i'm always impressed, how many people do use a 1k$ pro tool without any idea HOW to use it....-

the way i would do it with my elements prgs:
make your title in photoshop (elements); import it; set e keyframe; move in the timeline a few frames further; move the grafic; set a keyframe; repeat....

i ment to say before i do not want to have to go threw and spend all that time moving the picture a little each time. isn't thier an effect like v-hold/h-hold that i can just set to make it shake instead of moving it myself? seems like such an awful hassle to make such a simple effect.

There is probably a few AfterEffects plugins that are compatible with FCP that could do that easilly. But you have to realise that the more pro you will want to go, the more you will have to get your hands dirty and manually program keyframes. That's the only difference between a Pro App and a consumer App. You can do everything manually and achieve that custom look that doesn't feel like you just slapped a plugin.

Besides, for your title effect, it will take you so much less time to do thoses little keyframes, than to find, install and figure the plugin that can do it. We are talking of 10 minute job.
