Motionvfx - mTitle Cinematic — Mac download

Runs on any Mac with macOS 10.14.4, Motion 5.4.3, or Final Cut Pro 10.4.6.

Browse the set

Fifty titles sit inside the Titles browser, organized for quick scanning. Each one keeps a horizontal aspect ratio, so framing stays consistent across cuts.

Place and adjust

Drag a title onto the timeline, then tweak duration and position. The controls keep things simple—no nested menus, just direct parameter edits.

Refine the look

A credit-roll workflow from blank timeline to final frame

Start with a locked picture. Drop the timeline playhead at the first black frame after your final shot, then open the Titles browser and locate the Cinematic Credits preset—it is built for slow vertical scrolls with a weight that reads well against dark backgrounds.

1. Drag the title onto the timeline above your video track. Stretch its duration to match the length of your music sting or voiceover outro.
2. Double-click the title text block in the viewer. Paste your cast and crew list, using line breaks to separate roles. The preset respects hard returns as new credit lines.
3. Open the inspector. Under Published Parameters, set the scroll direction to Up and reduce the speed until a single name takes roughly two seconds to cross centre screen—somewhere around 18–22 on the slider for a twenty-name list.
4. Add a slight feather to the top and bottom edges using the Fade Edge control. A value of 12–15% softens entries without making text look out of focus.
5. Choose a condensed sans-serif from your library. The animation engine respects font metrics, so tighter letterforms produce cleaner motion blur during the scroll.
6. Render a short preview. If names feel rushed, stretch the title duration rather than slowing the scroll parameter further—keeping the scroll parameter in its mid-range avoids stutter on export.

Drag a title onto a gap to auto-trim to fit

Dragging a title directly onto a gap above the primary storyline auto-creates a connected clip with the same duration as the gap. When you are building a layered opener over B-roll, this saves the step of manually trimming.

Pressing Control-T with a title clip selected jumps straight to the text field in the inspector. No clicking through collapsed sections—handy when you are auditioning alternative phrasing across multiple takes.

Holding Option while dragging a title from the browser duplicates the last-used parameter values. If you have already dialled in a specific colour grade and scale on one opener, every subsequent pull inherits those settings.

The mTitle Cinematic templates store their animation curves in the Motion template file itself. You can add a single keyframe to any published slider in Final Cut Pro without breaking the underlying behaviour—useful for ramping a slow fade-out during the final two seconds of a bumper.

The package registers all 50 titles under a single category in the Titles sidebar. To keep things tidy, favourite the eight or ten you return to most often. Right-click any preview tile and select Add to Favourites in the Motion Templates folder view.

No Motion required unless you edit source templates

Does this need Motion installed, or just Final Cut Pro? The templates run inside Final Cut Pro using its built-in title engine. You only need Motion if you plan to open and edit the template source files themselves. Day-to-day use inside FCP requires no extra software beyond the versions listed.

Will these slow down an older Mac? The animations lean on Final Cut Pro's Metal-based renderer, so performance depends more on your timeline resolution and colour processing settings than on the plug-in itself. Editors on Intel machines with 8 GB of RAM report smooth playback at 1080p and acceptable scrubbing at 4K, provided background rendering is enabled.

Can I use custom fonts without jumping into Motion? Yes. Every title exposes its typeface selection as a published parameter. Any font active in Font Book appears in the inspector dropdown, and the animation routine recalculates tracking and kerning automatically when you switch families.

Where exactly do the files live after copying? The folder path is /Users/username/Movies/Motion Templates/Titles. If the Motion Templates folder does not exist yet, create it manually—Final Cut Pro scans the Titles subfolder each time the app launches.

Adjust typeface, colour, and scale from the inspector. The animations carry a dramatic, cinematic weight that holds up against high-contrast footage.
