Motion to FCP Template Text Issue
Hi,
Not sure if this belongs in here or the FCP forum but here goes…
I’m attempting to build a basic template in Motion for use in FCP.
Everything works fine and I can open the template in FCP and then change the text within the template in the viewer.BUT! When I press return to start a new line of text I get a small vertical line, a bit like an “i” but without the dot. How can I change the template’s text content from one line to two without getting this line?
Many thanks,
Patrick -

You need to change the text layout to a paragraph with the size you want in Motion.

Thanks, Mark.
I just went back into Motion and added some blank lines under my original line of text.
As long as I don’t press return when changing the template’s text content in FCP and instead just click on one of the new blank lines it works a treat.EDIT – Further investigation revealed it was an issue with the font (Gotham Bold) but the above fix was necessary anyway as client specifically requested that typeface.
