TRAINING DESCRIPTION

One of the features that makes Final Cut Pro X so exciting isn’t even created by Apple. It’s the thousands of third-party plug-ins and applications that work with Final Cut. These add effects and capabilities far beyond the basics shipped with the software.

In this video training, master trainer Larry Jordan showcases some of the latest technology and effects that you can add to your own projects. First, he shows you what these can do, then he shows you how to do it yourself. If you’ve been looking for ways to animate data, spice up your animation and effects, or track the untrackable, you need to see this webinar. What you can do with plug-ins today is nothing short of amazing.

Here’s a list of the plug-ins presented in this video and what they can do:

• Flicker Free: Remove flickering in slow-mo and time-lapse footage
• Photo Montage: Animate still-image slide shows with hundreds of variations
• Split Animator: Easily create split-screen effects using video or stills
• Data Pop: Animate data and statistics with custom backgrounds, maps and 3D camera moves
• 3D Perspective: Add 3D perspective and depth-of-field to 2D video or stills
• Advanced Masking Tools 2: Create complex, multi-point masks, then animate with keyframes
• Skin Smoother: Easily reduce wrinkles and facial blemishes
• Titler Pro 2: Create 3D and animated titles
• TrackX: Motion track moving objects without requiring tracking dots or complex setup.
