How do you make text extrude?
Is there a way to make text extrude in Final Cut Pro 7? There’s an option to add a drop shadow, but not an extrude. I used to do this very easily in Livetype, but for some reason I can’t import Livetype files into FCP7 anymore. It says “File Error: Unknown file.” My OS is Sierra (10.12.6), but I’m guessing that version of Mac OS is too recent?
If anyone knows how to add an extrude to text or to make Livetype files work in FCP7, I’d greatly appreciate it!

BH: I can’t reproduce your difficulty (running both LiveType v.2.1.4 and FCP7 in Sierra 10.12.6).
If the rendering is done in LiveType it produces a .mov file in Apple Animation codec which has to import smoothly into the FCP7 sequence, whatever its codec.
But also an unrendered .ipr file coming out of LiveType is importable into the FCP7 sequence where it renders out fine.
I’d never seen or used LiveType before, and its effects are hilarious. Thanks.

I’m using LiveType version 2.1.4 as well, and can’t import .ipr files. I don’t understand it. I’ll try to reinstall LiveType and see if that helps at all.

It could as well be a corruption in your FCP7. Reinstalling FCP7 can be time consuming if you have plugins, etc. (I recommend the Digital Rebellion’s program Preference Manager for maintaining FCP7.)
Do try letting LiveType do the render, and then importing the .mov file to FCP7. In that way LiveType is compatible with many editing applications, perhaps even a corrupted FCP7.
