Boris Red and FCP 4.5 HD
What version of Boris Red do I need for this version of FCP. Also, I see that I can do static titles, but moving titles seem to be a problem. Anyone using Boris Red with FCP? It just does not seem to work as well as it did with Media 100 in my experience.

Its not that bad, just a few things you need to know.
you should have a static and a regular boris option in the generator for moving compositions. also, you have to have the scrubber on a red transition or sequence for it to open. sounds strange but true. -
Boris Red 3.02 will work with FCP HD. I use it all the time with both static and moving titles. Red makes up for some of the lacking items in FCP like layered graphics, rolling titles and 3D text. The title roll in Red can be adjusted for speed and length unlike the roll in Title crawl. You can have layered graphics in Red but you can’t do that in Title 3D. (That may have changed in FCP 5.) You can make 3D text or bring in eps files to make 3D objects in Red which you cannot do anywhere in FCP. Red works very well with FCP HD. When you install it make sure you select to make it available as a plugin for FCP

I can get the static titles to work but cannot figure out how to the moving titles to work.
