Stock Floodlight/Spotlight for FCP

[Victor Perez]

I have used multiple clips on top of each other and added Garbage Mattes, Image Mask, Mask Shapes and Soft Edges, but since I became more involved with using color it has made it so much more realistic (and believable) as long as the prep work is done correctly prior to sending to color.

Check out this Richard Harrington Tutorial on Vignettes and tracking them.

CGM has one called Spotlight 3D in CGM DVE FX and Noise Industries has one in NI Stylize. I don’t know if you can get these plugs individually. They’re each probably part of a package of FX. I think Victor’s ideas is a good one.
