  BG: Adjustment Layers in FCP X

  “BG Global Domination”

  This is an FCP X “Adjustment layer” preset made from a title preset.

  Slightly tongue in cheek name…but never mind 😉

  Download FCP X Adjustment Layer: BG Global Domination

  Apply this preset over your entire edit above all other layers to give you:

  – Timecode generator with choice of position, size and invert colours
  – Broadcast Safe filter with reduce luminance, reduce saturation and reduce both saturation and luminance (something which can’t be done with standard broadcast safe filter)
  – Custom Letterbox control with optional border, border size and border colour
  – Rescale and reposition the video within the letterbox area.
  – Apply a global colour tint (with intensity controls)
  – RGB levels controls for that final tweak on your already perfect colour grade 😉

  Cheers,

  Hats off to your relentless quest to make the ultimate, essential, Swiss Army Knife, make-the-tea-while-you’re-at-it FCPX Effect!

  I don’t know about what you think…but glaring omissions aside with FCP X, but the way people like yourself and many others have been able to extend the functionality of X with motion rigging within just a couple of months has to be one of the high points of a…ummm…. rocky start to life for FCP X.

  The sharing of ideas, both creative and functional, I think have helped the user community immensely.

  Keep up the good work.

  Cheers,

  BG

  You guys are both reasons why I have confidence in FCPX. (not trying to make this into an argument forum about FCPX lol). All I mean is that more people like you will continue to create effects/plugins for the new final cut and will draw people in. The more people the more support apple will give. I actually love FCPX so far if you look past the shortcomings that is, so much raw potential. But I think the new way that motion and Final Cut interact is THE reason this will be an amazing editing tool once the kinks get worked it.
