You'd use a Title or a Generator to do that.

You can look for existing ones, or perhaps create your own, if you have Motion.

As a starting point, you look for the free titles available at one these places:

fcp.co

fcpxfree.com

Also, you may try just googling something like "fcpx title scoreboard" and see if something interesting pops up.

Hi Junyao,

… meanwhile … as a little finger exercise I built an AVP-clone, … <cough> sort-of…

< click to enlarge >

… have no clue of beach volleyball… google tells me, these players are the most famous ones in German... aha. (?)

The plug-in, if you want it (no worries, share my stuff for free) offers in the Inspector:

• a button to make the yellow arrow hop to the servicing team…
• scores
• an optional move-in of the Match' name (that yellow bar)
• and both teams names …

size&position probably need adjustments … to your needs.

If you like it, post here, add your enhancement requests and I'll post you some dropbox-link for dl

enjoy movie making 😀

in addendum to Luís excellent reply:

a no-budget solution is, use a 'paint' app of your choice (I prefer Pixelmator…have seen people using Keynote or abusing Excel! 😝) to create an empty template, and add content by using FC's own Basic Title(s) …

or…

for frequent, more professional use, create your own in Motion - your example doesn't demand a Nasa engineer 😉

'best' commercial Templates, imho, are at motionVFX - Original Home of Apple Motion Templates and Final Cut Pro X Plugins

but pricey…

finally:

find a helpful soui, who will tinker you a plugin… … late here, maybe tomorrow…

Moin Junyao,

… sorry - two Silverbacks in FC/Motion started to chat, forgetting to explain the basics:

you have downloaded the zip, and double-clicked it to un-zip, right?

Now you got a folder…

Next steps are a bit … annoying but … no that difficult:

http://www.fcp.co/forum/7-fcpx-how-to-tutorials/2323-faq-how-to-install-fcpx-plu g-ins

Here, Motion-Master Simon Ubsdell explains step-by-step, how to create correctly a Templates-folder on your Mac. When that is done, it is from now on just drag-and-drop … promised.

Glad you like Luís and my lil' graphic… 🙂

Ok, below is a link to my next iterarion on your template 😉

I added the following changes:

It is now possible to show zero, one, two or three sets.

This is, of course, governed by a second pop-up in the rig, with values 0,1,2,3.

The yellow triangle representing serving team can also be hidden (such as between the end of a set and the start of the next one). This is achieved by adding another snapshot to the Service pop-up (values are None,1,2).

Okay, so I just realized I have motion, do I use motion project, fc effect, fc title, fc generator or fc transition? And once I do, how do I merge them together?

Nonono , no need for Motion (only when you like to modify the generator)

This is a plug-in teaching your Final Cut new tricks…

No, just follow exactly the advice given by Simon:

create a new folder structure in your 'Movies' folder (follow precisely advice about naming scheme and that'.localized' item!!)

Then simply drag the unzipped folder into corresponding Generator folder.

For future use, to install other plugins, installing is a simple drag'n drop-finder operation…

… nothing to watch on TV…

so, here an animated bling bling version:

… Luís, that is pretty simple 😉

Thanks for the flowers, you know, I like 'challenges' ("can that be done in Motion??")

Meant to help Junyao, but also to demo, how easy and fast the combo of FC+M5 is… that is really done in less than 20min - und now any FinalCut 'seat' can install it and use it - you save tons of time, it gives your reports a pro look and it is fail-safe to use… (…mostly). Finally, any changes can be done in minutes…

… and it's fun to make 😉

Excellent enhancements, Luís … combined forces, so-to-speak 😁

Maybe tomorrow I'll add some 'bling' to … asks for some animations! LOL

Karsten, that is pretty cool!

It's fun, indeed!

I would like to try it, if you can post it.

There are a few more things one could implement, and having your present version to work on would be a great starting point.

Great!

Thanks.

I will report back with my enhancements 😊
