    Hello everyone,

    does anyone know of a FCP7 or FCP X or Motion plugin that gets processes like this:

    https://provideocoalition.com/index.php/smartin/video/animating_text_highlights_in_motion/

    automated?

    I already made a couple of those, but if you have to make lots of them, it can get time consuming, because if one title is longer than the other, you have to adjust the size and/or speed of the ‘shiny’ mask.
    If you need a quick delivery turnaround, automated plugins would be great (like the Callouts package of Ripple Training)

    Are there plugins or programs (or self made Motion 5/FCPX effect/generators?)) that can automate this process? Paid or free, doesn’t matter.

    Little bit off-topic, but the same kind of question for the whole ‘write on’ effect. I’ve seen tutorials how to do it, but are their plugins for that?

    Kind regards and thanks for any suggestions,

    M.

    It’s possible to create a title effect in Motion that is rigged and adjustable inside FCPX which would make the process much faster. Do you have Motion?

    Yes, I have (I made shiny letters like this in Motion 4, I also have Motion 5).
    I know how the rigging thing works (more or less), I just don’t really know in what way I could automate this effect.
    And considering that although I know some basics in Motion, it still takes me quite a bit of time.

    BTW: on another forum I already got the tip of CHV software (haven’t checked that out yet), and Volumetrix 2, which didn’t look exactly what I wanted in the previews, but maybe the one that I want is in the presets somewhere (and adjustable in such a way).
