Using LiveType Clips in Final Cut Pro HD
In Final Cut Pro HD, imported LiveType project files behave just like any other clips.
They can be organized within the Browser, opened in the Viewer, edited into
sequences, trimmed, copied, and pasted. LiveType clips maintain normal master and
affiliate clip relationships.

LiveType clips can be played back in Final Cut Pro HD like any other clip. However,
when edited into sequences, LiveType clips appear with a red render bar in the
Timeline, so you will have to render those portions of your sequence to play them
back.
