GenArts Sapphire Glow Tutorial for Final Cut Pro

[genarts]

@vador43 - Glad you asked, because there's much more to Sapphire than the single glow effect! Sapphire is actually a collection of over 240 effects and transitions for different uses, from bold standout effects, to more subtle or corrective effects that artists rely on for every project. Some categories are "Stylize" (Grain, FilmDamage, etc), and "Lighting" (which includes Glow but also many others). See them all at: genarts.com/effects/sapphire

Can someone explain what is there more than a glow effect to sapphire plugin? Because at 1,699$ for a plugin, its more expensive than FCP. I don't get it.

How do I do this if the object that I want to glow moves?

[rapperholiks]

@IslandChic01 u would first "toggle auto select" the bottom layer/clip then drag and drop it in the "control" tab's well (the background well) and WALLAH!! the glow follows yo object....
