Best way to create Titles within FCP7 that you can batch modify?

Hi,

What is the best way to create a bunch of titles (subtitles to be precise) within FP7, so that I can easily change them all if necessary?

I might end up with a hundred plus titles, they will all look the same (font, color, size), and I'd like to be able to modify them all if need be. So FCP7 built in text tool is out as it can't do that.

I might also need to add a black outline to the text...so Boris? TitleExchange (although I haven't had much luck with this one in the past)? Maybe some other plug in?

Thank you

No way – except you use or create a Motion template and change that for your needs on customer request

That's not a lot ;-)

As said above use/create a Motion template.

For subtitles Boris is NO option.
Try Outline Text – but it won't help to change all subs with a click.
You also could use TextUp witch is automatically installed with TitleExchange. It fits the needs for subtitling way better than any of the generators which come along with FCP. But also this one (as all of the available generators) won't allow to batch change styles.

So again use/create a Motion template.

Read the the help file carefully and it will work.

Here "another again" use/create a Motion template.
