  TYPING ONTO SCREEN EFFECT???

  Posted by Michael Brodner on September 25, 2007 at 2:37 pm

  Anyone know of an easy way to animate text typing across a screen? I shot an action/comedy movie and I want one of the establishing shots to have this text that types onto the frame in a “digital manner” with cool little beeping audio for it. Just curious. Thanks

  If you’re using FCP6 you might want to try the “Typewriter” filter you can find in the Video Generator–Text tab. If you’re not on version 6 you’ll have to search for a plugin.

  Version 6 was mentioned, but
  FCP’s built-in Text generator has had this feature since Version 4.
