Q: Changing Titles Background

Hi

 

I have a title created in Motion-5 and use it in FCPX.  It has a  JPEG file as back ground for the title.

I have imported more JPEG files with an idea to create Rig with a pop-up widget and assign one jpeg to each snapshot.

The basic idea is to change the backgrounds in FCPX.   But for some reason I could not succeed.

 

I have seen changing colors, animations etc using Rigs.  It this possible for the backgrounds also where the background is JPEG file.

 

I am currently having 30 titles each with a different jpeg background. 

Is that possible to make just one title  with a Rig containing 30 background files and then change them in FCPX

as needed.

 

Appreciate any help in this regard.

 

Thanks

sure it is, look:

step#1

put ALL 30 (that's a lot! here: three…) into your project.

in this example, for cosmetics, I made a Group 'background pix'

 

step#2

apply the slider Opacity of each pic to a drop-down Rig (here: 'selection')

step#3

in the Rigs Inspector, give each selection a name, and set all sliders to zero, except one.

 

=> in FCPX, you get a nice drop-down menu, offering each of your three ... thirty bg-pix

    Hi  Karsten

     

    Thanks for your tip.

    I have converted my 36 titles into just one title using the Rig pop-up widget.

    You're Welcome, Ravi!

     

    … that 'opacity 0/100%' scratches just the surface of rigging. The fun begins when you rig moving content, and what I'm actually learning is rigging keyframes, for instance for pre-set camera movements...

     

    glad to be helpful, enjoy movie making!
