[andy patterson] “Charlie did not show how it was done.”
Bored again tonight, so here ya go.. 15 min real time, ~4 of which were spent creating the font to use, so 10-11 min., no rendering. I sped it it up. A lot. ☺
Again, FCP X is not 3D Modeling software and I’m not suggesting that it is. At all.

[Walter Soyka] “What on earth is the purpose of this line of discussion?”
Excellent question. ☺ This thread was started to compare the canned titles in Premiere vs the canned titles in FCP X. Not sure how we ended up discussing 3D object modeling in FCP X (which is not something it is intended to do). I guess it’s my fault for making the silly bowtie animation. Mea Cowpa… ????

[andy patterson] ” I bet you could do it really fast and easy using Carrara yourself. You are so close to working in a dedicated 3-D program. The jump would not be huge. Having said that the canned effects and templates might be better in one NLE but creating logos might be better in another NLE. I will admit everyone’s needs will be different.”
Of course. And, honestly, neither FCP X or Motion are billed as 3D Programs. They do 3D text, and very well, and can be hacked into doing 3D objects like the bowtie. I certainly wouldn’t present that logo to Chevy, it was just slapped together. You’ll always get better results when you use an app that was designed to do this.
However, you can do some interesting things with FCP X and Motion. (fwiw, this guy freely admits that these could be done better in dedicated 3D modeling apps, but still… he made an FCP X plugin out of them)
[andy patterson] “Having said that thanks for the demo. I would like to include the video clips in a demo I am creating if I can.”
Sure, just add the caveat that it was done *very* quickly, with no fine tuning at all in an app that wasn’t intended to do this type of thing. 🙂

[andy patterson] “Was the Chevy Logo created in FCPX or Motion?”
All in FCP X using stock title, generators and effects. Thought be fair I did have to make the bowtie logo into a font using a couple free web based conversion sites.
Was gonna mess with it in Pr, but for some reason it shows up doubled side by side… It shows up properly in everything else, Word, Email, whatever. I’ll see if I can figure out why if I get a minute sometime.
[andy patterson] “it just depends if it would really compliment the the products or services for the client. “
Agree. And honestly, no matter how good any canned titles or templates are, they’re best only for a starting point or inspiration. If for no other reason than they are recognizable as canned templates which is not a good thing.
[andy patterson] “I hope it is better and not worse. I will probably download it this weekend.”
It is better in many of ways, but honestly feels a little… unfinished. The fact that the “legacy” title tool is still there can make things a little confusing.

[andy patterson] “Replicate the logo below in FCPX with the 3-D titling tool. I am sure GM would prefer you animate their Chevy logo as opposed to animating the word Chevy. See my point? “
My point in this post was to compare the contents of the new Pr title panel, which I like, to the contents of the FCP X title templates, which I also like. What you’re suggesting really has nothing to do with that.
EDIT: FWIW, I rarely use the canned templates in FCP X in real life without extensive tweaking, though there are some very good ones, and I doubt I’ll use the canned titles in Premiere. I’ll definitely use the new Title text capabilities in Pr though. 🙂

[andy patterson] “Perhaps you could do a demo. Make a few logos using only FCPX. “
For laughs, here are 5 canned logos, and one “custom” made from stock elements in FCP X plus a green screen object I grabbed from the internet. Other than the downloaded image, all this was done in X only with no 3rd party anything or other apps. It took about 10 minutes, which is probably obvious. 😉
This isn’t to take away from the new Premiere Panel which, again, is a nice addition.
