Latex Plug-In for Final Cut Pro

Hi peeps,


Does anyone know of a plug-in for FCP that allows the use of LaTex for equations?

I doubt it. However, you can use Pages.


Go to the Insert dropdown and select Equation:


Example:


x= \frac{-b

\pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}


Click Insert.


Use Command-Shift-4 to do a selection screen capture and you can import the image into FCP. Result:



Be sure to set your font and font size before capture in Pages.


That's about as close as I've been able to find... On the upside: Pages is free.

If you aren't using it already, try LaTeXiT.

Rather than having to do a full LaTeX document, you can type just the code for the formula you want, and copy it or save as png, potentially with better quality than a screenshot, and including transparency - which a screenshot won't provide. You can adjust size and color of your formula directly in LaTeXiT.

I figured as much... There was some *funky* "security" update for mojave (pegasus??) awhile back -- it screwed up several things INCLUDING color pickers in Final Cut Pro and Motion. Since then I've had to use the System Color Picker in order to change colors... :P When I run into a problem like this... that's what I blame.
