.

    Great idea!

    Trash preferences and repair permissions in Disk Utility.
    If that doesn't free Share up I'd drag app to trash, reinstall it and run repair permissions again.
    Good luck.

  • HT201109 Final Cut Pro 10.1 crashes with Motion 5.1 custom Scrolling text and Graphics titles

    Dec 29, 2013 1:33 PM 
    found out why Final Cut 10.1 won't load my custom titles without crashing. When scrolling text in Motion 5.1 if you ad a graphic to scroll with the text Final Cut 10.1 will crash. If I remove the graphic in Motion and then load it into Final Cut 10.1 it will work.
    So Graphics and scrolling do not work. The graphics are .jpg, .png, .tiff, .psd. I don't know how to fix it. Hopefully someone out there does.

    Thanks Tom for the advice. I have four external hard disks, all of them formatted with Mac OS Extended Journaled. On all devices (2TB) I have more than half free space. They are connected either with Thunderbolt or USB3 cables. Different manufactures:  LaCie, Toshiba, WD and Samsung. I face the same crash problem if I connect a UBS drive 16GB or a any other device to the USB ports including the Sony Video camera connected with a USB1 cable. Same problem on ALL my computers! To work properly, I have to disconnect all USB devices and work only with internal hard disks. I also tried to format the MacbookPro (erasing the partitions with a new installation) but I have the same problem. I really lost hope...

  • 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?

  • All of my titles, themes and generators seem to be completely missing from Final cut pro x. Do you know how to get them back?

    All of my titles, themes and generators seem to be completely missing from Final cut pro x. Do you know how to get them back?

    Do you mean that when you click the title browser, for example, nothing is there?
    Do you at least see several categories listed in the effects browser?
    First make sure that you have nothing typed into the search box (not even spaces).
    If you still see nothing, try this in order:
    1) Window->Revert to Original Layout
    2) Quit FCP X, delete preferences using Preference Manager (a free download from Digital Rebellion)
    3) Download FCS Remover, and use it to completely remove FCP X. This will NOT delete your content, just the application.
    4) Reinstall FCP X from the Mac App Store: log in with the same Apple ID that you used to buy FCP X, click on "Purchases", locate FCP X and click Install.

  • Can't edit title text in Final Cut Pro X

    Okay I'm seriously about ready to pull my hair out. Every time I go to edit text, FCPX crashes. Now I have to close the inspector before editing text for it to not crash...and that works sometimes. But now I have a new problem. After exporting my movie, I noticed I needed to make some adjustments to titles... Tried double clicking the text in the viewer...it doesn't even let me edit it anymore! Really? Why would you even release this Apple? Final Cut Pro X is clearly not finished. What a joke.

    Hello,
    It seems I have nearly the same problem. The simple fact of selecting the title in the project or in the project library crashes FinalCut Pro.
    I thought it was caused by the accended frensh characters, like for an imported iMovie Project, but this is not the case. Even without accended characters, the crash is systematic.
    Thanks a lot for the idea of closing the inspector! Now I can work with titles (sometimes at all) without crashing
    The good news is: I can edit the title, even when re-opening the project later, if I:
    1. Select the title element with the inspector closed
    2. Open the inspector
    3. Modify some parameters like the colors of the titles.
    N.B.
    - The first time I did it, the inspector opened, empty, on the left side of the screen !?!
    - It works even in the precedent little project wich I encountered the bug
    - I can edit too in the viewer.
    My config:
    MacBook 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    Mémoire  4 Go 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
    Graphisme  NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256 MB
    Logiciel  Mac OS X Lion 10.7.1 (11B26)

  • Title Font Size in Final Cut Pro 6 for exhibition on movie theater sized screen

    When editing a documentary and creating title cards (that play as part of the movie - text center of screen on black b.g.), lower thirds identifying speakers, and end credits (both single card and scrolling) are there some standard fonts and font sizes people use so the end result will not look too large when projected on a movie screen?
    The titles are all from Final Cut Pro (a few from the Boris plug-in for FCP6) and there are no titles that move or that are created in Motion.
    I will be able to make additional edits with the fonts sized for tv, streaming, DVD distribution etc. if I'm lucky enough to end up needing those as well.
    Thanks!

    If the titling is properly composed for the frame size, it will look correct when projected. That is, if it looks font is legible and in decent proportion in your 1080 timeline, it's not important whether the display is 30 inches or 45 feet; the proportion will not change.
    In terms of font selection, medium or bold sans-serif fonts work well on all screens.  "Plain" fonts like Helvetica, Ariel, or Lucinda tend to work better than the more stylized fonts, but if style is part oif your message, be my guest...
    hope this helps

  • How do I change the speed of the Final Cut Pro X "Ticker" Title option?

    I am moving from iMovie to Final Cut Pro X.  I used to use the "ticker" title option all the time in iMovie, but when I utilize it in Final Cut Pro X, it scrawls really slow and only shows the first line of text before the video ends.  How do I adjust the speed of this option?

    This Motion template effect isn't very useful at the moment.
    Sadly, the only way of changing the speed is to modify the effect in Motion.
    The speed is designed to get the word 'Information' at the default size and default typeface across the screen over the duration of the clip. If you add more text, or change its size, the text will not move off the edge of the screen by the end of the duration of the generator.

  • Titles lose glow effect in Final Cut Pro X

    Im using Final Cut Pro X and when I create a title with the glow feature after a while of editing the feature turns off and you can't make the title glow anymore without creating a new one. Still after you make a new one soon the glow effects eventually turns off but it says it's on.
    The project im working on is an hour long. Also it's had one other glitch where in three clips one to two frames go blank. After I added titles to the clips the frames went back to normal and the others that i didnt want text I added blank titles to fix the frames. Any advise on what I should do?

    In the Timeline position your Playhead at the starting position.
    In the Viewport position the Shape Mask at the starting position.
    In the Inspector click the Add Keyframe button.
    Press Control-V to open the Animation Editor to see your keyframes.
    Move the Playhead and the Shape Mask to a new position.
    In the Inspector click the Add Keyframe button.
    Continue adding keyframes until you have defined the Shape Mask’s movement.
    Regards
    Nolan

  • Title to final cut pro

    how can i make my motion titles for my final cut pro project not jiggle? if i create titles in final cut pro, they also jiggle.
    thanks,
    dominic

    Depends on what's causing them to "jiggle". Often this is caused by using a font that is too thin or has elements that are too thin. Try not using serif fonts and make sure they are thicker than one pixel...
    Do you have an example you can post?
