Create specialized versions of transitions in Motion
Many of the transitions were created using Motion, an Apple application designed to
work with Final Cut Pro. You can open these transitions in Motion, make modications,
and save the changes as a new transition le that appears in the Transitions Browser.
Important: The following steps require you to have Motion 5 installed on
your computer.
Modify a transition in Motion
1 Click the Transitions button in the toolbar.
2 In the Transitions Browser, Control-click the transition you want to modify, and choose
“Open a copy in Motion” from the shortcut menu.
Motion opens and the transition’s project appears.
3 Modify the transition project.
See Motion Help for information on using Motion.
4 Choose File > Save As (or press Command-Shift-S), enter a name for this new transition
(referred to as a Template in Motion), assign it to a category (or create a new category),
choose a theme (if needed), and click Publish.
Note: If you choose File > Save, the transition is saved using the same name with
“copy” appended to its end.
Addandadjusttitles
Titles overview
Titles play a critical role in movies, providing important bookends (such as opening
titles and closing credits) and conveying time and dates within the movie. Titles,
especially in the lower third of the screen, are also used in documentaries and
informational videos to convey details about subjects or products onscreen. You can
also add notes and placeholders within your project while you edit. Subtitles can be a
critical element for movies originating in a dierent language.
You can create titles and credits within Final Cut Pro with title eects. Titles are
synthesized clips (similar to generators) generated by Final Cut Pro. Titles don’t refer to
any media on your hard disk. When you add a title as a connected clip directly above
another clip, the underlying clip appears as the title’s background, sparing you the
need to perform any further compositing to create that eect.
