Final Cut Express/ Pro Tutorial: Sniper Scope Effect

[TheFlabagasted]

I got the crosshair imag but o one of the screens the crosshair would not show just the outline box??/

[AStickManProductions]

What you could do is type in crosshairs in to google images then get rid of the white or black background by using a composite mode. It works really fine!

[claycraigo]

can you make the scope curve its to jaggity

[TheMonteiro123]

@ChrisCrater yeah.

[thecarboardking]

if you changed it why didnt you make a fuking video of how to get there

[aidanlikespie]

thanks it really helped knowing about paint brush.

i made mine very advanced

[AndTuts]

Filmriot has got a more realistic sniperscope, which is a .PNG file, so you don't need the chroma key :-P

[singingsniper]

i dont know how to put the lines through the screen and it wont move it doesent even give me the option

[countzeppelin97]

@MedievelHollywood. Thx!

[countzeppelin97]

I tried going to ur website but it came up with a 404 error :( looks like a cool effect

[MedievalHollywood]

@countzeppelin97. Yah, I'm sorry. My website has been down for a little while. Just use the actual link to it in the description. Thanks for the comment!

[GiltchProductions]

how did u do the text at the start of the video?

[proking23]

does it work on adobe premiere elements 7 or adobe after effect's?

[Dan12396]

hey can u tell me what website u use for ur sound effects

[SamWorks2000]

the croma key dont work

[MedievalHollywood]

@SamWorks2000. Did you download the image, or did you save the image to your computer?

[TheUnboxing101]

how do u delete audio PLEASE TELL ME!!!

[JayBizzzle]

This is good stuff man. Nice work.

[PussPussProductions]

dose it work 4 the new imovie

[MedievalHollywood]

@PussPussProductions. Sadly, no. iMovie doesn't have much by the means of compositing. But, if you feel like you can put out 200 dollars, Final Cut Express is a wonderful program and can help you make better videos with effects and features that iMovie can't even dream of creating. The sniper scope is one of them.

[PussPussProductions]

@MedievalHollywood 200$ wow i dont even have 20$  thanx though

[TheJetfireboy]

@PussPussProductions well you can green screen so yes but you cant move it

[Techno11211]

it wont work on me ahhhh

[MedievalHollywood]

@Techno11211. I'm sorry. What are you having trouble with?

[Techno11211]

@MedievalHollywood like the scope thing will get all weird looking and look at one of my videos called sniping effect

[MedievalHollywood]

@Techno11211. I watched it. The first part was done in Paint, right?  As for the second part, did you download the actual file from MediaFire, or did you just save the image from my website?

[Techno11211]

@MedievalHollywood but it works with paint brush...

[tzBarricadetc]

hey, you know how your scope is slowly panning around back and forth. Can you speed that up a bit making the keyframes further apart? I want to be fast, short and sharp. Hope this makes sense. Thanks!

[MrRifle47]

you site does not open

[MrRifle47]

nice tutorial!

[pdxcharles]

Thanks for taking the time...

[MedievalHollywood]

@pdxcharles. No problem. I'm making new tutorials every monday, Wednesday, and friday if you are interested in more of them. :)

[cheeriosy]

you can also make your own blood on paintbrush.

[Hypersup]

Hey MedievalHollywood! Remember me? Also do you know if this awesome effect works on Final Cut Pro?

[MedievalHollywood]

Haha. Yes, I do remember you. It's been a while. And yes, this effect will work just fine in Final Cut Pro.

[Hypersup]

@MedievalHollywood Cool, thanks man. Oh and by the way, are you making any more tutorials? XD

[MedievalHollywood]

No problem. And yah, I want to start making more. But, i've been kind of busy and stuff. Plus, I don't got a whole lot of more ideas. Any recommendations or tutorial ideas?

[way4free]

Great Tutorial

Please i have a question

Can final cut express 4 track motion like in after effects ?

i mean is there a way to do the titles moving in the street like movies ?

Thanks in advance

[AirsoftFlorida1]

hey thanx man i got this program fer xmas and uve really helped me out w/ stuff i needed help w/ thnx alott

[kingster1978]

Medieval I need your help I am having problems getting the wide screen version of the crosshairs to correspond with the chroma keyer. The standard one I had no problems with getting all the green from showing up I just hit the chroma keyer one time. With the wide screen the green did not completely drop off once I hit it one time. You can see the background fine but the people were green help please buddy.

[MedievalHollywood]

Hmm. I'm sorry about your problem. My guess is that you need to fiddle with the "Chroma Keyer", itself.  This is the new tab that comes up in the "Viewer" window along the top. As seen at 1:30 in the video. Try to move around the different sliders and bars along the top to create a better effect. Thanks for the question. I am hoping to cover this in a tutorial soon.

[kingster1978]

NIce, Thanx man I'm going to try it right now aye take care Hollywood.

[nyveggie]

Love the tutorial!!!!! But when you zoom in for me it dosent ???

[MedievalHollywood]

Thanks. But, Hmm. Make sure that Image+Wireframe is turned on. You can turn it on in the top of the "Canvas" window. It should be the box to the right of the box with a number and a precent.

[paulallen34]

love your tutorial you know your stuff,im new to FCE ive got as far as KEY & CROMA KEYER what do i do next you mention VISUAL,not sure about it.can you please help.

[MedievalHollywood]

Hey, Paul. I appreciate the compliment. But what visual is, is pretty much just the color you want to key out. The color can range anything in the rainbow. Once you apply the "Chroma Key" filter to the Cross Hairs picture, there should be a new tab along the top of the "Viewer", as you can see me click at 1:26 in the video. Once you do this, select the "dropper" tool, and select the green. This is just to select the color you want to key out; green. Please, let me know if this helps.

[paulallen34]

thanks for the info,what happens if the background is black.

once again thanks

paul

[MedievalHollywood]

No problem. But if the background is black, or white, you use something called "Luma Key", translating to "Light Key". You can access it below the Chroma Key Filter, and it works the same way. Except, instead of a VISUAL, like we talked about earlier, you just select the clip you applied the "Luma Key" filter on, and hit on "Filters" in the Viewer. You should see it. By default, it will key out the white, but to key out the black, click "Key Mode", and then "Key out Darker".

[paulallen34]

thanks again youve been very helpful.

[MedievalHollywood]

No problem. I'm glad I could help. : )

[EsquireStudios]
