Crash Course On Credit Roll?

[Bouncing Account needs new email address]

[35mmGuy] “I typed in some credits, and hit apply,”

Typed them into WHAT?

[Richard Boddington]

I double click the shot I want to key the titles over to bring it into my viewer, then I hit the “A” in the bottom right of the viewer, then I scrolled down to “title crawl”.

I window pops open where I can type the credits, I type them, and hit “apply.”

But then what? Nothing happens??????

Thanks
Richard

You have to change the animation style to Roll. It’s in the Controls tab.

[Richard Boddington]

Ok I did that, thanks. Now what?

I still don’t see any credits and FCP has not placed a render bar over the shot.

Are you making this change to the actual clip in the timeline?

You’re not done yet! You still need to edit it into the timeline. You’re just creating the text file in the Viewer when you do what you do. FCP doesn’t yet know where you want it to go.

Once you’ve typed, hit “apply” and are back in the regular editing mode, select your in point on your timeline and insert or overwrite.

The first problem I encounter is that the demo shows a multi coloured menu coming up in the viewer that says:

Insert
Overwrite
Replace
Fit To Fill
Superimpose

I follow his steps but I don’t get that menu. I’m in FCP 4, is that a function of FCP 5?

That overlay menu is in the canvas. It’s been there since FCP 1.

You need to do the basic tutorial from the install DVD.
