Once the exclusive domain of specialized graphic artists, titling is now a function that editors are regularly required to perform. This colorful book shows users how to master the techniques for creating a complete range of video titles with the integrated software tools in the latest version of Final Cut Pro.
The book provides detailed instructions for LiveType and Calligraphy, two new specialized tools bundled within Final Cut Pro that can be used by editors to perform any level of titling from the routine to the extraordinary. Full color illustrations present "best practice" examples of broadcast and corporate title design, and show how to utilize special effects such as LiveFonts, LiveObjects, system fonts, textures, and the use of the Calligraphy tool in combination with LiveType Effects.
