Sports Video Graphics

[wilsonhvx]

Hey Guys,
I'm editing a highlight video for my high school football team from last season. I'm still in the process of editing and I'm wanting to add a text effect to my video. Some of the lyrics in the song I have are "We won't break, We won't die" and I'd like to throw them up on the video but in a neat way, perhaps using motion. I have very little experience with motion though. If anyone could tell me what to do, send me a tutorial, or just point me in the right direction, that be great!

Thanks!

-Wilson

What version of final cut pro and motion do you have?

Have you worked with some of the text templates and behaviors in Motion?

I'm running FCP 6. I haven't upgraded yet to 7.
I've messed around with them, but just enough to say I have.

This guy usually has some good tutorials on various things. I have learned some great stuff from his videos.

I like to watch other peoples motion graphics demo reels becuase they usually spark some inspiration. I see a cool effect that I like and then I try to put a different spin on it.

Thanks for the link. I agree, about seeing stuff that sparks interest, that's very true.
