Titles
Is there any way to type a title and see where it will be on the screen without exporting a frame and going into Live Type?
I’m using FCP Studio 2
As an Avid editor- I find this extremely annoying- so hopefully- I’m doing something wrong.

I don’t understand, why are you go to LiveType, and if you are going to LiveType why aren’t you making the text there?
All the best,

I don’t want to go to live type- I’m just laying out phone numbers, disclaimers, etc for a commercial. I’m using boris 3d text now- I was just using the “text”. Both from the drop down menu in the viewer. Right now, I type the text into boris, edit it in without seeing it over the video. Go to the motion tab,,,, move things around a little- still very clunky, then go back to Boris if I need to adjust, back to the motion tab to bump it up, down left right. I wish I could see the text over the image while I’m typing it.

Make the title in Title 3D. Edit it into the timeline. Open it from the timeline into the viewer with the playhead over the text in the timeline. Use the position x/y function in the Controls tab to position the text. Do not use the controls in the Motion tab.
All the best,
