Animated titles
I have a title sequence where the background is slomo flames. I’d like to have the title fading in and out but whilst on screen, I’d like the 2 words to dance like the flames are (there are dissolves which do a similar thing.) Can anyone tell me if I can do this in FCP 5.1.4 titles? Appreciate any advice. Thanks.

Try using a composite mode on the text and see if this has the effect you want.
All the best,

Motion has some behaviors to save you time. To see an example of kinda fading in and out like a flame open up Motion and click on the Library tab. Go to Content, Gadgets, Vacuum Tube. Drag it onto the canvas and hit the space bar and watch how the light flicker. It has a Randomize behavior that is controlling that. You can take a look at how behaviors can effect objects and save you a lot of time. Hope this is what you where looking for. Best of luck.

You can also keyframe the letters right within Final Cut to jump and twitch but this would be tedious to set up compared to just doing it in liveType or Motion and importing that into final cut.

Thanks guys. I’ve been trying to do it on LiveType which is slow but interesting! Is Motion a separate app to LiveType?

Yes Motion is a separate app form LiveType. However, a lot of the features found in LiveType are also in Motion. Motion can do a lot more then LiveType can and LiveType is no longer included with the newest version of Final Cut so I recommend learning Motion. Hope this helps.
