Live Type "effects" not present

I've periodically loaded and unloaded the (2) Live type Media discs when my laptop has been low on space. Never had the problem about to describe before.
I have my hard drive partioned into two drives: The hard drive and a Videostore (where I keep my Final Cut Pro media). I also usually load the Live Type Media on that drive.
This time, all the Livefonts, Fonts, Textures and Objects media shows up when I open LIVETYPE...but the "effects" do not.
I've re-installed the discs several times.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

I copied the appropriate files off of another computer that had the effects on them, and they correctly came up on the computer i was attempting to load them on.

Live Type Template not displaying correctly in FCE

I'm trying to use the "Ink Title" template from the Live Type Template Browser: File > Open Template > Template Browser.
But when I import the .ipr file into FCE 3.5.1 it comes across with a transparent background and is not showing the artwork. I set up each of the other "Ink" templates and imported them into FCE and they run fine -- with the Ink design.
Can you tell me what I might be doing that is keeping the "Ink Title" template from displaying correctly?
Thanks.

You have to go to the sequence settings in Live Type and check Render Background. Press Apple + 0 and you will see the Render Background Check box. I bet it is not checked. Hope this works. Tell me if it doesn't.

Live type does not appear in hard drive

I'm in the middle of reinstalling Live Type on my computer. I deleted it earlier today, trashing everything that had "Live Type" in its name, and have tried reinstalling the software from the original discs.
I have two discs ("Live Type Data" 1 of 2 and "Live Type Data" 2 of 2) that I've tried to reinstall. I get the dialog boxes indicating that the discs are installing on the computer's hard drive, then after about 50 minutes, I get a message that "Installation was successful!" with a green check mark. After both discs were installed successfully, I restarted the computer (although there was no instruction to do that), but the software's icon didn't appear in my Applications folder. When I use "Find" to look for anything with "Live Type," all I get are files of previous titles that I'd created.
Is the application software on another disc and I'm only loading the "media" for the software's use?
A while ago, I installed only the first disc, but I still had the software's icon appear in my Applications folder.
Is the Live Type application software stored on my FCE 1 (or FCE 3) installation disc.
Any suggestions are appreciated.

Final Cut Studio 3 no longer includes LiveType. Its functionality has been incorporated into Motion.
I just got Final Cut Studio HD and was surprised it didn't have LiveType, which I love. I learned Final Cut at a college and they had LiveType. Still doing the install as we speak, but just wondering: Is it JUST AS EASY and fun in Motion as LiveType or is it way more involved? Is there any way to get LiveType?

Live type text not appearing in FCE

I've got a 3 track video (green screen). The top track being a LT project. I cannot get the text to show up at all, not in the preview window or editor window. I made the title within the boundaries and made the project apple codec 1080 60i just like my project in FCE. It's white text no background, and it's the very top track. Even when i export as a movie the movie doesn't play any text. If i export as a preview however it does show up.
Anyone have a clue what this could be?
I've got 3 month old macbook pro, 4 gig ram. And the lates version of FCE.
I'm using a live font with an anitgravity effect. I save it as a project file and import in into FCE, then drop it on the top track and render. (FYI stuff)

Hi(Bonjour)!
Try to import the livetype project file itself into FCE. It will render and should play fine from FCE timeline.

Live Type not in FCP 7 & I need it badly

I sold my old system that I had and was using FCP 6 with Live Type. On my new system I got the FCP 7 and Live Type is not on there. I am screwed because all of my graphics and templates that I put togther are in Live Type and I need the program to run them. I have never used Motion and it seems to be a huge pain to try to learn and I don't have time to learn it to keep my editing going. Is there a way to get Live Type back on my system with out having the old FCP 6 pack. I do not have that anymore. I need help fast!!!

That is where the problem is. I let all the FCP 6 discs go with the system since I was getting the full suite & package on the new computer. Now I do not have them the load Live Type onto the system.

Live Type not loaded when I loded Final Cut Studio

I just upgraded to a Mac Pro from an i Mac. I loaded Final Cut Studio and Live Type was not loaded I do not see it in my applications folder. Do I have to reload the whole Final Cut app. or can I load Live Type only. If so from which disc would I have to load Live Type ?

You can install it from and older version of FCP. Run the installer and it will tell you which discs to load.

I miss Live Type

Am I missing something else? When my work bought me a new MacPro, my old Power PC went to one of the other editors, software included. I got the new Final Cut Studio, and I'm sure everyone knows Live Type's not there. What am I supposed to do with all of my old templates? Can I just buy FC Express and use that? Sometimes, often actually, I just need those cheesy effects without going through a whole motion process.

It's a sharing violation, since the old machine is still using it. I'm thinking of just buying FCE. The other guys in the office think that everything it did can be done between FCP and Motion now, but I haven't been able to make that happen, other than through some laborious process. I'm a little encouraged by the "sequence text" function, but there's an autodidactic learning curve.

