Very good Andy. Your example is why we would not want to design a logo in PP. But seriously, It looks like your lower third gradient title is well done. I have been trying to do that. How did you do that?
Andy Paterson “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?”
I was referring to the the Essentials Graphics Panel compared to FCP X and Motion. Not the titling tool.
Andy Paterson Are you saying AE is lacking? If so how?
Never said AE was lacking just the new Essentials Graphics Panel. I have not used it myself but others have said it needs work.
You can create custom titles, effects, transitions, and generators in Motion for FCP X. PP will soon follow suit and copy. I disagree that the new EGP was made just for canned effects. Some of the default templates in both FCP X and PP’s new EGP are however pretty lame.

I tried, no can do. I guess with the new Essential Graphics you could make that template but the bosses don’t want to upgrade until bugs are gone.

I could not get the look I wanted using both. For tiles and or graphics, you would need to use a graphics program more capable than FCP X or PP. What I like about Motion and FCP X is you can publish a generator, effect, title and transitions with many parameters and it is available in FCP X. Design it once and then use it many times without going back to Motion. What will PP copy next? Wait for it… “The Essential Custom Generator Effects and Transitions Panel”

I did just like you told me to do . Add a feather mask to a color matte.
-
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.

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

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.

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.

I don’t have to select a range to export a master file as long as the Timeline is the active section. You can set up custom encodes as presets in compressor and than you can make them available in FCP X. One benefit of sending to compressor is it won’t stop encoding as you continue to edit in FCP X. When using Media Encoder with your queued media it will stop while you play your sequence in PP.
With third party apps, they can be updated sooner instead of waiting for Apple or others to do it. It might not even be a priority.

There is also this little app that will turn your managed clips from a library into external media. https://www.fcp.co/final-cut-pro/articles/1969-convert-managed-final-cut-pro-x-libraries-to-external-media-libraries-with-a-free-fcpx-migration-utility-app
