FCP.6, where’s Boris 3D?

Chris,

The message and the link below are from the nice people at Boris, not from me. Hope it helps. It worked for several others.

Here’s the long and the short of it. The four bundle files that make up the Boris titling application called Calligraphy rely on the operating system to flag them as bundles instead of folders. In some cases (like if you update FCP or your OS) these bundles get mislabeled as folders, therefore FCP can not “see” them and you loose your titles. The fix for this is simple. Below is a link to where you can download a set of new bundle files that identify
themselves as bundles. Once you’ve downloaded them, locate the FCP plugins folders here: Hard Drive>Library>Application Support>Final Cut Pro System Support>Plugins. In there you should find the four FOLDERS named: “Text Scrambler.bundle”, “Title 3D.bundle”, “Title Crawl.bundle” and “Vector Shape.bundle”. Delete those FOLDERS and replace them with the FILES you just downloaded.

That’s it.

thank you, I’ll download those. In the meantime, I started playing with the Master Templates, new in fcp6. If you’ve use those and have any advice, pros/cons, let me know. Thanks.
