Question by d.s.b: How do you make a Dynamic Link between Final Cut Pro and After Effects CS4?
I am using Final Cut for video editing and I want to import text that I make in After Effects. I have been exporting the sequence from AE and that works fine, but it’s such a pain and it takes up so much space on my computer!

Does anyone know of a way to link FCP and AE so that I can import the AE project directly into FCP like you can do with Premiere?

Thanks!

You should ask this question on the Creative Cow (FCP and AEP) forums. Don’t waste your time waiting here. That forum is specifically for these questions.

I never use the two apps that way so I am not sure how you would do it or if it’s possible. Usually, apps only work that way if they are from the same company.

You can do it all with Premiere. Whatever you do don’t use movie maker unless you want all your hard work to be lost cause the program “crashes” all the time. With that said, you can add music in the audio channel of premiere and adjust the volume in the the sound effects tab to control when the music turns on and off. You can use the Title tab to create some “lower thirds” and scrolling text. Just make sure it is on a separate video layer above your main footage. You might get “cooler” lower thirds by using After Effects to create them and import them into Premiere, but you can definitely do it all in premiere. Hope that helps.

Question by Larry M: Does anyone know of a good tutorial for making light burst text effect using Macromedia Fireworks Mx?
I have looked all over the net and the tutorials I have found seem to ask for the use of certain filters that my program doesn’t have to complete the project. (such as a noise filter and a blur zoom)
Thanks in advance for any help !

fireworks isn’t that strong of a graphics editor, and I think most of the graphics you can create are vector shapes. I could be wrong in this, but either way if you are interested in creating graphics, you should look into a raster graphics editor. Photoshop is standard, but expensive. Gimp is free, but less can be done with it, and it’s a little harder to learn. Then again both are really hard to learn, there are just more tutorials for photoshop. Good luck.

And Fireworks was originally used to do quick mock ups and prototypes, not full fledged web design. It just isn’t that good.

You can make a logo on photoshops and just paste it on your video by altering the original logos.
