lower third titles – adjusting space between 1st and 2nd line

[Kevin Monahan]

Boris Title 3D for all lower thirds and simple titles. It also has quite a few interesting parameters to animate.

Boris Title Crawl for all rolls and crawls.

Boris Vector Shapes for shapes with an an alpha channel (transparency).

Boris Text Scrambler has a few more parameters than Title 3D.

All FCP editors should master these tools.

Sure, we have Motion. But I “don’t go there” unless I need some serious horsepower.

I write: Sorry, I really totally disagree with that.

For a job as described at the beginning of this thread Motion maybe is the only tool which makes sense. Live Type and Boris do not make any sense at all – except you like things complicated and like to spent hours on eventual changes.

The standard generators available for Final Cut Pro are very good if you know how to use them and they are way faster to handle when it comes changes.
There is my free TextUp generator which does handle this kind of job very nice

Boris, Live Type are good for titles but not for lower thirds and subtitles.

I’m definitively not a Motion specialist – more a kind of bloody beginner – but it’s so easy to handle lower thirds with Motion and Final Cut Pro that even I was able to write a tutorial about that last year.
