  • NEW FCPX Multi-Shape Mask Effect

    Posted by Simon Ubsdell on July 24, 2011 at 7:11 pm

    If you’ve ever wanted to put your images into a heart-shape or a speech bubble, or an arrow, or some other interesting shape, this could be useful to you.

    2664_shapemasks.zip

    There are controls for:

    – Shape selection – Circle, Ellipse, Square, Speech Bubble, Heart, Hexagon, 5-pointed star, 6-pointed star, Arrow and Pill;
    – Mask Scale and Position and Rotation;
    – Source Scale and Position;
    – Background On/Off and color;
    – Border Color and Width;
    – Drop Shadow Opacity, Color, Blur, Distance and Angle.

    I realize there are some obvious shape missing like a triangle and a pentagon – I’ll add those in if anybody is at all interested in this effect and let me know if there are any other shapes you’d like to see in there.

    can you make a mask without a background.
    what i’m trying to do is take two video tracks and place them on top of one another and adjust the top layer using the mask. thanks!

    [Robert Bracken] “can you make a mask without a background.”

    There is a “Background.On/Off” checkbox in the Inspector for this effect – it defaults to On but if you switch it Off you will be able to do what you are asking.
