How to use Ripple Tools Complete 2.0

Step 1: Apply
Once installed with the FxFactory application, Ripple Tools Complete will appear in the Titles Browser and the Effects Browser in Final Cut Pro X. There are 35 titles templates organized into 6 themes and 2 effect templates. Templates with a checkerboard outline around them are trackable.

To add a Ripple Tools Complete title template to your project, either drag it over a clip or first select the clip range by pressing the X key (when the playhead is over the clip) and then press the Q key to perform a connect edit matching the selected range.

To add a Ripple Tools Complete effect, first duplicate your timeline clip on top of itself (Option-drag up or C to select, Command-C to copy, move the playhead to the start, Option-V to paste as connected clip), then drag the effect to the top clip. See the movie below for more information on using these effects.

Step 2: Modify

If the template is trackable and you want to track an object, first disable the effect, then run the tracker. Below is a video explaining how to track.
If text is involved, it can be edited in the Viewer and styled in the Text Inspector. All parameters for each template are available in the Title Inspector. Most can be animated with keyframes.
