  • ease in – ease out?

    Posted by Sherwood Ball on October 31, 2008 at 9:05 pm

    When I’m creating motion or punching in on a still image,
    is there a fast and easy way to create a soft landing ala ease in/ease out without doing a boatload of keyframing?

    Thnx,

    Use Motion for this. FCP sucks at Ease in and Ease out.

    Great tutorial for this…

    You can in the canvas window right or control click on the motion path point – ease in/out will appear.

    Good to go into the sequence settings>video processing tab> change motion filtering to best.

    I thought “smooth” appears.
    That makes the image sort of duck as you’re punching in.
    Would be nice if there was a parameter to adjust the degree of
    ducking…..
    Smooth is not the same thing.

    Is this what you’re talking about?

    Ease in and Ease out are terms that are used in AE.
    I’m trying to avoid going to another program, making motion changes,
    and then re-importing.

    Oh well.

    FCP sure ain’t AE, or even Motion – but if you do choose ‘smooth’ on the keyframes, and have the wireframe view enabled, you can adjust the bezier points of the keyframes to adjust motion. It’s possible with a little fiddling to get a decent result depending on the move required, although if it’s just a push in, smooth is ok – the problems come when you have a position move as well, causing ‘wobbly’ motion.

    You MAY find using the bezier handles helps with this – just don’t expect miracles…

    PS – Motion is a quick and easy way of achieving this if you are a FCS owner. Just don’t bother with the FCP/Motion integration (dropping Motion projects into FCP) as it sucks.

    My suggestion: Use the Pan & Zoom plugin that is free from Noise Industries. I used it on two projects and I think it does a great job. Just a few minutes to understand the interface and you’ll get what you’re asking for:

    [Sherwood Ball] “I thought “smooth” appears.”

    Ease In/Ease Out appears – just like in AE. Try it.

    Motion/FCP integration is fine – just don’t embed motion content so you can go backwards.
