I am literally going to throat punch my computer.
I'm new to Final Cut, and thus I am not savvy, but what I have in my head for my projects APPARENTLY are not easy to do, which makes me have more respect for editors.
Onward to my question.
I have used the Pixie Dust transition, and flipped it so that the dust is coming from the right hand side instead of the left. That in turn has made the text upside down. How do I get the text to flip back to the right side up position without reverting the dust to the original entry?
Please. Help. Me. Now.
I'm so beyond frustrated.
Thank you in advance.

Technically the correct way to do this is to open a copy of the title in Motion and fix the copy the way you like it, but you can probably cheat it in FCP. Put two copies of Pixie Dust in the timeline, one on top of the other. Put the one with the right to left pixie dust on top and erase the upside down text. On the layer underneath put the text with the words you want. In the Title inspector switch off the Build In function to get rid of the pixie dust. In the Video inspector keyframe the crop function to wipe across the screen as the right to left pixie diet moves across.
