Thanks for your quick response. How do I do that? Sorry, but I’m a bit of a n00b.

There is a vignette plugin in one of the effects folders in FCP6. YOu can also pick up plugins for cheap (and free) from various plugin makers. Have a dig around the net if it isnt in your effect folder.

there are many ways to do this

One simple way (but only 2 minutes)
Create a shape (Oval) > Superimpose > Apply an Invert > change size, aspect softness to your liking > Composite Mode – Subtract

and you have a dark vignette.

But do yourself a favor, spend some time with the manual, make it your friend.

That’s good advice. Thanks for the help 🙂
