Moving Censor

[Walter Biscardi]

You need to use the Motion Tab in the Viewer and keyframe the “Center” position.

Double click the clip with the censor into the Viewer.

On the first frame of where the censor has to move, place a keyframe in the Center position.

Now as you move along the timeline, keep repositioning the censor and FCP will automatically add keyframes each time you move.

From there you just tweak the movements of it after you watch it.

I know you asked how to do this in FCP, but you may want to consider using the Match Move Behavior in Motion. It will save you a lot of time.
