hi Jason

my churn is full and my butter usually rancid …

i don’t know much about belle-nuit support, but Andreas Kiel at Spherico (Title Exchange) is usually very responsive and helpful. he often hangs out over at the LAFCPUG forum, so if you need to contact hime with regards to his Title Exchange tool then you might want to try your luck over there.

you could private message him or just post an open question to him directly on the Cafe LA forum. I’ve not known him not answer (unless he didn’t see it of course)

good luck
Andy

well they could take it away, but what would be the point in that?
actually it serves a good purpose as a text handling template for those who want to create their own custom filters with fxscipt.

as recommended, stick with Title3D and ignore the basic Text generators
if you need more than Title3D, then you could do a lot worse than exploring LiveType and Motion

cheers
Andy

select the sequence in the browser and choose “Batch Digitise” from the menu

(note: unless you use media manager first to “create offline” w/ “delete unused media” then this method will want to digitise the full extents of the source clips used in the sequence)

not the most overused … that crown surely has to go to the dissolve. i can’t count how many times i’ve seen dissolves where there was just no need, crappy editing.
and close behind the dissolve comes, time-remapping … how boring is that getting?

but yes, I’ll give the morph transition third place in the “most overused” race, and what a close race it was

… Re:Vision Effects have a morph tool too.

absolutely … calling that other stuf beer is a crime!

by the way .. if its of any interest. due to the downright bizarreness of the exchange rate system, and the fact that HK’s dollar is pegged to the US dollar, HK’s AppleStore can often be even cheaper than the States for Apple products … go to an Apple retailer and offer them cash and it gets cheaper still.

Integration with Shake 4
Top major motion picture studios and digital effects houses use Shake 4 to create effects for some of the world

[Andy Mees]

yep … roundtriping to Shake is in FCP 6

there you go. I used opt-8 all the time for “live scopes” before the scopes went live for real … never knew it was called QuickView 🙂

[Andy Mees]

you might even want to go one step futher and use FCP Attic from https://www.chesa.com/pro/

does the same as FCP Rescue, but lets you also back up custom keyboards, button bars, window layouts etc plus you can choose your backup location (in order to more easily facilitate migrating your settings between machines)

you can use my “Simple Crop” plugin … one trick pony that I created in a rush (ie no frills) for someone else who asked for the exact same thing
