Larry Jordan's Final Cut Studio Tip of the Day

LiveType - Creating Text on a Curve


LiveType can easily create text on a curve. What isn't easy is figuring out how.

All text in LiveType sits on a blue baseline.

A flat, blue baseline.

However, getting the blue baseline to curve is easy - IF you know where to click and what to do.

  • Control-click the end dot of the baseline and select Curve In.
  • About an inch away from the end of the blue baseline a small blue dot will appear.
  • Grab the dot and drag it. As you do, the blue baseline will curve.
  • Ta-DAH!
