Editing organazized is giving away a few plugins that solve the issue of certain fonts and font weights not being made available in Final Cut Pro’s title generators. This has cropped up many times for me in various projects, and generally forces me to use the Boris Title3D plugin for titles. For instance, FCP’s built in text generator doesn’t allow you to use the Gill Sans “Light” weight choice. And Gill Sans “Plain” and “Bold” look like garbage. Title3D is fine in most situations, but a bit clunky to use. This free font plugin alternative, while not perfect, may solve your font irritations.

Another free plugin that looks useful is Andy’s Basic Text plugin. It pulls text from a RTF document, so there’s potential for non-editors to get involved in titling heavy lifting. Get it here.
