Text line spacing problem in FCPX

Question

Text line spacing problem in FCPX

Every time I adjust the line spacing to anything other than 0 like say 14, when I relaunch FInal Cut X it resets the parameter to 0 and all the the text clips that I had adjusted the spacing are now showing up unrendered and reset to 0 after relaunching FCPX, they were rendered before I quit. If I then go to the unrendered text clip and reset the line spacing to 14 again, the unredered clip gets replaced by the already previously rendered text clip that I had rendered before I quit the app and reattaches itself to the timeline. I read the new update 10.0.2 fixed a problem with the font reseting itself after relaunching to the default, but aparently they did not fix the line spacing issue doing the same thing. It's a huge pain seeing I am editing 200 instructional videos. I already filed a a report to apple feedback. Hope they fix this and soon. Would love to here if others are or are not having the same issue.

Looks like inserting a key frame for the line spacing may fix the issue of it changing... will report back in a bit.

Yea running 10.7.2 thanks for the reply. Going to try and not use spacing as much as I can but inserting a key point may help it stay put but not sure yet.

Same problem here—really annoying. Thanks for the keyframe trick; I'll have to try that.

This again is part of the title bug where the titles revert to default or the postion goes to default after you quit and reopen FCPX. Only thing to do is send Apple more feedback and hope someone is paying attention. This problem was created in 10.0.1 and not fixed in 10.0.2. About the only thing you can do now is never quit until you have shared a project.

This is a very interesting idea, and I can see how it might work. I am trying it right now (same issue)...

...and it appears to have worked. Great idea! Thanks!
