Check out fxfactory. Lots of title packages there.

OK, thanks Jeremy.

I’ll recommend MotionVFX: https://www.motionvfx.com

nice quality! i would call those high end. How complicated is the install process? (I thought the Motion Array process was a little much.)

[Jeremy Garchow]

Great recommend. Motionvfx is great too.

They have an installer that makes it easy, called mInstaller.

[David Mayer]

thanks for mentioning that – easy is good

You can always open a copy of a native FCPX text package in motion , make some modifications and save it. That Copy will then show up in you browser with the modifications you made. I barely know Motion but have been modifying and making my own text packages to fill certain needs I have and even for a motion noob its possible.

good to know

The existing text templates in X are all done in motion. I find that frequently there is a parameter of the template that I want to control but can’t with the default template. You can open a copy in motion and publish the desired parameters of the template being modified and save changes. That copy shows up in FCP text browser with the additional template controls published ie. controls appear in the inspector and then you can modify them as needed for your project.

Thanks Mark. Mostly I am looking for packages that are quick and easy and a whole level up from fcpx lower thirds and title animations. Especially really clean boxes with the words inside where you have full control of the size, shape, color of box, and text. Plan to try motionvfx today – the demo is the best one I have seen so far.
