It's an issue with importing from iMovie

Sorry, It wasn't a text generator. I sent the project from iMovie to FCP and added 3D text in the text inspector. The text imported from iMovie had a fade in and out. The imported text from iMovie is editable in the FCP text inspector, but there are no opacity settings to adjust or in the compositing: opacity in the clip. Also there are no dissolve transitions.

I had used Custom 3D text elsewhere in my project, so didn't realize these were imported text from iMovie. I've recreated the text with native FCP titles to remove the fade i/out.

I tried it with the basic Text - Centered in iMovie. When the project was sent, if you go to the Title inspector you can switch off/uncheck Build In and Build Out.

Custom 3D doesn't have a fade in or out. Do you mean some other title? If controls for fade in/out are available they're in the Title inspector, at the left end of the various inspectors.
