Do you have Boris Continuum Complete?

No, i was talking about the free title plugin that came with 5, do u need the continuum to run boris 3d title in FcP6?

No, but there was a script that was needed to install it to get Calligraphy up and running, but you don’t have to worry about that because you don’t have BCC.
Are you sure it’s not in the Effects tab under Video Generators > Boris > Title 3D?
-
Definitely not there, so weird!

There was an anomaly of this happening with FCP 5.1.x installs. Search here on the cow for “Title 3D” and see what people came up with. There was a fix.

Slightly off-topic to the original post, but hopefully relevant…has anyone else ever considered what a major headache it would be if the Boris title didn’t exist in FCP in some future version? Apple doesn’t own Boris do they? So we don’t really have a guarantee it will always be there. I’ve already had at least one project screwed up when a font needed by this tool was not activated, and nothing in FCP warned me so the tool just substituted a different font. In a long-form program it’s not hard to miss one title that uses an incorrect font. That experience was what got me thinking about whether I can really count on it always being there, or always working, or ever being updated to warn about unavailable fonts (not likely). Which is why I end up using targas with alpha channels in so many sequences, because those files can be saved with the project archive, and if they’re not available when you open the project FCP will tell you. Sorry for the rabbit trail –
