JUST LOADED THEM ONTO MY MAC. READ SOME TUT'S LAST NIGHT ON FCP AND AM NOW READING SOME ON LIVE TYPE. IT SAYS I NEED TO LOAD MORE DATA INTO THE PROGRAM? BASICALLY THE LIVE TYPE DATA FOLDER FOR LIVE FONTS/TEXTURES/OBJECTS. ANYONE GOT THESE FILES OR GOT ANY ADVISE? MUCH APPRECIATED.

 I just read part of the pdf. I'll finish it up when I got time. I actually think you can make those live fonts just as good but not sure.

Editing is a piece of cake though. I basically learned it and edited a segment in one day. The slow mo
controls are kind of silly but I got thru it and it don't look like it's my first edit ever. It's fun and I hope
to be messing around with FCP more soon. Thanks yall!

don't stress with live type its a template based font editor that gives cheesy text effects with no real cinematic appeal.  If you want good customizable text effects use motion or after effects.
