I’m not sure why your talent didn’t pick up real wood and save you the trouble but I bet you have a reason. I think you would be best keyframing it once it leaves the talents hand. Best of luck.

Google maps are copyrighted. Take a look at Google Maps Pro. https://www.google.com/enterprise/earthmaps/earth_pro.html
It’s maps are not water marked and give you a lot more options. Best of luck.

I like bonus questions and Futura is one of my favorite fonts. Anyways, Yes you can change the Motion Templates Font and color to a matte or whatever, if you save the new Motion Template as the same name as the old one so it replaces the old template. Hope this helps and best of luck.

This is my thought. If the SD version is just temporary I would build the Lower Thirds in HD. Then import the HD version into FCP and resize it to fit. Then you’ll be good to go when you need the HD version. Hope this helps and best of luck.
