FCP-X for documentaries (with details)
-
So it is not that FCP X can’t do what they wanted but that Resolve could not. So can you send a Premiere Pro project to resolve with a Ken Burns effect Aindreas Gallagher?

[Bret Williams] “You can’t ease anything in FCP X.”
FCPX has velocity controls, but they are convoluted and weird. This was made in FCPX all with position keyframes and velocity control.
-
Did you do that with the workaround where you add a keyframe, then delete it?

[Jeremy Garchow] “FCPX has velocity controls, but they are convoluted and weird. This was made in FCPX all with position keyframes and velocity control.”
Can you control both scale and position the same way?

No, I use the little nubs on the path in the Viewer.

I said it was convoluted and weird, not supercool fantastic.

Can you clarify? All I can get them to do is spatial. Curves (smooth) or linear. Seems like in some version I was able to trick it into easing, but not lately.

[Tony West] “I have never used that program so I can’t say, but most of my footage came from a site called critical past.”
I’ll check out critical past. You can never have too many footage sites.
[Tony West] “I stuck mostly with stills from the DOE, NRC or other government agencies. If it belonged to the government I knew I didn’t have to pay for it.”
I try to use my already spent tax dollars effectively too! One thing that I have seen though is commercial stock footage/image sites taking material that is public domain and charging for it like they own the rights.

You click on a point, and you get the little beizer type handles. Hold shift, and drag that handle either left or right. That changes the size of the little hash marks of the path, which in turn changes the velocity of the clip. If you do it on both points, you can change the in and out speed.
Here’s a lame diagram:
-
The shift is just to keep the bezier handle in line with the straight path, correct? Because it seems to work with or without shift. I’ve had this work on occasion in the past, and recently it wasn’t working. Possible it broke for a version or two?
Alright, good. Good tell Aindreas.
Now, to go see if that’s the trick in resolve. They removed the graphing for position in v12, and with it the ease controls for position.
