Overshoot Text is a set of 3 simple, yet deceptively powerful text effects for FCP X. Animate multi or single line text with customizable, horizontal, vertical, or scale overshoots. So simple yet so useful. Everyone should have this in their FCP X toolkit.

With Overshoot Text you can control:
Overshoot amount
Number of bounces
What to animate: Line, Word, Character or All
Shoot (animate from) direction
Overlap (spread) of animated lines, words or characters
Animation start opacity

Controls
Some parameters are unique to the scale, horizontal, or vertical plugins/presets and are noted as such in parenthesis.

Global Scale
The scale of the entire effect as a whole.  

Overshoot Amount
The scale of the overshoot. 

Bounces
The number of times it overshoots past the final location of the text.

Animate (Horizontal & Vertical)
Animate by line, word, character, or all text at once.

Animate (Scale Plugin & Presets)
Animate by line, word, character, or all text at once in a variety of combinations.  The scale plugin is unique in that it contains two parameters. The first parameter determines what element is going to be scaled (line, word, character or all). And the second determines the grouping, which is also line, word, character or all.  For example, “word by word” animates each word individually, a word at a time.  But “word by line” animates each word individually, but a whole line of words at a time. Selections marked 3D scale from a singular “shoot” point based on the entire composition.

Direction (Horizontal)
Right to Left or Left to Right starting direction of the animation.

Direction (Vertical)
Up or Down starting direction of the animation.

Shoot From (Scale)
The point that scale plugin elements (line, word, character or all) scale from.

Reverse Direction (Scale)
Reverse from scaling up to scaling down.

Overlap
The maximum number of elements (lines, words, or characters) animating at any given time.

Start Opacity
The opacity at the start of the effect.  100 essentially disables any fade in at all.
