Previewing and Fully Rendering Your Titling Movie

Making Changes to a LiveType Movie from Final Cut Pro

If you have imported a LiveType movie into Final Cut Pro and need to make a change,
you can make the change in LiveType and have it update in Final Cut Pro.

To make changes to a LiveType movie already imported into Final Cut Pro:

1

Select the LiveType clip in the Final Cut Pro Timeline.

2

Control-click the clip, then choose > Open in Editor from the shortcut menu.

LiveType opens with the movie ready for adjustment.

3

In LiveType, make any changes you want, then choose File > Save.

The change immediately updates in Final Cut Pro.

Note: You will have to re-render any changes that you have made within Final Cut Pro.

Rendering a LiveType Movie for Export

When working with a third-party application, you will need to render your movie
within LiveType prior to importing it.

To render a full-resolution movie of your project for export:

1

Choose File > Render Movie.

2

Choose a filename and location in the Save dialog, then click “Create new movie file.”

3

Just as with preview movies, LiveType requests that you install any missing LiveType
Data files. Do one of the following:

 Select “Install missing LiveType Data now.”

This allows you to install LiveType media files to a location other than the LiveType
Data folder, but still access them to render previews and final movies. See “

Managing

LiveType Media Files

” on page 29 for instructions.

 Select “Use Poster Frames for Tracks with missing Data.”

Note: By default, a QuickTime movie with an alpha channel is created in the Animation
codec. If another codec is preferred, use the options from File > Export Movie instead.
