    My SYSTEM

    MAC dual G5 2.5 gig. 6.5 gb RAM.
    Apple 23″ display / Samsung 17″ LCD / Sony 1944Q Production monitor
    Blackmagic Decklink Extreme card v5.2.4
    OSX Tiger w/10.4.3 upgrade
    FCP 5 w/ 5.0.4 upgrade = production Suite
    1 300gig scratch disc
    500GB G-Raid Firewire800
    Decks = Beta-SP, DVCpro, DigiBeta.
    Audio Mix = Mackie 1604 VLZpro
    I believe I have the stock display card
    Panasonic AJD-230H DVCpro deck

    After looking at all the posts about scrolling text, I think FCP5 was the best. I want to put an edge on the text. Can this be done using the scroll generator in FCP5?
    Thanks in advance

    You want to avoid the FCP “built-in” title genrators.

    Use the Boris Titlers INCLUDED with the FCP install discs.

    Title Crawl will “roll” or crawl” titles.

    It can be a bit “touchy” but it works much better than any built-in FCP text generator.

    You can create titles with borders and shadows with Boris.

    It should be auto installed unless you are running FCP 4-4.5. In that case, look in the Extras Folder of the Install Disk under “Boris Calligraphy”.
