Free Final Cut / Apple Motion Template: 3D Video Shatter Effect (transition or standalone)

[evil0verlady]

Do you know if there's a way to do a glass shattering transition in iMovie (HD, '09, or '11)?

@evil0verlady You will need Motion (5 will do and it's only $49+tax from the app store) to render out the broken glass sequence (use dropzone—export as Animation or Prores 4444.) I believe you can enable advanced features in iMovie and apply a Picture in Picture effect on a clip. From what i've read, you will have to manually add prores clips to the Event folder for the project. Google "iMovie +ProRes kenstone.net". Load up the Motion export in PIP and fit. I *think* that should work. HTH

Can you use this for Final Cut Express?



[fxmah]

@EpiCastrophe As far as I know, you can! If you are unable to install the files as a template, then I believe you can still open the Motion Project file from within FCE and use it in the timeline that way. According to Apple's FCE specs page: Direct-to-Timeline drag-and-drop integration of Motion projects. Make sure you keep any accessory files in the same folder as the project file.

HTH!

The preferred paths to install these files are:

The Shatter Effect folder (template):

Main hard drive: Users: yourUserName: Library: Application Support: Final Cut Studio: Motion: Templates:

the Shatter Effect SC.molo (favorite):

Main hard drive: Users: yourUserName: Library: Application Support: Final Cut Studio: Motion: Library: Favorites:

You can't use the Finder's Find feature to find any of the folders in /Library as they are system protected, you must navigate the folders manually.

I can't seem to find Final Cut Studio in my Application support folder. :S
