Appendix A. Introduction to LiveType

LiveType is a special-effects titling application that comes bundled with Final Cut Pro 5. It allows editors with minimal motion graphic experience to create high-quality, animated titles and graphics for importing into their Final Cut Pro sequences. In the past, if editors wanted to include animated titles and graphics in their sequences, they would hire a motion graphic artist or spend hours building complex animations. LiveType simplifies the process by providing prekeyframed effects that can be customized quickly and easily.
