Live Type is a program that is included in the Final Cut Pro suite and is used to create animated title and text sequences for your film project. there are a variety of animations to choose from as well as colors, fonts sizes and backgrounds
Where you are creating a text slate, you first have to decide how animated and customized you want it to look. Go to the upper right-hand box in the Inspector and enter your text. The text will appear in the Canvas as a white, hollow-looking interpretation of your words. It will also appear as a bar in the Time line, representing the length of the clip. From here, you can go to the tabs in the Inspector to adjust the nature of the text, such as its opacity and width. In the Canvas, you can reposition the text to where you would like it to appear on the screen. In the Timing tab in the Inspector, you can change how long the clip will stay on the screen.
Effects are one of the best aspects of Live Type, and often the main reason to use the program. You will again be given a Category menu, which, once you select it, will give you are variety of options. Double-click the ones you want; they will be applied to your text or background, depending on which block track you have highlighted in the Time line. These effects range from the activities of the text while on the screen to simple transitions such as Fade In and Fade Out. Go into the Time line and decide exactly how long you want the text, backgrounds and effects to last on the screen. There should be a nice synergy between all three. Make sure the transition effects do not take up too much of the text’s screen time, otherwise the audience will not be able to read it fully. If you are using a background texture or object, make sure they appear a little before the text, and not the other way around.
