TRAINING DESCRIPTION

Blend modes, which Final Cut Pro 7 called “€œcomposite modes,” combine images based upon their gray-scale or color values. Which sounds weird until you start to play with it. Think of blend modes as “sharing textures between images.” What makes blend modes so exciting is that they are easy to apply, yet open up a world of creative possibilities.

In this video training, join host, Larry Jordan, as he shows you how blend modes can take your effects to an entirely different level. You can use them to add texture to text, enhance images, or make images look totally surreal.

During this webinar, you’€™ll learn how to apply and remove blend modes, what different blend modes can do, then see more than a dozen examples showcasing how to use blend modes in a variety of projects.

AUDIENCE LEVEL

This intermediate-level webinar is designed for editors who have a basic understanding of Final Cut Pro X, but want to further explore effects. (This video training plays as a QuickTime movie. You don’t need to own any other software to watch this movie.)
