Hi Matt, I'm a closet, wannabe filmmaker that is starting at the ripe age of 40. I'm getting my T3i and 50mm f/1.4 lens in a week or so. I purchased Final Cut X when it came out as I was most familiar with iMovie user and the Premiere/FCP 7 interface was overwhelming for me. I have recently purchased a subscription to Lynda.com and was wondering if I should try to stick with learning Final Cut X or try and upgrade my knowledge base to Adobe Premiere due to the abilities of After Effects. Input?
My professional editing friends say that FCX is bogus and I should learn the "pro" series such as Premiere or Avid. But is it truly necessary in order to get that "professional" look? Most of my stuff will be for digital download. Thanks for taking the time!
@Bilenutube Assuming you are using actual pre-keyed footage, if you follow all the steps it will work. Double check that you aren't missing something and give it another try.
Check out youtube fxmah. He must have a lot of experience with Motion and Photoshop. He is constantly uploading effects and transition that are very sophisticated.
Would love to see more of these videos going into FCPX. That free plugins from crumplepop are exactly what I needed. Thanks alot for that video, hopefully seeing more of these.
On YouTube, username 'fxmah'. He makes his own Final Cut Pro and Motion effects and gives them for free. Sorry for no link, the links are in his video descriptions.
My bad people!!! I just noticed, it was a QuickTime encoder!!!! It is quicktime encoder, that iMovie uses (of course, when you export via "quicktime")
@a7xforever507 Macs play plenty of games, and as far as I know every major recent computer game release was on both Windows and OSX. The idea that "Macs aren't for gamers" really stems from the fact that for many years developers simply didn't make a lot of Mac games. That's not really the case anymore. Although, many hardcore gamers prefer to build their own machines, which is easier to do with WIndows.
@nicdem25 that's the weird thing... in the systems folder for iMovie. There is a "plugins", but it doesn't support plugins. Just makes you wonder, what is the point of having a plugins folder, if you can't use plugins??
The closest thing to a plugin I use in iMovie, is the x264Encoder (google it, you'll thank me later) Is an awesome encoder much like h264, but it does the encoding/exporting way better. Which means, smaller size files & better quality (less noise). Supports advance adjustments.
@spencersmat You need to just move them into the folder /movies/motion templates/effects. Then restart FCPX and you'll see them in the effects browser.
Aww man. This was one of my next videos lol now all the little kiddies will think I copied you when I upload haha oh well. This video is awesome though -- I found some different plug ins to you! Can't wait to try the ones you found and I'll show mine off soon :D
hi mat i need these soooo bad for my videos rite now and never knew where to get them from.though i edit with iMovie,is there one for iMovie or even one that i can pay for ? cheers thanks so much you've helped me so much with editing .can thank you enough!!
