project and add it to the sequence without needing to render it.

Using LiveType With Final Cut Pro

As with Motion, Final Cut Pro includes support for exchanging clips and sequences

between Final Cut Pro and LiveType. The applications are closely integrated so that,

when using LiveType and Final Cut Pro on the same computer, you have the option of

working with the LiveType project in both applications at the same time, without

having to worry about moving files between applications. Or, you can export clips for

someone else to use for creating advanced motion graphics while you edit, and then

import the LiveType project into your sequence when it’s ready.

Importing a LiveType Project Into a Final Cut Pro Project

Importing LiveType project files into Final Cut Pro eliminates the need to render a

QuickTime movie of your LiveType title each time you want to use it in Final Cut Pro.

To import a LiveType project into Final Cut Pro, do one of the following:

m Choose File > Import (or press Command-I) and select the LiveType project you want to

import into Final Cut Pro, then click Choose.

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 looks like any other clip in your movie. If

necessary, you can reconnect the media (in this case, the actual LiveType project file on

disk) to the LiveType project in your movie, just as you would for any other

Final Cut Pro clip. LiveType projects in Final Cut Pro can be organized within the

Browser, opened in the Viewer, edited into sequences, trimmed, copied, and pasted.

LiveType projects maintain normal master-affiliate clip relationships.

LiveType projects can be played back in Final Cut Pro just like other clips. However, when

edited into sequences, LiveType projects appear with a red render bar in the Timeline, so

you will have to render those portions of your sequence to play them back.
