How do you make the time line scoll along with the play-cursor?

I don’t know about anyone else, but I don’t see anything wrong with good old acetate and rub-on letters. It’s worked for me since 1978! 🙂

I must be missing something.

With Boris titler I have no idea how big my text is going to be as I type. The UI seems to grow and shrink depending on how many characters I type.

There is no title safe.

Depending on how big or small my fonts are or if its one line or two, changes where the text is rendered on the FCP timeline. If I need text to appear in EXACTLY THE SAME PLACE every time it won’t do it. And if I go from a one liner to a two liner, that’s a big deal in the Motion tab of the clip.

Livetype has come closest, and it is very nice with the animation and everything. Active frame of video from FCP is such a common request I’m sure it will come soon enough.
