Other Options for Creating and Adding Titles

If a title you have in mind is something you can’t create with the available text
generators, you can use other methods to create titles and incorporate them into your
sequence:

 Using Photoshop files or stills for titles: If a title you really want is best created in another

application such as Photoshop, you can create it there and add it to your sequence as a
still image. An easy way to bring an image file into your sequence is to simply drag it
from your desktop to a project tab or bin in the Browser. See Chapter 17, “

Working With

Still Images and Photographs

,” on page 335 for a number of useful things to consider

when importing still images and photographs into your movie.

 Using LiveType titles: You can create many different kinds of titles in LiveType and

import them directly into Final Cut Pro. For more information, see “

Using LiveType to

Create Titles for Your Project

,” next.

 Using titles created in Motion: Motion allows you to create complex text animations,

and supports LiveFonts.
