Live type title formats

Hi there,
been on the Live type board the last couple days and figured I would try here.
I have created a series of titles, and they show up all pix-elated when I dump them into a FCP sequence. Is there a setting I need to be aware of when creating titles i.e. HD vs DV??

It looks like I will have to recreate these titles because doing that only makes the slide smaller.
thanks Tom, I appreciate it

  • Live type - artifacts some times

    I have a half dozen live type titles all developed from the same basic set of elements- only differeing in the language on the titlesThe first set i place weeks ago they are all fine, this week i simply copied them and pasted them in another area of the video i am working on and 2 out of 6 of them when rendered showed interlacing lines.
    I deleted them and readded them directly - still interlace lines - anyone have any ideas about this?

    When I upgraded to LiveType 2, I thought I could skip installing the LT media discs, after all the files are already installed, right. Afraid not -all my LT media was deleted. I dragged a few folders from my backup across, to find that they did not work in LT 2.
    My conclusion:
    The .afp files are only compatible with version 1.x of LiveType.
    Version 2 must use the .ltlf files.
    As to why some of your afp files work yet others don't, I'm am not sure.
    Are you familiar with FontMaker (in LiveType's "File" menu)? Maybe that could be used to convert the afp files.

  • Live Type Textures and Background

    Does anyone know why when I import my live type titles, the background or textures do not transfer over into Final Cut Express? The fonts and the effects work, but the background does not transfer?
    Thanks for your help!

    As Da Nam has pointed out you just need to check a little box next to "Render Background"
    If you are Rendering a Movie then when doing so a little dialogue plate comes up and you can check the box next to "Render Background"
    If you are using the Live Type project directly then the box is in your Project Properties. In this case while you are in Live Type hit cmd-zero, and when the Project Properties plate comes up check the box next to Render Background.

  • Importing live type to imovie

    I am a newcommer to video editing and have gradually learnt how to use imovie. I have FCEHD but don't know how to use it yet. I was impressed with live type and made a short title sequence however when I render the sequence and import it into imovie the titles appear pixilated and low quality. I have tried importing it as a .mov and .dv and played around with project properties in live type. Can anyone help me

    I have exported the movie both to iDVD and a DV video camera which I have played onto a tv but the titles still look pixilated when imported but perfectly crisp if I play the .mov file from livetype. Am I using the wrong project settings?? I have tried different ones but no good. I really want to use the live type titles but they don't look good in my movie. HELP!

  • Live Type Sequence settings

    I have been able to import a Live Type title into FCP Studio 2 timeline. For it to play smoothly, FCP instructs me to change my settings but I don't want those settings for the rest of the project. How do I make the Live Type title work smoothly but keep my present settings?
    Thanks.

    I hope I have understand your issue here.
    What are the timeline settings vs the LiveType settings? I mean if FCP (i've only used FCE, not FCP) sequence timeline first clip is NTSC and the LT2 clip is PAL, then FCP would prefer that the LT2 clip be NTSC so it is politely advising so.
    See post (I hope I have undertsood your question) for how to change the Project Information in LiveType.

  • Live type trouble

    could anybody tell me what im doing wrong here? when i try to take a live Type title and superimpose it over a clip in final cut it gives the title a black background . When i created the title i didn't give it a background, i just left it as the "checkerboard". is there something i should or should not be doing for this to work?

    are you bringing the livetype file straight into FCP or did you export a quicktime and then bring that into FCP

  • Sub-titles..??? possible with Live Type..???

    hi
    just to know how (if possible) to make sub-titles in a FCE projet using Live Type.
    If you get any help for this...!!!!
    Thanks
    Kriss / F Guiana

    I post these links to questions about subtitles and captioning.
    The two processes are related. "Free"? Probably not.
    I have never used FCE.

