FCPX Titles – How to Align?

[Robert Bracken]

No preset. If you can see my alignment is to the left which puts in right in the middle of the text screen. This is very frustrating.

So you are using ‘Custom’ setting?

[Robert Bracken]

yes

Hi Jeremy,

Your video looked great. Thanks for the tip!

[Robert Bracken]

after reading this thread, you need to double click the text. It will highlight with with a white box. click and drag the puck it gives you.

Make sure the transform effect is off. That is located in the viewer window as a box with a left pointing arrow. Make sure that is turned off.

I just went though the same thing as Tom Ohmit again. I’ve been through it before. I’ve read this thread before. It solved my problem before. And then the problem recurred. And I just couldn’t figure it out this time.

THE PROBLEM:
The feedback from moving the text puck is just terrible. If your line length is not long enough, no matter what you do, you will not get any visible feedback. The text will appear to simply move back and forth on the video screen, as if you were doing a transform. You only get feedback if you have a very long line of text: the amount the text that’s cut off will vary.

SOLUTION: Dear future Brad, the next time this happens:
Make sure the line of text runs the full width of the video screen. Now adjust the puck and the feedback will allow you to understand what is being adjusted.
