  • imovie effects in FCP?

    greetings,
    i am curious if there is some way to copy the imovie effects into FCP5? i need an old film look, and although i never use imovie i know there is a film effect in imovie. i figured it would be an easier way than finding a plugin. any ideas?
    thanks

    It really is a simple thing to do. Here’s how.

    1) Import the clip into a new iMovie project
    2) Apply the desired effect
    3) Export the clip (in iMovie they call it Share)
    4) Select the “Full Quality” Setting
    5) Go back to Final Cut and import the file

    Follow these steps and you’ll get the results you wanted.
