[ChristopherGerencam]

[desiratay]

HAHAHAHAH what a happy tutorial!

[1awfrench]

But I don't want that to be my result...

[rainnemaid]

this is awesome

[IfeelikeVlogging]

lmfao the music in the beginning of the vid is the intro music of the news center in my country :P

[sangosora1]

Told me things I already knew...I wanted to know how to stick in on the clip...you didn't show that

[ILUVFFANDKH]

@sangosora1 when u drag to timeline, you put it under ur clip

[MikeRawbertson]

[billj572]

Wow never thought i would learn so much greg stuff to under the sea!!! thanks

[lskidmore01]

Thank you (:

[starogre]

lmao this tutorial was so lame but so helpful and quick to the point. was the theme a joke? ahaha

[wheezer6au]

If I hired a team of 5,000 to spend 50 years investigating the happiest way to show someone how to add text to a video in Final Cut, I would fall remarkable short of this video.

[skyler8perkins]

@wheezer6au awesome vid!

[littleknownphoto]

i can't listen to that frikkin moo sick no more! aaargh!

[gassygiants]

How do you layer text in final cut and get different fonts for each?

[snoboard4yahweh]

[AteenagerAndDepressd]

Best tut ever lmao

[thebagaskara21]

Thanks for the vid man, I'm at uni studying film and TV but I'm not an editor, still gets pretty embarrassing when I forget basic stuff like this though -_-;

[ImBrianFreedman]

Music = Epic

[theswimyfishy]

How did you do the zoom in screen recording

[mbakerphotography]

The music makes this.

[dezin8r]

Lmao how could anyone have the heart to dislike this video!?

[sebagisbert1]

[ncl47]

You are my hero.

[brooklynbuzz]

LOL Thank you so much for the video! And I love the song! Can't help but smile!! And come on people, it brings the whole video together. The song goes with the text! ;) <3

[slappypyle]

This guy is high as fuck.

[cenaloversz]

text in video is a purposed to video stealers so no one can steal it

[ChillProductions1]

this bro must have been fucking stoned when making this....god i love it

[gn8771]

diggginnn the music bruh

[cullly]

Good vid, but kinda distracting ;)

[GATstudios]

it makes me laugh every time

[artzinspiration]

[EffectFreak4]

Woooooooooooooow, tutorial in sloooooooooow moooooooootion...

[GATstudios]

that was the best song choice ever hahahah =D

[ChristinaShoutsOut]

oh my god the music is brilliant.

[matteoandalexfilms]

how do u get on that

[MaggianoTV]

im trying to drag the "Sample Text" into timeline but its wont allow me to drag it!! an "x" pops up..its not as simple as you explain it, you must be missing a step. also how do position the text to get it where i want?

[AuroraJiguang]

@randomstariffication Young man, USA is the ONLY country in the world that spells "colour" as "color." All other Englsh speaking nations use the proper English spelling.

[CoolXer0]

How do you change the position of text in fce ? I'm trying to drag the text to the bottom left corner but it refuses to comply :(

[17mxrider17]

why does my final cut only show the two outside windows like the video and what youve imported but not the middle one that has the text.

[aequitas18]

lmao i wasn't expecting that

[TheOriginalRevilez]

how do u adjust the length of the text like how long it shows

[krumulapsa]

haha, the music is so funny

made my evening

[bigfoot1000bc]

[MegaMonsterMike]

EXCELLENT tutorial. I was searching a while before I found this one... perfectly fitting what I desired to do.

I didn't like the non-voice narration or the disney music at first, but after watching the entire tut... I learned everything I wanted to know from your clear, concise and effective tut. Thanks!

[OrangeBoots15]

[angieafternoon]

Was helpful until the end.

[caraszmatic]

Thanks for the help, but is the music really necessary?

I was in the library and was trying to look up how to add text to clips and then the music started blasting...

[abbimcgx]

@caraszmatic mute it then ;)

[artintheforest]

@caraszmatic did everyone in the library break out in song?

[caraszmatic]

@artintheforest hahaha sadly no. I wish that they had.

[saeta]

@caraszmatic you should consider the possibility of finally accepting that youre a jerk sir

[jhevere12]

@caraszmatic maybe you shouldve had the speakers off in the library on youtube smartass

[omnom1nomatron]

@caraszmatic the music was the best part!

[DJnedKnowledge422]

[Katers17]

omfg it took me ten hours of editing to finally look up how the heck balls to add titles in final cut express. They certainly didn't make it easy to find. Thank you -.-

[enokesk]

mate this is the best tuttorial I ever seen.

music and the steps rules!

