Why is the Premiere Pro titling tool so horrible?
-
WOW, I would have never thought of this. Thanks Jeremy.

That’s good!

I tried making a title the other day in PP and was not successful. I wanted to make a lower third bar for a title with a gradient that gradually went transparent on both ends and was solid in the middle. Could not do it. I spent a lot of time with the gradient option trying to figure it out. This title comes with FCP X.

Did you figure out how to do it in FCPX super easy or did you simply use a canned title effect that was created by someone else using Motion as opposed to creating it yourself from scratch using FCPX? Having said that can you post a short video or screen shot of the lower third?

I posted the screen shot somewhere in the thread. Yes it was a canned title, those titles are created in Motion for FCP X so they are apart of the eco system of FCP X. I did not have to go out to Motion to use it because it is a part of FCP X. I guess you are right, I had to use a title that was created in Motion, but you don’t have to have motion installed to use them. So in a way I did not use Motion ONLY FCP X. The integration is pretty slick. Looks like PP decided they needed a better title tool so they copied FCP X with it Essential Graphics Panel. However, I have read it needs a lot of work.

You still haven’t grasped that every single title in FCP X is a Motion project, have you? There is no such thing as a title that wasn’t created in Motion, period. Unless maybe it’s 3rd party, but even then…

This is such a non-discussion.

A feathered mask on a color matte would have been a LOT faster.

Right, however I was just trying to use the title tool which was the topic of this thread.

actually I just tried the feathered mask on a color matte and sorry I still could not create the look I wanted like this one created in FCP X.

I am hip and that is my point. You didn’t create it with FCPX. Having said that I can mimic what you have done with Premiere Pro.
[Brian Seegmiller] ” I did not have to go out to Motion to use it because it is a part of FCP X. I guess you are right, I had to use a title that was created in Motion, but you don’t have to have motion installed to use them.”
Yes but you are limited to canned effects without Motion. Premiere Pro is not limited to canned effects.
[Brian Seegmiller] “The integration is pretty slick. Looks like PP decided they needed a better title tool so they copied FCP X with it Essential Graphics Panel. However, I have read it needs a lot of work.”
It needs a lot of work compared to what? Are you saying you can do more with FCPX’s titling tools than with Premiere’s titling tools? The Essential Graphics Panel does not have all the drawing tools of Premiere’s old titling system but FCPX does not have all the tools of PP’s old titling system either. Keep in mind we still have the old titling tools. Having said that I imagine you can create some really cool motion graphics in AE and those parameters can be released into the Essential Graphics Panel of PP. Prior to the Essentials Graphics Panel Premiere Pro and AE had great integration. The only reason we have the Essential Graphics Panel is because people like you want canned effects. That is what the Essential Graphics Panel is design for. FCPX users always want to say Motion is part of FCPX. Then we CC users can say AE is part of Premiere Pro. Are you saying AE is lacking? If so how?
I mimicked your gradient using only Premiere Pro as you can see from the screen shots.
Can you mimic the logo below using only FCPX?
