Enable/Disable Title In/Out effects for Lower Thirds

Hi,


I have been downloading a few templates for lower thirds. These templates give you many options but the majority do not provide an option to modify enable/disable the In/Out animation of a particular lower third. Sometimes I want the lower third to stay longer but the out animation plays a couple of seconds earlier and ruins the purpose when I want it to stay longer.


is there a way I can take it to motion and Publish the in/out parameter to any downloaded template?


Thanks!

This all depends on how the title was created.

Most are done in Motion.

If so, you should be able to control-click and choose Open in Motion.


The timing of the duration of a build-in or build-out animation is often determined by special Markers in the Motion project.

These are Build-In (Mandatory) or Build-In (Optional) (and similarly for Build-Out).

If there is a Build-In (Mandatory) marker at, say, 2 seconds in, this makes the duration of the build-in fixed at 2 seconds, regardless of how much the title duration is in your project.


The (Optional) variants work the same way, except that you get a checkbox in FCP and can deactivate the respective animation completely.


Here is a scheme of the Motion timeline with these Markers:




The problem you may be experiencing is probably to setting the total duration less than the sum of the build-in and build-out times...
