End Credits Roll // searched and searched w/ no luck
Posted by Phil Yunker on April 11, 2006 at 8:58 pmI searched and searched for this tip here. I have a word doc with credits from the producer and I know there is a way to use the file along with adding an asterik * between the title and the person and then importing it into FCP and using the Text-scrolling text generator.. I can’t remember the next step.
Thanks,
PHIL

Hope this helps-

Actually, all you need to do is import it into Boris Title Crawl which is in your generators folder in most cases. If it’s not (likely you have FCP 4-4.5), you can install it from your install disk>extras folder>Boris Calligraphy. The tab stops should come in intact. Do not use the asterisk method in the standard text generator as there is not as much control and is a lot of extra work you can avoid with Boris.Kevin Monahan

Thanks.

When i aplly the the astherisk in the text that should be at the left of the screen (the astherisk is after the text on righ side) i have the error message out of range.
