The last two days I've been working on a new Reason To Give video as part of Dawn's upcoming speaking engagement (when Charlie's not at the helm, I rock most of our edits in Final Cut Express). One thing that's always annoyed me was FCE's inability to see all the versions of a font when using the app's native text generators. Sure, the typeface is there and you can apply FCE's bold and italics but when you're using a Postscript face like Sauna (Reason To Give's font), it only let's you type in plain Sauna and it forces you to use ALL-CAPS. Super glitchy, right? Looking around for a solution I learned this problem effects Final Cut Pro too. Seriously, Apple—WTF? Thankfully, I found a great, free plugin on Alex4D that fixes all of Final Cut's typographic shortfalls.
While I've got DV on my mind, I'll point you to a link Charlie sent me a few weeks ago. It's Kutiman's ThruYou site—absolutely mind blowing editing. So good!
