  • Adding acceleration On Resizes in FCP

    Posted by Duncan Hill on November 10, 2008 at 12:31 pm

    I’m new to FCP and am working on a project where I am doing a lot of moves on JPEGs, zooms in/out etc.

    What I really want to do is add ‘Acceleration’ to my moves like I would do in the AVID using the 3D Warp tool (so it is more like a camera move). I can’t seem to find the eqivulent in FCP.

    Any thoughts???
    Thanks

    You will have to do this by tweaking and smoothing keyframes in the motion tab.

    Tweaking and moving keyframes in the Motion tab in FCP is AWFUL.

    If your project requires any subtlety, my suggestion would be to do your moves in Motion. Many good tools in Motion for making moves on stills. Also After Effects.

    You can do this in FCP, it is just harder. Like tying your shoes without your thumbs.

    Best,
