  • Eye blinking effect in FCP

    Posted by Rob Henry on July 2, 2008 at 8:15 am

    Hi,

    I’m about to commence a small project in FCP in which i’d like to create the perception it’s being viewed through a human eye by having a blinking effect. I’d like to create the black border in an arc style shape which will close over speradically in a quick blinking eye fashion. How would i go about doing this?
    Would i create the desired shape in Photoshop, mask it, import it and using the motion controls create the close over?
    Is creating a mask, saving and importing a difficult process?
    is there an easier way?

    Appreciate the help…

    I think what you propose to do is a great way to do this, not too difficult at all actually.
