Thanks Bill,

I have used it extensively in earlier versions. In fact did a whole animation with it, but found that AE was much more what I needed. However since then I only use it for effects over like smoke etc.. But FCPX effects gives me an additional use for it. Its a great programme. Thanks for advice.

Thanks for all your help

You can easily open a copy of the effect in Motion (if you have it) and Publish the invert parameter

Sorry can you explain further.

I do have motion… but can’t work out what I need to do as I hardly use it. any good tutorial videos on this? please

hi..

Lets assume I use the FCPX packaged circle mask in the effects lists.
I use also masks in the pixel film studios plugins toolbox too.

Same thing. the outside is masked out …. there is no invert to have the inside masked out. visa versa.

I want the inside masked or the outside masked.. i.e inverted.
In AE the mask has a drop down to add or subtract.

Seems simple but wondered if there was an option somewhere????

Hi…

Thanks Brett, that was what I wanted to know… how FCPX allocated its monitors… SO accordingly you have got it to work. so its probably fine for me to buy another. my card has 3 slots.
THnaks.

Yes Ann… please where is this custom bin… ?

The way I am getting around this is make a custom clip … call it e.g. hues and then add any colour effects and special settings etc… and I keep this in a project called effects favourites and then I ” copy ” and paste attributes into clips as i need this.

Seems to work with frequently used effects with their favourite settings.

Checking your camera settings before shooting. 😉

Thanks

Okay to recap….

Assuming both cameras /or audio were switched on at the same time exactly and therefore same time length,.i.e 10 seconds.
They should land on the timeline visually looking the same. and 10 secs long. But that is not what is happening.

Is this a pref setting to automate that I have not set.? why has therefore FCPX not automated this. There is audio on the video and that is out by 1.02 seconds. or the audio is speeded up? or down? …. but they don’t match.

video is 23.98 canon compact s100
audio is 25fps. canon 60d with audio tascam 60d (used in this case for audio only. as the smaller camera fitted the teleprompter better.)

So I only ask now what is best practice.?
a project at 23fps or 25fps?

Sorry don’t know what I was thinking about modify…its there in BIG letters…. but there was a modify on an older version which i used for modifying fps at the bottom of info on the inspector… thats what I was looking for…… for changing fps on clips…. Think that has gone, but automatic is solving this issue. Don’t know why its happened on this project FCPX is usually good at this fps issue.

Thanks

Modify has gone from the latest version on FCPX 10.1.2 ? it was in info. Don’t know where this is now.

Okay to recap.

video is 23.98fps
audio captured at 25fps
project is 25fps..

so surely the video should be 96% as it does not let me enter 95.92% but on automatic the setting is retimed at 104% which is speeding the footage up not stretching it.

If I apply the automatic to the audio this is then correct, but if the project is 25fps surly i should adjust only the video.