[IIIRampageIII]

[ReneeDIY]

This is the coolest Final Cut Pro learning experience I've ever had. THANK YOU

[hollieweir]

THANKS!

[bassassin1837]

how do you put text over video like in the dolfin part toward the end? how do you position the text in different parts of the screen?

[villaorleanspr]

Excellent, simple explanation and demonstration and fun to watch. Thank you.

[corefilmer]

when i put up a text and play the video it says unrendered

[HandbellOlive]

THANK YOU FOR UPLOADING THIS!! I've got a project for school due in a few weeks and I was panicking because I didn't know how I would be able to title it. Thank yoU!!

[Slapshot118]

u cant make it transparnt wat u do is u drag the text on top of the clip u want so like if ur clip is on v3 u drag ur text to v4 and it would atomatically b transparent

[sketchmo1]

what happened?! i was working on a project and all of a sudden the canvas and timeline disapeared! it wont let me reopen them! HELP?!?!?!

[felixartofmovement]

double click the sequence you want to open. so the timeline and canvas opens autmatically too. :) i had the same prob two days ago.

[Missafied]

ugh. that middle window just completely disappeared.... how do i get it back ? :(

[JasonSevyn]

Go to window at the top and click viewer

[merryguti]

thank you so much you just save my ass from my multimedia teacher

[SeekayFilms]

The only thing this video failed to show is how to make the background of the text transparent. =/ I can't find any option to change it to transparent (the color that shows up as just white and grey blocks).

[twiggyzzzz]

this doesint work for me I drag my text into my clip and it doesint over lap in ether u olny see the video or only see the text help somebody please

[Junkuis27]

me too and its really fuckin pissing me off.

[CamaraMan5000]

Hey, help Junkuis27 after I help u if u don't care....but when it's in the timeline where u want it, click on it ...go to Modify, Composite mode, screen.

[macbookNY]

what you need to do is make sure you drag the text file to the V2 section, which is on top of the video you are dragging into. Meaning don't drag the text INTO the video, but right above it in the timeline.

[nofuckinglimit]

Thanks that was great!

[PianoWizard]

This video helped and was fun to watch

[ShotgunSandwich]

thanks bro that was awesome!

[xDaNnYx17]

ha thanks dis helped. Also this tutorial made my day after man u lost the champions league final because of that amazing song

[weirdlittlebiscuit]

Helpful vid...... cheers.

[aLemonfor4]

This was great!!

Can you make the title shorter than 10 seconds? It won't let me cut it or speed it up.

[dg110710]

Never mind, I figured it out.

[dg110710]

How do you drag the "Sample Text" into the timeline? I tried, but the text doesn't leave the box.

[RiteLightProductions]

when i do mine it just comes up with a black background ???

[Instylew]

try placing your text above the frames you want the text to appear.

[gaura]

It's the same for FCP right?

[RaginB]

but why did this tutorial video make me soo happy though~!?

lol

[niok123]

The Music probably

[bananaplate]

[lovelyBoy1990]

[Disco234jockey]

Buy it in any computer related shop.

[Pandemonium44]

or.. copy it to a USB memory from someone who has it and then search serial on google, that's how I did it :D

[lovelyBoy1990]

that was so funny

[CITGProductions]

[DarthVader251]

Great song choice!!

[darkroxas46]

can any1 tell me da songs name lol it was kinda fun hehehehe

[touchogrey]

What did you have no childhood?

[libreamor]

This one is beautifull enjoyable and practical.

Can you give a hint for any tutorials where to learn how to manage text effects, zooms and so on? Thanks a lot.

[chilled99]

I concur. If only all tutorials were this great!

[ftvstudy]

Perhaps in a more detailed tutorial a mic will be used but for the time being we have set up this theme of having music backing the tutorials and no narration as we do not want them to be like every other tutorials. I want the tutorials to be fun so viewers may enjoy learning final cut. Your suggestion is noted, of course and will be considered for future tutorials added to youtube and out zebramax site. Thankyou.

[shox5555]

what video editor is that?

[ftvstudy]

Final Cut Express HD.

[funnyent]

cool! thanks

[hoarp001]

Wow, final cut express looks shockingly similar to Final Cut Pro...

[ftvstudy]

Agreed... the Pro interface is pretty much an exact replica of it's baby brother Express, though there are numerous extra effects in the pro version, and capabilities not found in Express.

[Maddie91kiss]

Thank you so much! That really helped me ;D

[blackbounty6]

do you no wer 2 get the version u have?
