  • Creating a word highlight for a FCP X Title

    Posted by T. Payton on August 20, 2012 at 4:15 pm

    I’m trying to help a fellow in the FCP X techniques forum with a text generator that will highlight one word at a time (https://forums.creativecow.net/thread/344/13351)

    It was able to get close making the highlight move from word to word automatically, but what is needed is a parameter to keyframe the highlight as needed to match the VO.

    Here is what I did so far:

    Any thoughts on how to pull this off?

    1. Apply the Sequence Text behaviour
    2. Set the speed to Custom
    3. Publish the Custom Speed parameter

    Alex,

    Thanks for that. I created the title, but for some reason once in FCP X while I can make a parameter adjustment and it change the highlight, once a keyframe is set in FCP X, setting additional keyframes and making adjustments doesn’t move the highlight.

    Looks like this behaviour doesn’t work properly in Final Cut Pro!

    Not sure of a workaround yet.

    I’m investigating…
