hi:

seemingly simple thing, which i have no idea how to do in X.

how do i create a bullet point to use on text slides? i see nothing in the text tool box like this...only a one or two very limited templates.

seems like a lot of hassle to create a jpeg image and use this each time...

There are a few animated bullet point titles in FCP. If they don't work you, you might need copy one into Motion and hack it to suit you, or build your own animation from scratch in Motion.

All the best,

Tom

There are also some default Mac symbol characters you could use -- for example, • (OPTION-8). Call up Keyboard Viewer on the top right, then hold down various modifier keys (eg. OPTION, SHIFT-OPTION) to see the characters available.

thanks for the ideas. i'm not experienced enough with motion to do it there.

derek: what is the keyboard viewer? not familiar with this...can you provide a screenshot? this sounds like my best option...

I'm creating such a custom title template at the moment. When done I'll be posting it on my web site for free. Contact me with any ideas you have for it.
