Final Cut - Text moves when exported

The problem is: this title's text wasn't designed to be resized, wasn't designed for any other aspect ratios than 2.0: 1, 4:3 and 16:9.

Even if you're using any one of those aspect ratios, the sizes of the text paragraph margins are ***rigged*** to specific sizes. Although Final Cut will allow for editing those margins in the Viewer - rigged or not - when you export the title, those Rigged margins are reset (depending on the snapshot) upon rendering.

By the way - this title also breaks in FCPX 10.4.10...

No, this a textual representation of your project. It contains only the structure, not the actual media.

You create one with

File->Export XML...

and this produces a file with extension .fcpxml or .fcpxmld

depending on version.

You could zip this file, send it to yourself using wetransfer and then post the link you receive here.

(it will probably be deleted soon after, be we'd still get the link in the e-mail notification)

But perhaps you could start be showing more of the timeline. It seems that you have the presenter clip,

then the title below and another one that is not visible in the screenshot.

I stripped out the snapshots rigging... so the project is "fixed" at 16:9.

Give this a try:

If you need help installing it:

Would it be possible to share an xml of that project?

Thank you.

I downloaded your files and tested in both 10.8 and 10.7.1.

In both cases, the output was different from what is seen in FCP.

AFAICT, the behavior was identical in both versions - except that for me it appears that the exported file was the correct one...

Here is what I see in FCP - text is cut off on the left:

And here is what I get from exporting the current frame - text now appears in its entirety.

I also tried it with 10.6.5 and here the results are slightly different: the output does match what is seen in FCP, but is different both what I see in 10.7.1 and 10.8, and from their exported images.

In FCP 10.6.5 it looks like this (note that "Name" appears, whereas in the other versions it did not!):

If you have already downloaded the fixed replacement title, you can ignore this. If not, for about the next four hours (until 2 - 2:30 a.m. PT 07/25/24), my site will be offline — it's being moved to a new server. Just letting you know.

(please ignore)
