Keyframing Text in Final Cut Pro

[HelpTrainingCourses]

Agree with what you said in the text tutorial that motion's a better tool for this but I still find it's handy to know how to animate text in final cut for a quick title sequence now and again. This made a good refresher after I hadn't used it for a while - thanks.

[iPanda15]

How did you get that big X ???????

[Super98Billy]

@iPanda15 it's called a wireframe, you click on the box next to the percent at the top to get it to apear.

Hey there! I'm looking for a tutorial on having a selected portion of text from a document zoom out with the document still in the background while the selected text is in focus and then the selected text falls back into place. Do you have a video tutorial that shows how to do that or will you have one out?

[mmguk]

I have a question, everytime I select a text or a video on the canvas, I can't move it or resize it or do anything to it. It appears no 'X' thing that crosses the screen like on 3:28. It's REALLY bugging me, please help me?

[LoveDemocracy]

@soWAZZAP Go to 'View' - scroll down and select 'Image + Wireframe' - also can be selected using the right hand control button above the middle of both screens.

[adamtobit]

Can you do the Appearing text effect in Final Cut Pro?

[PortGames4Mac]

hey im kinda a noob at this and was wondering how you moved the text around... Whenever I select the text it doesnt get the "X" on the video editor, can you help?

[LoveDemocracy]

@PortGames4Mac Go to 'View - scroll down and select 'Image + Wireframe'. The wireframe is the "X".

[roystreetmedia]

[FinalCutKing]

@roystreetmedia Yes, watch my newest video called "Appearing Text Effect"

[synapticexorcism]

[iSanmuar]

[LoveDemocracy]

[stevensonrf]

"You have great power and responsibility..." I think someone has been watching too many Spiderman movies;) Great Tutorial; thanks

[FCPjunkie]

what would we do without the finalcutking lol !!!

[Homeboysucker]

You're the best. keep goin

[RandomTheMagicDragon]

Great tutorial but I have a problem. Whenever I keyframe text in Final Cut, it won't render afterward. When I try to render, the render progress bar shows up for a split second at 0% and then disappears, leaving my keyframed text unrendered. It's super frustrating. I could be just really dumb or something but I can't figure it out.

[insanj]

@RandomTheMagicDragon

I think the problem is that you aren't selecting the right clip. Whenever you click a clip in the timeline that is already rendered and fine, and then try to render it, what you just described happens.

[BeachHorse369]

Thing is is that I don't have the pro... will it work on Express?

[ganmanG]

thanks FinalCutKing...just my opinion the music sucks....jkin...you're a great teacher!!!

[clubflush80]

[FinalCutKing]

@clubflush80 Thanks. I will keep them coming for you!

[BrianRazz]

Thanks for the help.  Going from Avid so this great info.

[doodydemon]

[FinalCutKing]

@doodydemon Option R

[doodydemon]

mkay, thanks!

[PrestleySnipes]

@doodydemon noob

[doodydemon]

Considering the fact that I don't own a Mac or Final Cut and have to use it at school for a class, I don't know everything. Stop trying to be cool on the internet PrestleySnipes.

[mar109us]
