Live Type

Please Help me how to resolve these problem, When i open live type program i do not see any live fonts preview under the live font tab.

These media files are installed in the /Library/Application Support/LiveType folder... look there to see if they are still present. (if not reinstall them from the install disk). Then try reassigning the location of the media files from within LiveType using the Preferences dialog. Choose LiveType > Preferences. this will rewrite that preference file and might just bring them back online.
There's more info on all of this in livetype's help on page 29.

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.

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.

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 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. ?

How to use live type in motion 4

how to use live type in motion 4

There is a LiveType (or LiveFonts) content section in the Library in Motion 4 (but NOT Motion 5 - LiveType is obsolete, much to my chagrin...) - but you can still import LiveType projects into Motion 4 just as you could in Motion 3 - a simple drag'n'drop from the finder will do; or use Import from the file menu.

Exporting from Live type as uncompressed

Does anyone know if it is possible to export from live type with no compression or in different codecs? I have this option in FCP and AE and my graphics and type look great when export using "none" compression or 10 bit uncompressed.

The default render from LT uses Animation codec which is completely lossless.

Live Type Render Quality

If I create just the text and export .ipr file into FCP I noticed that the letters outline look pixilated, jagged against the still background. If I import that background into Live Type and export into FCP including the background it looks perfect. Very interesting discovery.
Is this normal?

In addition to what Big Daddy Sheffield said, could your issue be related to the fact that LiveType (as well as Motion) produce premultiplied with black alpha channels? That is, upon importing the .ipr file, you're altering the Alpha type - either in the Browser or in the Item Properties dialog - to Black, right?
By default, FCP interprets alpha as Straight and, in the case of premultiplied by black alpha channels, this produces a black fringe around your elements (which can come across as pixelated outlines). If you're the type to use black outlines on your type, this might not matter, but I figure it's worth a mention.
Or is your issue indeed beyond that?

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.
