Sound activated plugins for FCPX

[Mark Suszko]

In Motion, you can animate a behavior that’s linked to an audio source, then publish that to FCPX. I made a plug-in that way once to blink the screen to black on the loud drum beats of an incoming music track, it was the fastest way to make a lot of 1 and 2 frame cuts when the dj “dropped the beat”. Volume can also be used to keyframe changes in scale or other values, so a shout, for example, could drive the “wiggle” and scale effects to make a title seem to react or act in synch with someone shouting.

That the kind of thing you’re looking for, or just a way to trigger titles to match in synch with dialogue?

How is what you want to do different than just normal subtitles?
