The Boris TITLE 3D is what I use, and it is VERY clean and easy to use.
For animated lower thirds, look at Livetype.

I’d use Title 3D.
Its in the FCP “Generators” choices.It comes from Boris and is included on the FCP install disc(s).

Title 3D and Boris Calligraphy are one and the same.

I like the look of Motion for a lot of text uses.
Nice and clean and very flexible.
Boris Title 3D works well too.kj

Livetype give you the kind of control you’re used to with Inscriber. Take the time to have someone show you the ropes.
The boris product I found unreliable and didn’t have any kind of accurate preview of what you’re doing. Critical positioning of elements was a frustrating joke.
Motion is kind of overkill when you see all the neat fx in Livetype. Go with Livetype. And do a search under Inscriber this has been discussed in depth. 🙂

Does anyone else wish there was a better title solution with FCP? I actually miss the Title Tool from Avid simply because you can see the video underneath the graphic that you are creating. I know that you can export a still or ref movie and pull that into LiveType, but it’s an extra step that is a bit annoying. Sometimes the Title 3D graphics seem a bit soft to me as well, so I’ve been using LiveType a bit more lately. Or Photoshop.

Now that I’ve got Motion wired, it’s by far the most powerful titling tool in FCS.

Doing repetitive stuff? Look into streamlining your workflow with AutoMotion, which works with Motion.
Looks like an excellent tool for managing large lists of names, lower thirds, etc.
