    FCP X Effect: BG Editors Bag of Tricks

    Posted by Brendan Gibbons on August 20, 2011 at 8:36 am

    BG: Effects in FCP X

    “BG Editors Bag of Tricks”

    This is an FCP X Effect preset.

    Quite often we find ourselves in the situation of having to add a bit of production value to an edit, but without the extra time to do it.

    I built into this preset for a number of things I find myself adding when there’s little to no time to at all to do it.

    Quite often you add multiple filters to experiment, so the idea behind this is to have a number of quick treatments to hand to get you out of a hole quickly.

    FCP X Effect: BG Editors Bag of Tricks

    – Pre effect simple grading controls
    – 8 built in presets of quick colour styles

    Have been slowly working on a website in my spare time…. getting there slowly.

    Hopefully will have a site with more screenshots and user documentation, and if time permits some videos showing them in use soon.

    Glad the presets have been useful.

    Cheers,

    Brendan
