Q: How do you create transparent text with black background in LiveType for use in Final Cut??
I would like to bring in movies or projects from LT that have transparent text ("alpha" layer?) and a solid background. The goal is to layer fcp video under the animated text generated in LT so that the video layer fills the transparent text layer. I know you can matte to movie or image in LT, but would prefer to do this in FCP. Long story short, need a text transparency from LT. Thanks!
