how can I use Japanese words in FCPX titles?

It's a 2 part question really.


I'd like to use Japanese text in titles (alongside English) in a film about Tokyo.


Q1. How do I create the Japanese text, ideally with a choice of fonts?


Q2. The Japanese words - i.e. set of characters - will come from Google translate. Is there a cut and paste approach to this, or do I have to find all the individual characters?

Have you tried simply cutting and pasting? That should normally work here and in any other app where you can use the keyboard to type in text. I don't know about font choice, that will depend on the app.


If you want to actually type Japanese, Apple provides a whole system for that too.

Apple's Translate App should also do Japanese as well as Google. Here is what it produces, using select, control click, translate, for the previous sentence, copy/pasted : Appleの翻訳アプリは、Googleと同様に日本語も行うべきです。
