  • Effect on trim or crop

    Posted by Marcin Kostera on February 3, 2018 at 1:02 pm

    Hello everybody! I’m Marcin, FCPX beginner ☺
    I can’t handle with this problem:
    I have background video and main video. Background is under main storyline. I’ve trimmed or cropped main video, so background video is visible.
    Question is: how to add effect or transition on main video only? Every time I add effect or transition it effects also on background.
    Please help 🙂

    You’d have to make the “main video” clip a compound clip, and add the effect/transition to the inside of the compound clip.
