Having a bit of a problem I can't resolve here. When adding emoji to titles (I promise there is a good reason...), they never appear properly in both FCP X or iMovie.
In FCP, using them in the 'Basic' titles results in unsaturated, washed out emoji colour. Using in other titles result in no colour at all, the emoji are merely black and white.
Title opacity is full, blending mode is Normal, and font is Apple Color Emoji. Changing the Face colour doesn't change anything, but changing Face to a gradient fill results in the emoji silhouette being filled completely by the gradient.
I have tried in a new user account using the same FCP library and project to no avail.
At a total loss as to why this is happening, though have seen others having the same problem on the Apple Discussion Boards.
Using a 2011 MBP on Sierra, but this also happened on El Cap so I don't think it's a beta issue.
Any help much appreciated..!
EDIT: Didn't quite realise how apps like FCPX and iMovie handled the Apple Color Emoji font. Now I do... I've just extracted all the emoji as PNGs with a Ruby script and using them that way, seems to be the easiest solution for now.
