In-Depth Information
To position text over a colored back-
ground select Matte from within
Generators (found under the Effects tab
in the Browser). You then need to
overlay the Matte Color on top of the
video track and then position the Text
Generator of your choice over this.
The Matte Generator can be cropped in the Motion window and the trans-
parency adjusted through either the opacity setting in the Motion window or
by using Clip Overlays. Professional looking titles can then be achieved.
Switch on the Safe Title display to show what is termed 'cutoff'.
This is found under the same menu as Image
Wireframe.
Master Templates
One can tap directly into the power of Motion from within Final Cut Pro 6
through the Master Templates. This is advantageous as the editor can access
these effects without having to step outside of the Final Cut Pro environment -
thus there is no need to learn another application. These templates work in a
very similar way to the other effects in Final Cut Pro.
