Killer Titles with Final Cut Pro - With Final Cut Pro

Whether they consist of simple opening titles and closing credits or elaborate motion graphics sequences, titles are an essential element in any video production.

Once the exclusive domain of specialised graphic artists, titling is now a function that editors are regularly required to perform.

This colorful book shows users how to master the techniques for creating a complete range of video titles - from routine credits to eye-catching title sequences - with the integrated software tools in the latest version of Final Cut Pro. "Killer Titles with Final Cut Pro" provides detailed instructions for LiveType and Calligraphy, two new specialised tools bundled within Final Cut Pro that can be used by editors to perform any level of titling from the routine to the extraordinary.

Full color illustrations present "best practice" examples of broadcast and corporate title design, and show how to utilise special effects such as LiveFonts, LiveObjects, system fonts, textures and the use of the Calligraphy tool in combination with LiveType Effects.

The first book to focus on professional quality titling in Final Cut Pro, it includes a companion DVD packed with templates and effects.
