Using LiveType Titles
in Final Cut Pro
You can directly import LiveType project files into Final Cut Pro HD. This eliminates the
need to render a QuickTime movie of your LiveType title each time you want to use it in
Final Cut Pro.
Note: To open LiveType projects directly in Final Cut Pro, LiveType 1.2 or later must be
installed on the Final Cut Pro system you are using.
To import a LiveType project into Final Cut Pro, do one of the following:
m Choose File > Import or Command-I and navigate to the LiveType project you want to
import into Final Cut Pro.
m From the Finder, drag a LiveType project file into the Final Cut Pro Browser.
The LiveType project file appears as a clip in the Final Cut Pro Browser.
A LiveType project file within Final Cut Pro is simply referred to as a LiveType clip or a
LiveType movie. If necessary, you can reconnect the media (in this case, the actual
LiveType project file on disk) just as you would any other Final Cut Pro clip.
Using LiveType Clips in Final Cut Pro
In Final Cut Pro, imported LiveType project files behave just like any other clips. They
can be organized within the Browser, opened in the Viewer, edited into sequences,
trimmed, copied, and pasted. LiveType clips maintain normal master and affiliate clip
relationships.
Playing LiveType Titles in Final Cut Pro
LiveType titles can be played back in Final Cut Pro like any other media file. However,
when edited into sequences, LiveType clips appear with a red render bar in the
Timeline, so you will have to render those portions of your sequence.
