Remember that these colored backgrounds are aids only and will not show up in the final video. You will notice that the white background in the picture, below right, does not show the type because the color of the type is white as well. From the Menu bar select > View > Background > Color. To set our 'viewing aid' background make which ever window you will be working in active. Because we can set our type in any color we choose we will want a background color that will contrast with the type. They are only 'viewing aids' and will not show up on NTSC. These seven different backgrounds are artificial backgrounds.

If we place our text generator on V2 with a video clip beneath it on V1, the type that we set will be superimposed over our video allowing us to see both the type and the video together.Д«ecause all text generators have transparent backgrounds FCP offers us seven different backgrounds to choose from so that while working in the Viewer or Canvas windows we will be able to see our type. If we place a text generator on V1 in the Timeline the transparent background will default to black when viewed on NTSC or PAL. We work with all of the generators in about the same way.ДЄll FCP text generators have transparent backgrounds. Having said that, one of the new text generators, Outline Text, offers a large number of controls and new features.ДЄll six of the text generators that come with FCP have common attributes and share a number of controls. If I were to say that these text generators are pretty basic and underwhelming I don't think I would get much of an argument.

I know I am probably rambling now but I hope this helps. However as I said, it has no correlation to the FCP XML because one uses pixels and the other uses a screen ratio.

This will show you the pixel value matching what was entered in the text editor. To discuss the offset in the actual text setup file, you need to look for the Channel Translation. This new value in the XML gave me the correct colour but in a 16 bit colour space as opposed to FCP 8-bit. To fix this, I multiplied the 8-bit colour value by 16. But Smoke/Flame defaults to 16-bit colour so the mapped value from the XML gives you the wrong colour in Smoke/Flame.

So any colours are represented between 0 and 256. However FCP 7 has always worked on an 8-bit colour platform. When I looked at the colour values, there was actually something there. In terms of colour, I found that my text always came in black in Flame or Smoke. Bear in mind that each text set up may be different but keep an eye on this. So I set my leading value to 15 and that matched the auto-leading in FCP. I don't know why but it matched up.ДЄlso, if you use AUTO-KERN/LEADING in FCP, they will not come across into Smoke/Flame because it is just an auto switch in the XML and not an actual value. I found that ARIAL 18 in FCP is matched to ARIAL 50 in Smoke. When I import this into Smoke/Flame, it is almost identical but I adjusted the origin to 0.35 and it lined up correctly.ДЄs mentioned earlier, the font sizes are interpreted differently. So a lower third alignment is represented as 0.33333. This is displayed in a ratio rather than an actual pixel value. The positioning of the text in the XML is based on the origin parameter. So I am assuming the behaviour will be the same. The XML importer should be the same in concurrent versions of Smoke and Flame.Д¬urrent Flame is 2015 EXT 1 and Smoke is 2015 SP1 вЂ¦ So I suspect there are some improvements in the extension but it should not impact on this workflow.
