  Border Problem in FCP

  Posted by Ross Geddes on January 17, 2010 at 5:34 am

  Hi Guys

  I am putting together a wedding and want to break up each section with a 16:9 photo from the wedding and a title placed in the bottom left.”ceremony,speeches,” etc etc.

  I get the photo and import. I shrink it a little and then add a border. All good. However when i add a livetype text movie over the top, it cuts 1/4 of the border off from the right side. I have tried everything i can think of but nothing seems to fix the problem. It seems I can’t have a full border with text in FCP??

  Can anyone offer any suggestions?

  Thanks

  Ross

  Try exporting the shrunk & bordered pic, then import that and place it on v1. Then put the LiveType on v2. You could also try making a freeze frame of the shrunk & bordered pic and do the same thing.

  Have a bash with my Simple Crop plugin, its meant to make sticking a border on a cropped clip easier but should work for adding a border with or without cropping. It may or may not evidence the same issues as you’re already seeing but its possibly worth a try (its free).
