BUMP-IN - a free title plug-in for FCPX

// download, un-zip and drag folder into ~/Movies/Motion Templates/Titiles //

IMPROVED version 1.2 avail, see attached zip

Ok, this is a more funny one, … but an excellent exercise what’s possible in Motion, here for example, I ‘pimped’ the usual OSC with some red line. Have a look:



An OnScreenController sets the position where the additional word will drop in and divide the text.
Don’t forget to switch that divider off, otherwise you have a red line in your title!

This is more a version 0.9, I would prefer a more cartoonish animation, the text gets squeezed and ‘springs’ out of the way… maybe in a future version, me lazy…

Feel free to modify, post your modded versions here…

Enjoy movie making!

Tip to make a couple of small changes to add a little animation:

Extend the two 'Link New Xpos' behaviors so they start a couple of frames before the insert word moves. Then change the 'Mix Over Time' to 'Ease in' and change the 'Mix Time Range' to 5.0:

Here's a couple of screenshots showing what I mean.

Hi Alex,

THANK YOU for chiming in and your improvements - instantly built in, plus, I added a lil' dose of Motion Blur…

btw:
That's what so great with the Final-Cut community - that 'bouncing ideas' to make things better. Big fun!

oh, and thanks for mentioning my lil' Motion exercise on your Twitter account.

Thank you both for sharing this! I'll see if I can put this to good use
