How to prevent titles from linking to the background?

Hi

Delete or turn off the title background. The title background is a placeholder that is used to act on the media just as you have explained. Otherwise, if you need the title background to be for there any reason, in FCP, make the title a compound clip and the title background will not act on the media below, but from what I see you in your project, looks like you can just use the first method.

Thank you for posting the title.

I have experimented a bit. The result is really good, great work!

I now understand how you needed the Title Background to make a clone, too. It seems to be the correct solution.

The problem remains that if you want to move the text, in some way - being through and effect, or through the Transform tool, it will, inevitably also affect the title background.

The only way I see forward is to enrich your Title by adding some build-in and build-out in the Motion template itself.

Then how to give the title this glass effect?

Currently the text acts as a mask for the background, which is blurred with a gaussian blur (+ brightness adjustments if you see the screenshot)

Maybe I'm doing it wrong but currently the background is necessary for my effect to work.

Also, let me clarify something, I told you guys that I needed to keyframe the text to make it simple.

In reality I'm gonna apply an effect for a specific movement.

I tried to open this effect in motion to somehow combine it directly with my glass title but I just abandoned because it was too complicate for me.

Thanks again for your help!!!

I told you how you can move the text and keep the background: publish the text Position.

Do you need the image to accompany the text? As it is, you are moving the whole title - meaning the whole Motion template - so naturally everything moves.

Unless there is a reason for it, you could avoid the drop zones and add the actual video in the FCP timeline, and have the title comprise only the text.

Or, if you need both the text and the drop zone, but want them to adjust separately, you can publish the Position of the text; then it can be controlled in FCP from the Title browser. For a more sophisticated interface, you might then add an onscreen control to the text.

Once you add a title or generator to your timeline, it is like a clip.

Whatever effect you apply to your title is going to also affect the title background, if you have it (or the drop zones).

The only way to separately affect different constituents of a title, or generator, is via its published parameters.

Is it crucial for the visual look you want that the clip behind the text gets blurred?

Would it be possible to share this template? I would not mind experimenting to see if I can come up with a solution.

If you like, send it to yourself using wetransfer, and post the link here. It will be deleted, but we still get it in the e-mail notification.

Kill off the drop zone.
