can I animate text with keyframes in fcpx?
Since the versatile FCPX 10.2 seems to do everything else, I was frankly disappointed to realize that I can't animate and keyframe text with the xyz axis controls. I even called an Apple advisor who confirmed that it wasn't built into the application. All I want to do is to start with a title at a certain angle and proceed to have it turn to a different angle in the space of time (such as 3 seconds).
In these screen shots, the texts: "A Search for" and "Clean Power" are facing in opposite directions. In the animation I want, they end up both facing forward, like the text above them.
Is there a recommended 3rd party plug in that will do this? Again, am amazed Apple didn't include something so simple and basic, since you can move the text any which way along the axis, but you can't keyframe it! My old OS 9 NLE (Cinestream) could do it, and I think it was also available in LiveType for FCP Express. Does FCPX want me to buy and learn Motion? As it is, for a simple scrolling text, I found Manifesto, and downloaded that for free.
