There are placeholder generators in both iMovie and Final Cut Pro (Generators > Elements > Placeholder). You can build individual (4-5 second) clips and export as .mov files, then import them into FCP for iPad(?*).

If you can install 3rd party fonts and you'd be interested, let me know. I'll let you have it for free. All I ask in return is: you tell me how you got it installed on the iPad and if, and how, it works in Final Cut for iPad.

If you're not interested... never mind.

[*I, personally, am NOT going to pay an annual fee to be able to add products like this font to the App Store.]
