FCP Plug in for Sports Footage

I shoot youth soccer and want to incorporate the time elapsed, score and team logos in the upper left corner as is done with professional teams on TV (see attached image). I have been unable to find a plug-in for FCP that would enable me to do this, and I would appreciate any recommendations. I own FCP X and Motion 5.2.2. Thank you.

Me too! Every godd*** saturday ... :lol:

For each season, I make my own 'screen design', so I have a Theme in FCPX, containing all sorts of generators and titles and effects, to be used in my weekly reports...

To create such a score bar is no rocket science:
I'v applied a 'generic' title plug-in, to demo a few simle features.



when you open it, you see several groups:
bg is the background...
group is the 'bar' with all elements, ready to be scaled, to put in position (upper left, lower mid), and being a group, you can apply some 'flying in', or fade-in, or ...

There's a 'bar', a green bg for the score, two rectangles for the team colors (=could be replaced by drop-zones, to insert team logos) ...

Just to demo options:
a glint effect, to create some 'action'
and corncerning 'time': it is very tricky to squeeze the source time out of the clips and into some custom title, I found for my needs a tricky workaround, … the easy way: type it in
and I applied a 'mandatory built-in marker' => when you stretch the title, the animations keep their timing
the time pop-ups - a rig switches on/off

In FCPX, you see the published parameters:



hint: when a goal happens, click opt/alt and drag the title => all settings, such as team colors, are same, just change the score...

this generic plugin has little design, meant as a starting point for your own creations ...

Thanks a lot! Looks like I didn't search very hard for my plug-in.

I sure appreciate your detailed response. I viewed a couple of your games on YouTube. Very nice indeed. I will give it a shot.
Thanks again.

Glad you liked it, you're Welcome!

Such a 'score bar‘ is an excellent exercise to get comfortable with the features of M5 (if you are'n already); for earlier projects, I used Pixelmator to 'paint' that bar, and saved it in .psd format. In M5, I'm then allowed to import all layers as singled group.. so, the 'animated' parts (here: digits) are created with M5 tools, the design parts are plain jpg/png.

e.g. those 'aqua bubble reflections' as in your example are much easier to accomplish in a designated paint.app than in M5 ... 'staple' groups: background.jpg, 0:0 Motion text/title, aqua-bubble as .png and 'screen' as compo mode =>




In Pixelmator, two layers, the blue bubble and on top the 'refractions'



importing both layers in M5, I put the digit layer inbetween... publishing it = nice title plug-in...
