FCP X The Sky’s the Limit
FCP X custom effect preset to help you create sky gradients. It has been built so it has best effect for horizon type shots. It helps you place a nice grad filter type effect on the sky.
It may have limited use, but hopefully it’s useful to someone.
– 30+ gradient presets to choose from (built from motions shape gradient templates)
– Gradient Opacity
– Gradient Blend Mode (though has been built to best take advantage of multiply blend mode)
– adjustable scale and rotationScreenshots:

Extract to a folder of your choosing inside /user name / movies / motion templates / Effects
(e.g extract to a new folder called “Custom Effects”)Cheers,

That’s a brilliant idea to have used the built-in gradient presets – genius!

Hi Brendon
very useful effect. thanks
However having tested it I’m getting 4 frames of just the effect at the end of the clip on the timeline. I chose Deep blue sky ( Multiply blend mode )
This is not at the end of the clip but regardless where it it trimmed or cut to the 4 frames occur.
If I put a dissolve on the cut there are no blue frames.
The way round this issue is to cut to a connected clip.

Hi Mark,
Thanks for the heads up.
Looks like it was an error by me. The effect source clip was trimmed 4 frames short of 10 seconds (fat finger syndrome by myself!)
Here’s the updated version

You’ve been framed
That’s great i’ll replace the one i’ve imported. I did look at your handywork in Motion but couldn’t see anything amiss.
What a load of layers you’ve placed in there.
I managed to make my first effect today and successfully publish it. It was colour corrector and not very good but I felt a sense of utter satisfaction at having joined the fcp x effects club. I’ve now trashed it.

Share away 🙂
All ideas help everyone learn I think.
