BLOXX - a free title generator

// dl, unzip and drag folder into ~/Movies/Motion Templates/Generators //

This is BLOXX, an easy to use Title-Generator. Because it creates its own background, it is no ‘Title’ but a Generator…

Watch the demo for its options…



After dragging it into your timeline, the Inspector shows the bells&whistles:



First section sets the virtual camera - Hight and Rotation are keyframe-able, so you can create animations.

Ambient allows to brighten/darken the scenery…

Then the title settings:
Floor and Text set the corresponding colors…

Be aware: sliders in FCPX are limited to ‘100’; to create a bigger font-sizes, type it or click’n drag into the number field.

Tracking allows to ‘tighten’ the characters, same with Line Spacing.
The text-block sits automatically on the floor, except when you add spaces or glyphs with descenders…

Some fonts work better, some less…just try!

Enjoy movie making!

Hi Karsten,

very well done. Congratulations!
Never created so far a soccer M5 template with camera movement hmm

bye the way just thought that during Xmas time 2016 you help me to set-up my fcp account. Thanks for that and your motivation.

well done. Just would include a Z scale publication to minimise the 3D effect but that's based on personal preferences

With 10.4 it is already built in, no need to publish. Take a good look at the Basic section of text adjustments section of the Inspector now.

with that argumentation why should we then publish at all ? ) prefer to have things in one place and window instead to think about where Apple defined to put parameters. But again a personal preference to ease workflow especially for new beginners who are not such familiar with fcpx

"with that argumentation why should we then publish at all ?"

Because the built-in parameters can not be keyframed, and the same parameters published can.
