Are you using title 3d?

Comes with FCP. Everyone that has fcp has title 3d. It under “Boris”

There it is, thanks for your help, this will do nicely.

Cheers.

Stephen,

If you have to create many Lower Thirds and those might have to be changed during the edit you shouldn’t use Boris. Changes there do cost a lot of time.
Better way is to create (or use) a simple Motion Template.
Another option is to use my free TextUp generator, though it’s more thought for use with subtitles.

Hi thanks,
Yeah boris is a little fiddly, this is for a daily post produced news programme, and previously the built in lower thirds worked fine. But we have made some changes and it no longer works for us. I use After Effects, so didn’t think of using Motion. Looks like it will really well, except I cannot get FCP to automatically recognize the template as anamorphic, it is set right in motion, but I have to manually check the anamorphic property each time I use it.

I’m using FCP 6.06 and Motion 3.

Thanks,
Stephen
