Hey everybody,

I looked everywhere but I can't find it. I am using text in a project in Final Cut Pro, using the normal text application in the program. In a name of a place I need the two dots on the letter o (don't know the name of it), but I can't find a way to do it. Anybody knows how?

Cheers Niels

Hi Niels,

Try copy/pasting the following letter into Boris Title 3D : ö

Hope this helps.

Also check that out:

It's also accessible through SystemPreferences->RegionalSettings->KeyboardMenu
(I'm guessing the english names of these items)
