Hi,
The feature that enables you to create intersecting shapes (Z-Space Composite) is not in FX, but is in RED.
Cheers,

Hi,
In the BCC Page Turn effects control panel, you should see a “Title-Matte” group. In the title group of controls, you should see the option to “Apply to Title-Matte”. You need to enable this function to see through the alpha channel in the title.
We have a tutorial for this on-line and available to download here:

Cheers,

Hi,
Graffiti and RED are superb titling solutions and both are capable of generating 2D and 3D text with automation for roll/crawl/face/zoom/shuffle etc. Both are scanline rendering title solutions, with an OpenGL preview to ease set-up. Graffiti is a sub-set of RED and is our base level titling solution. The step up from Graffiti is RED.
Boris Blue is another titling option from BorisFX, and includes the same 2D and 3D titling options as RED but it comes with an OpenGL renderer, meaning a super fast export of the generated 3D titles. Think of Blue as kind of like RED with more creative options such as 3D warping and shading for text elements and the ability to render these graphics with scene reflection / texture mapping and imported video in real-time.
I would strongly suggest downloading the free trial version of RED and Blue to see if one of these titling applications meets your needs.
Cheers,
Peter.

Hi,
It might be that you did not position the play-head in the timeline of FCP in the transition area before clicking on the RED banner. If you are not positioned in the transition area when you click on the banner then the interface will not launch. This is a limitation of the Apple FCP API and not something that can be controlled by Boris RED.
Hope this helps,
Peter.

Hi Steve,
Have you tried adding some motion blur to the piece to see if that helps to eliminate the staggered movement that you are seeing?
Cheers,
Peter.

Hi Debbi,
Is it a long clip? If so, perhaps you might try shortening the clip to see if that helps.
Cheers,

Hi Steve,
Do you have the 1:2:1 deflicker function enabled in the project settings dialogue box? I would also suggest that you enable the “better quality field rendering” option, which is also located in the project settings window.
I hope this helps.
Cheers,
Peter.
