Changing the sub-title text color over time.
Hi friends,
I’m new to FCP. Our company focuses on adding ‘Same Language Subtitles’ to songs.This sub-titling differs from the normal subtitles in a sense that the words are high-lighted as they are being spoken.For eg. “Good Morning” . This text would be in complete red color at the start.After 5 seconds, first word would change to white color.Then after another 5 seconds the 2nd word would also change to white. That is the text words should change their color overtime.
Have a look at the sample video to see this effect in action:
https://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-35144424913746327191.What would be the best way in FCP to achieve this?(We are having FCP 5.)
2.What would be the preferable titling app?
I saw LiveType . The inbuilt text generator of FCP?I have a text file with 50 lines.I would like the app to read this txt file and produce 50 sub-titles for each line starting from the first. Is this possible with the above applications?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks for your time,
Arvind.

For subtitling I can recommend the SubBits Subtitler by videotoolshed.com.
You can easily paste your lines there and then export to Final Cut.
For how to achieve the effect:
It doesn’t really matter which text-plugin, qualitywise I recommend Boris, if you use the SubBits subtitler there is a plugin for text included. I would lay to identical textlayers, change the color of the upper one and animate a four-point-mask over time to achieve the “decoloring”. This is pretty fast and easily configurable.Regards,
