Why does FCP alighn text in the center?!? Can't Post
I am creating an educational video which uses bullet points in a powerpoint type approach. When I select my text to align to the left it starts the align on the center line, which means once it gets to the end of the screen I can no longer see the text...what gives? Any suggestons how to fixc this?

Nevermind, I found the origin button...what a pain.

What are you using for your text pages? If you are using the built in "Title 3D", you just have to set Word Wrap to "Wrap".

Hey Bill,

Have you considered creating the bullet points in another application such as photoshop? May be easier than witing FCP.

No, I was using the generic text maker in FCP.

Yea, I started doing them in PS but I am making 39 slides and it just began to take too long. The funny thing is after doing this I am thinking I am not going to use many of the text slides anyway...way to boring. I was also thinking of just doing it in Keynote and then exporting it to QT and then importing it into FCP, text looks soooo sharp in Keynote, I am a big fan of that app.
