Live Type Update

I don't know if this would be the best place to ask, but I have a FCE project with a lot of LiveType clips.
Can I update a LiveType clip without changing it on the timeline? For instance, I have to change the names on a few LiveType clips and I have a lot of FCE motion on the LiveType clips and would like to be able to change from time to time.
Thanks.

In the timeline do you have a exported LiveType movie, or a project file? If it's a project file, if you change the project it will update in FCE. (Be sure to use the Open in Editor function in the timeline.) If it's a movie, it won't update.

Live Type Update has never occured

2 very savi mac users in my office told me that I just needed to go to the Apple and select Software Updates.
Since Live Type 1.2 was brand new I've never had a software update for this program. Has there been one released?
The same applies to Motion.
Thanks for any "schooling"
10.3.9 OS
Live Type 1.2
FCP 4.5

LiveType version 1.2 is the version that's included with FCP 4.5. That's as high as you'll go unless you upgrade to a newer version of Final Cut.

Updated or 3rd party Live Type Tempates

I am looking to see if there is a website to download additional or 3rd party templates, effects, etc. for Live Type? Free is always nice, but even sites that cost are welcome. Thanks!

Imac won't let me install Final cut studio 2..it will let me install the upgrade, but it has no live type and i need it to work on my current projects. How do I get Live type back installed in iMac

I just purchased an iMac for home and went to install final cut studio 2 and it gave me an error saying something about "PowerPC" not used or something like that. Installed the studio upgrade just fine...but it has no "Live Type" which I need to work on projects I have been using in my Mac Pro at my work place. How do I get "Live Type" to install in this iMac? Downloaded Live Type upgrade but that won't update cause there's no "Live Type" in the applications.

It sounds like you have Lion installed on your new imac, although your profile says SL 10.6.8 (you may want to change this.)
If you have the Snow Leopard install disc I believe you can install "Rosetta" from the extras folder which will then, if you have the original FCS2 discs , allow you to select and install Live Type and LIve Type content only from the custom install options.
I hope this will work for you.

Hello Vineet,
I did a complete uninstall (including the CS5 Clean Tool) and reinstalled MC CS5. I ran the updater and everything seems to have updated properly. Thanks for your help. I was holding off on the reinstall because of the time involved with reconfiguring the apps, reinstalling plugins, etc.
Looking at the installer log, there appears to be some permissions related entries that were not present in logs of the failed installs. Here is the relevant section of the log.

I did run a permissions repair using the Disk Utility before downloading and installing the updates. I don't know if that helps, but I thought I'd include it.

Issues Printing Live Type to Canon iPF8000s

I can not print any live type to our Canon iPF8000s.I am currently using Mountain Lion (10.8.5), InDesign CS 5.5, and Acrobat XI to make pdfs and I can not get any pdfs to print w/o first flattening them. I can't even get the page info to print unless it's outlined. I'm not sure if its bc there is no RIP or if I am having a problem similar to what I have read about on these forums that dates back to 2011 for which Apple issued a fix called SnowLeopard Font Update. But, I can not find any recent posts re: a similar problem happening these days so I was wondering if I could get some input. Shouldn't I at least be able to print the page info w/o RIP software? As far as I can tell, we have the latest driver for this printer. Any light that could be shed on this would be great. Thank you.

If you are using the UFR2 driver, then when using this Market Leader application select to print and from the print dialog, change to the Quality menu. Then select Quality Settings and then change the Graphics Mode settings from UFRII Mode to Raster Mode. OK the change and then see if this prints correctly.

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.

How do I change the font color in Live Type?

How can I change the font color in Live Type?

By trial and error, I also learned that the slide icon just to the right of the color box must be moved to the right in order for the new color to be visible. Of course, the amount to which the slide is moved determines the intensity of and color. Thanks for putting me on the right track (no pun intended).

Live Type graphics interfering with audio on playback to output monitor

New to Mac, so bare with me.
When I drop live type graphics in timeline and play with the built in audio, plays fine. When I output it to mini dv to record via firewire, and hit play the audio is fine till the timeline marker goes past the end of the graphic, then the audio drops out for a few seconds, then its o.k. again. This happens on every graphic, no exceptions. Now the audio is coming through the NTSC speakers.
Funny thing though, we I play back the recorded tape, the audio plays fine.
The audio also plays fine on the built in speakers. Onlu when outputted to firewire to the mini dv.
This is very annoying.
Can someone help please?
Using a LaCie 500 gig firewire drive, via the 800 firewire port.
Thanks

Not to be ignorant ha ha.
How do I mix down the audio? Do you think that if I hit play on the timeline and then hit record on dv, that might work?
Will give that a shot though!
Thanks,Jerry

Live type wont open error ?

I have a problem....
I had to reinstall my OS "overtop" the old OS 10.4.6
when I tried to open FCP or Live type I got an error message
"This program requires Quicktime 7.0.4 or higher"
so I installed quicktime 7.1.3 and FCP opens & works
~HOWEVER~
when I try to open LIVE TYPE now I get the message
*Class Error for ProSystemStore class not loaded)
did I get the wrong Quicktime file?
What can I do?
Help
Stephanie

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.

PDF File Size - Live Type with Flattened Images

I am looking for a way to Export my PDF to include live type but flatten all other imagery (like saving as a JPG).
I work on fairly large catalogs - intended for print - that later need to be saved for web. The imagery is just too complex for the PDF to constantly be rendering every image element on every page of my catalog. These catalogs need to include that searchable text data & live links built within InDesign.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I am currently on CS5.5, but hoping to upgrade soon. Thank you!

See this post: https://forums.adobe.com/thread/998458 If you want to make the file even smaller, adjust the compression settings to a lower resolution.

Live View Updates Extremely Slow in DW 5.5

I'm having a problem with the Live view update. I'm using the localhost as my testing server. So, network speed shouldn't be an issue. I'm on a Windows 64 bit, 2.2 gHz, Quad Core, 8 GB ram..so it should run relatively well. But, I sometimes have to wait 2 minutes for the screen to update when I change something, turn off LiveView, then turn it back on. You can imagine how this slows down development. Every change takes 2 minutes to see? Yikes! It makes the product almost unusable.
Is there any fix for this?

Last night, I got the solution to this from Adobe tech support -- at least for me. The technician suggested that I update my video card driver.
And also make sure that I had the latest version of Flash player. Apparently, CS5.5 has adopted a new way of previewing files that relys heavily on the video cache and the player, and old drivers are usually the problem.
I did this, and things work much better. Still a bit doggy at times, but I can work with it.
He also suggested that I upgrade to Windows 7. (I'm still using Vista) ANd that I would see a "100% improvement". I like the sound of that. Haven't tried it yet....If anybody does, let me know how it goes.

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 Background Issue

good afternoon,
I am using Live type to create text and I want to place it and some images over a background.
I have created a file in Live type, selected a background, added a company logo and have been able to view my project with Live type as I want it.
But when I save it and drop it into my bin for Final cut pro, the background does not show up.
Any thoughts on what settings in FCP I need to change, or are there certain export settings in Livetype I need to be more aware of.
thanks
MIke

FYI there are 2 methods of rendering the background in LiveType.
1) Click the Render Background Box in the LT Project Properties
2) When Rendering a QT movie click the Render Background Box
Method 1 is preferable and if you follow that process then even if you're rendering out a movie...the Render Background Box will already be checked for you.

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. ?
