Live Type and FCS3
by Christopher Wright on Aug 31, 2009 at 3:38:33 am

Well here is the good and bad news about Live Type and FCS3:
If you do an "upgrade" to FCS3, LiveType is still there. If you do a fresh install, LiveType disappears totally. Apple states that all LiveType functions have moved to Motion. This is half true. LiveFonts have moved to Motion, and that's it. The text behaviors, many of which Motion did not have, are gone. The motion background loops are totally gone. The graphic elements are totally gone, as are the really awesome templates. LiveType has some great templates that Motion sorely lacks. With a fresh install of FCS3, they're gone, completely vanished.

Question, because I haven't upgraded yet, have you tried installing JUST LiveType from your FCS 2 discs yet? I use LT all the time and don't wanna loose it!

No I have not. Contrary to much of the advice given on the Cow, I have always done the "upgrade" install (versus completely wipe system drive and do a clean install) with all the FCP and the Apple OS upgrades I have ever used and have never had any problems at all. Go for it! Let me know if it works for you.

Tony:

I got a new iMac and installed FCS 3. After that I used my FCP 5 disc to install Live Type 2 and had no problems doing so. You should be able to install Live Type 2 from your FCS 2 install disc with no problems.
