TRAINING DESCRIPTION

Whether you want titles which are clean and simple, or highly formatted and animated, you can create them in Final Cut Pro X.

In this online video training, join master trainer, Larry Jordan, as he shows you how to create both simple and complex titles in FCP X. Learn how the formatting tools work, how to modify animation parameters, and how to use the “hidden-in-plain-sight” formatting styles toolbar.

As an added bonus, Larry will also show you how to create an info graphic in Motion 5 that can be accessed from Final Cut Pro X.

Specifically, you will learn:

• Which fonts to avoid, and which to consider, for titles
• Optimal drop shadow settings and why these are important
• How to quickly create, select, format, style, and modify title text
• How to quickly select, modify, and use generators as backgrounds
• How to search for and spell-check titles
• How to animate titles
• And much more.
