Animation, speed effects, and masking in Final Cut Pro
Part Four of this bite-sized Final Cut Pro series moves into more advanced editing territory: keyframe animation, speed manipulation, and masking. Each topic is broken into short, focused tutorials, continuing the series' approach of teaching one skill at a time rather than overwhelming beginners with the full feature set at once.
Who it's for
- Editors who've worked through earlier parts of the series and are ready for more advanced tools
- Anyone comfortable with Final Cut Pro basics who wants to add polish and precision to their edits
What's covered
- Creating and refining keyframe animations, including smoothing and copying keyframes
- Speed changes: variable speed, reverse, jump cuts, and smooth slow motion
- Shape and color masks, including animated and combined masks
- Compound clips, storylines, and auditions
Part Five continues the series with clip roles, captions, and library organization.
