  • You should find “Title 3D” and “Title Crawl” in the same pull-down menu as all of the other FCP title tools.

    The “Title 3D” and “Title Crawl” programs are included on the original install discs of FCP software.
    BUT, you must CHOOSE to install them when you installed FCP.
    Its possible that (if you didn’t install them) those choices will not be available.

    If you don’t have them already installed, insert the FCP install disc and look for the option to install these Boris title apps.

    But the problem is that I’m not updating any older version of FCP into HD. I’m installing a full version of FCP HD, and in the install, there is no options for Boris Titles… Does this option only exist on older versions of FCP??

  • Since FCP HD is also called FCP 4.5 (or later), and FCP 4.x added “Title 3D” and “Title Crawl” as PART OF the STANDARD install (it was a OPTION in FCP 3.x) you should already have these titlers available in the pulldown menu in the lower right corner of the Viewer window (the small “filmstrip” icon with the “A” in it) where all of the other text generators/titlers are located.

    Here a couple of links:

    Hey Matte!

    I downloaded Boris from apple website and it finally opened on my FCPHD!

    And the tracking animation got really smoother!

    Thank you so much man.