Final cut crashes when Live Type credit is added

Hi
I have FCP HD 4.5 A while back it kept crashing on me whilst opening, so I stopped using it. Tried it again over the weekend and it loaded, success! Cut a project together without any issues, but now when I try to add Live Type credits (not my forte) FCP crashes. Have tried dragging credit from the desktop and the regular import file option, but each time it crashes instantly. In the case of dragging the credit icon into FCP, it crashes the moment the icon touches the timeline. I'm relatively new to FCP but I'm fairly sure I haven't done anything different to my other projects.
Any help with this matter would be greatly received
Oz

Hi Adrenaline Crew
Thanks for the tip. Basically I wasn't rendering the credit first, just saving it to my desktop and dropping it into the film. I guess that was coursing the problem (sure I had started doing that before and all was well) Once rendered, and saved, like you said as diff, credit dropped into the project just fine.
Thanks again for your time. Now I suppose I have to get on with my work
Cheers friend

Is Live Type Apples version of Adobe After Effects?

Hello i was curious to know if live type is apples version of adobe after effects? now i know they are not the same but i started learning adobe after effects and it seems very similar...I don't want to try and learn another program if i can do the same thing with live type... I was looking into video editing as a career and have been teaching myself a bunch of things but i see that in the video production field that Adobe after effects is used alot and ppl want you to be familiar with it.. So i'm basically asking with the knowledge can the same thing be accomplished in live type as in after effects ?
Thank you

Hi jbonante
Despite its name, LiveType does more than just manipulate text and create title cards.
If you do a search of YouTube, you will many interesting examples of how LT has been used, for example one I did:

Do you really need After Effects, Motion etc for what you are trying to create?

Live type files look grainy and do not fill the background when used for green screen backgrounds.

live type files look grainy and do not fill the background when used for green screen backgrounds. Ideas?

What I want to do is somehow make my entire iMovie project smaller by compressing it somehow but without losing any footage or audio or quality. At the moment the project is a 56GB iMovie project lasting approx 1hr. I have a mixture of miniDV footage, titles created in Live Type (they are better quality than anything available in iMovie) and audio.
The miniDV footage is automatically compressed when it transfers from my camcorder to my Mac, no worries there.
The LiveType titles contain a motion background (imported into LT) and then text which appears and disappears at set points. The titles vary in length but are about 5 seconds each.
The file size for the LT titles is approx 180MB per clip, the movie requires about 20 or so of these clips, making a very large file size overall.
Is there a way that I can save something in LT so that the file size is smaller yet still keep the quality and use the clip in my iMovie ?

FCE not seeing new Live Type files correctly... (Leopard issue?)

There appears to be a problem in LiveType and FCE as of Leopard.
LiveType files created BEFORE Leopard was installed import fine, but files created AFTER Leopard was installed will not import and return an error:
File Error. 1 File Recognized. 0 Access Denied. 1 file unknown.
Live Type files that are rendered as movies are importable and that is the workaround. But of course they cannot be edited again unless the Live Type file is reopened and re-rendered.
IOW, no import of a Live Type file directly into FCE.
Pro apps download doesn't appear to apply to FCE and you need a FCP serial # to access it anyway.
All suggestions appreciated.

Never mind. I figured it out.

Recently up graded my quick time to 7.6
Weary of trashing my FCP Preference systems since they mess up projects I am working with at the moment.
Recently added 3ivx components in my qicktime library. (don't know if this does anything)
Thanks for taking an interest in my problem.
Hope you can help.

Live Type Not Opening

I have FCE 4 and Live Type came with the program. Every time I try to open Live Type I get an error message. I have tried to reinstall it 3x and no luck. Each time my computer says the installation was successful. Below is the error message:
An unexpected error occurred.
(* -[NSProTabViewItem _displayedLabelForRect:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x8fc58d0)
What do I do?

I had to get my hard drive erased and install from scratch....it was a pain. After 45 minutes on the phone with apple support they were the ones to suggest either that or a new computer. I chose the former. Good luck

Apply Style or Favorites options in Live Type?

Hello, just trying to figure out live type, and I have a question.
I am using it to create info graphics on a dvd presentation, and I am wondering:
Do I have to manually format each different line of text, or is there a way that I can save a set of formatting parameters (font, size, drop shadow settings, color) and apply a style to given text, or do I have to format each line every time. I looked in the manual, and searched this forum and didn't find anything helpful.
I can't believe there isn't a way to do it, but I can't find it. Maybe saving it as a LiveType (even though there is no motion or effects)?
Let me know what you think.
Thanks,
Ken

You've got a couple choices here.
You can always copy a text track...paste it on a new track and then change your text.
If you have a more involved and layered graphics you could also create a template.
To save your project as a template:
1 Place the project file (.ipr) in a folder in this location: /Library/Application Support/
LiveType/Templates.
2 Generate a short QuickTime movie of the project (with the same name but an
appropriate movie extension, such as .mov or .mp4).
Once you do this, the template will appear in the preview window of the
Template Browser.
