Q: Importing FCPXML that contains a text generator, not respecting alignment
Hello, I apologize if this question is not in the right forum.
I am trying to use generators in FCPX to handle heavy amounts of text generation. The problem i am having is that when I export an FCPXML of a project and then import as a new project the alignment property of the text generator is not being respected and defaults to "left alignment"
Steps to reproduce.
1. Use a generator in an existing project by dragging in from Generators Browser
2. Add text (Alignment is correct "right" align)
3. Export FCPXML - sample code below. (looks good right?)
<video name="Web Backgrounds" offset="0s" ref="r2" duration="2402400/120000s" start="86486400/24000s">
<param name="Blue Background" key="9999/28069/100/28328/2/100" value="1"/>
<video name="KC Testing" lane="1" offset="86486400/24000s" ref="r3" duration="2402400/120000s" start="86486400/24000s">
<param name="Position" key="9999/1999674054/1999673404/1/100/101" value="742.7 348.3"/>
<param name="Alignment" key="9999/1999674054/1999673404/2/354/3000006850/401" value="2 (Right)"/>
<param name="Text" key="9999/1999674054/1999673404/2/369" value="This is a test of right alignment"/>
</video>
4. Import the FCPXML as a new project
5. When imported FCPX does not view the text from the generator as "Right" aligned it shows up in the project as "Left" aligned.(See Pics below)
This is hard because some of my text can get long and would prefer it not to go off screen on the right hand side.
Thank much for any help.
