TITLE 3D in Final Cut 6

Does anyone know how to reconnect Boris Title 3D in Final Cut 6? I haven't found any of the current topics applicable.
Thanks!

Hi all,
I found a work-around.
Go to *_http://www.borisfx.com/products/calligraphy/_* and download the plug-in.
Install it. Restart FCP 6. You will now be able to open your project without the error message. However, when you go to modify the exisiting Title 3D elements you WILL get an initial error message. I'm at a different edit suite location and don't have access to my machine. But you "OK" it or continue and you will have the Title 3D controls. There is some difference between this older version 1.1 versus the current 2.1 that we are know and love. But the end result is that you can salvage your older projects. I was back online in minutes with the older projects.

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

Boris Calligraphy, Title 3D, and Final Cut Express HD 3.5

Help!!
So I'm working through Tom Wolsky's book (Final Cut Express HD 3.5 editing workshop) and I just got to lesson 12 to work with Title 3D. Well when I go to start the lesson, I try to call up the Title 3D from the generator menu in the viewer. The pop-up displays all the different selections except for Boris/Title 3D. I can't find it anywhere on the program. I've searched in my preferences folder on my HD and I noticed that the BorisFX plugins where installed and that Title 3D (in the Final Cut Express preferences folder) was also there. I've tried discarding the plugins and reinstalling them and that doesn't even seem to work. Does anyone have any idea why my FCE will not let me access Title 3D? Anyone else come across this problem? Tom, what do you think?

I tried reinstalling - no joy.
After some digging around on Google I found this forum post:

Looks like the QuickTime 7.4 update broke a number of things including the Boris plug-ins. Basically they have lost their bundle flags so are not being recognised by Final Cut Express (or Pro). If you look at one of the replies to the above post there's a link to a file you can download which contains plug-ins with the bundle flag set - here's a direct link to the file:
http://www.borisfx.com/download_files/CalligraphyForFCP.dmg
Just copy the Title 3D.bundle and Title Crawl.bundle files to the following folder, overwriting the existing ones:
/Library/Application Support/Final Cut Express Support/Plugins
This fixed the problem for me.

Gradient Center Title Bar in Final Cut Pro X - make vertically wider?

I am using the gradient center title bar. Can I make it vertically wider? I see a control to make it wider, but that only works horizontally..

This Title was designed in Motion. The vertical size of the bar is not published as a control to be available in FCPX. You would have to open a copy of the Title in Motion (If you have it) and modify it there.

Can you adjust preset title effects on Final Cut Pro X

Im trying to play with the anchor points on a preset title effect called DRAMATICA. The lettes LEAVE too quickly and don´t allow enough time to be read.
Can that be done? Is it possible to adjust the titles setting? Can the anchor point be adjusted for duration?
Thanks!

If you mean changing the relative duration of the various phases of the title, you'd have to open a copy in Motion; but be warned that, at least for an inexperienced user of Motion like myself, it seems to be a quite sophisticated title. There are complex behaviors involved, so it is not like some where you'd just publish another parameter and be done with it.

TITLE 3D BORIS - Final Cut Express 3.5

Hi!
I have a problem, I started a new project, I worked it..... and now I'm looking for the Title 3D in the pop up menu in the viewer and it's desappeared!
Fortunately I could copy one title from an old project into this one and change it......
Is there anyone can help me to find it again? what's happened to my Boris Title 3D?
thanks
Linda

Hi Linda,
I was reading your post again and I saw:
Fortunately I could copy one title from an old project into this one and change it......
You mean that you could copy a Boris title from an old project and EDIT it, in the same FCE installation where you cannot find Title3D ?
That is weird... you shouldn't be able to edit a title created with Boris plugins, if the Boris plugins are not properly installed. Unless by "change it" you mean applying different filters or basic motion controls to a "burned" title.
I might be wrong, but from this thread it seems to me that your plugins are in fact installed. For some reason you cannot find the handle to create a new title...
Just a thought.

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?

Rendering in Final Cut Express

I've been trying to render title screens on Final Cut Express (overlaped over visuals), but I'm told that there is not enough disk space and that I have to free up more disk space. All my footage is on an external LaCie drive, and I have plenty of free space, so that shouldn't be an issue. Has anyone encountered this problem before?

What's the size of your system HD and how much free space do you have on it? Ditto for your Lacie drive.
Are you connecting your Lacie drive via FireWire or USB? (USB is insufficient for video work)
Check your FCE system preferences - what HD are you using for your Render files?

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...

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.

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.

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.
