    Hi,

    wondering if anyone knows of a plugin or effect that I could download for use in final cut pro2 that would give the effect of text being written across the screen…I think client wants it to look kind of like the “Oprah” font … going across the screen with typewriter effect

    any info would be greatly appreciated.

    Regards,

    Take a look at LIVETYPE that came with Final Cut Studio. It does this.

    ALso, the Title 3D plug in that comes with FCP and originates from Boris has a ‘type on’ parameter. ANd I think there’s a FCP text generator called typewriter or some such, but stick with Title3D. Much cleaner.

    thanks …i’m aware of the typewriter stuff within final cut pro…i should have been more clear… that I’m looking for something that makes the text appear as if it’s being handwritten (maybe even cursive) on the screen…

    anyone?

    thanks
