Hi, I just found a very useful tip via creative cow's final cut forum. Unfortunately I don't seem to be able to post there so I will pass it on here. Someone wanted to globally change a font size in a project, someone else suggested doing it via xml and I found a useful link via google... [www.kenstone.net] I tried this and it works! Search for <value>40</value> if 40 is your font size and change all to, say... <value>20</value> save and import and all the text has changed. Might be handy for all sorts of changes. Kudos to Ken Stone.
Regards, Matt.

As far as XML font changes, you might also look at VideoToolShed's SubBits and FCP Text Generator plug-in.

This could also be done with xm|Edits' Traffic, but I'm not sure they are still developing this or even still in business.

Of course, I'd be remiss if I didn't mention Martin's own AutoMotion. Not XML changes, but rather changes via Motion templates.
