animate text that begins off the stage

Trying to flow some text from one side of the stage to the other. On the first frame the text it outside the stage area. On the last frame it's outside the stage area on the other side. This doesn't want to work with the simple Transform method as the text gets cut off. For the life of me I can't make the Show Video Animation gizmo work and the manual is not informative.


Can anybody help?


This question is about Final Cut trial on a desktop Mac Mini

It seems to me that the problem is the text itself is just too big for the frame. Using the Transform in this case is not going to help.


Are you using the Basic Title? Do you have Motion?

If you open a copy in Motion, you can select the text, and Publish the Offset parameter. Then in FCP you can keyframe the offset to obtain an effect similar to the one below. If you don't have Motion, I can send you a copy of this modified title.