  • Help with live type in fce

    hi, I created a title and intro in live type for fce. In live type the quality is excellent. when opened & viewed in fce in the viewer the quality is also excellent. but when the text is then placed on the timeline the quality of the text is seriously degraded. It is very jagged, rough and pixelated. I am stumped and have been fighting this for days. any help would be great. I am new to the program. The project properties for my live type document are:
    apple intermediate codec 1080i60
    width-1920px 26.67inches at 72.0 dpi
    height-1080px 11.25 inches at 96.0 dpi
    frame rate-29.97 fps
    field dominance - none
    pixel aspect - 1.00
    start time-0:00:00;00
    time format - smpte drop
    quality - all 3 are set to normal
    The project properties for FCE are:
    apple intermediate codec 1080i60
    frame rate-29.97fps
    frame size - 1920x1080
    pixel aspect - square
    field dominance - none
    alpha - none
    composite - normal
    I have tried every other combo with the live type set up and nothing works. Does any one have a fix for this? thanks

    In LiveType / Edit / Project Properties (command+0) / Presets HDV 1080i60...
    In Final Cut Express / Easy Setup (control-Q) HDV-Apple Intermediate Codec 1080i60...
    Import the LiveType project file directly into Final Cut Express...

  • Live Type iMovie 08 = Upside Down Text

    Weird proble. Brand new MacBook, iMovie 08, Live Type, making short little movie and all is well in iMovie as far as viewing. Title created in Live Type is fine, once movie is exported (tried several formats), the Live Type text is flipped, and small in the upper left corner. I can't figure it out. Any ideas?

    Hmmm.. I removed the plist and for the time being it seems to have worked. Is this a common problem with 10.5.x and iMovie? I have used iMovie for year and never had a problem. What's especially odd is it was occurring in both iLife 08 and iLife HD.
    Since this is a new MacBook I have yet polluted my system with my own installs, but one of the installs I have done is the Perian codec. I am wondering if that has anything to do with the issue.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Media Missing in Live Type File Error Message

    So I just upgraded to FCE 3.5 and have been playing around with LIve Type.
    Yesterday I succeeded in making some titles with textured backgrounds etc. and getting them into FC. Today, I can still make the titles in Live Type, but when I import them into FC I get this message, in front of a purplish background, on the icon in the FC browser and when I drag the thumbnail into the viewer.
    Media Missing in LIve Type File.
    I have gone into project properties in Live Type and checked the "render background" box. I have also moved my media sequences above the background divider in the time line.
    Nothing shows up in FCE, not even my text. But if I do a title with only text it shows up. If I include a texture and some effects, it does not show up. I just tried it with effects only and they show up. So it appears that it is a texture media problem. As soon as I open the text/effect title and add a texture, it comes up with this error in FCE.
    My files for live type are on an external hard drive. it mounts fine. I can see all my titles fine in Live Type. They render fine. But don't show up in FCE.
    I am working on a MacBook.
    Any help?

    When I Render it it shows up, but only for a few seconds then it goes black for a few more seconds. This happens when I have my in and out points set in LT and check, render only between in and out points, it also happens when this box is not checked. So I don't get the full time of my title effect.
    My problem is that I didn't have to render before, why do I have to go to the trouble to render now?
    I don't have to render on my iMac, it just works there. No rendering or exporting required. ?

  • Live Type wont open

    After successfully installing the two
    Live Type DVD's (shipped w/ FCP )
    it doesnt save to my applications directory.
    If I do a file search its shows me other
    Live Type related files within that folder,
    but not the application itself.
    I did partion my drive for O.S & perhaps this
    has something to do w/ it since L.T takes
    upto 9 gigs of data space.
    I only have about 5 gigs remaining w/ my partioned O.S disc.
    Thinking about re-formatting
    Any suggestions? Thanks

    Sounds like you only installed the two LiveType Data DVDs and didn't install the application. The actual LiveType application is on the Final Cut Pro or Final Cut Studio DVD. Run the FCP installer again and be sure you select LiveType as the application to install in addition to FCP.

  • 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:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zt99U9JnQcQ
    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 ?
