  Hindi font won’t transfer to FCP

  Posted by Cinnamon Kennedy on September 5, 2010 at 3:24 pm

  Hi!

  I have an animation sequence in Motion that I have embedded in a fcp project. I duplicated the fcp project 9 times in order to translate everything (including the text-based Motion sequence) into 9 languages. For the animation changes, I make the language change in Motion, and then it magically imports into fcp. Great for all the western languages and Chinese as well.

  But not Hindi: it looks perfect in Motion (Devangari MT or Arial Unicode), but when I import it to fcp it drops letters and adds weird boxes at the beginning of lines. And in Arial Unicode, it drops letters from both Hindi AND English!

  I can probably export as QT from Motion and then re-import to fcp, but I just love that magic-interfacing between fcp and motion – makes putting in changes much, much easier.

  Any thoughts would be most appreciated.

  I’d just render it out of Motion- zero gained in terms of workflow if you can’t read your titles…
