[dawnshadows21]

sweeeettt thanks man! needed this

hey do you know how to put the countdown effect on the bottom of the camera screen like on documentaries interview?thanks =]

[FinalCutKing]

You can make one by using the timecode generator and just crop. I'm currently looking for a plugin that will make one for free. I'll keep you updated!

[Giznetic]

can you do some tutorials on video intro's?

please... maybe something like the intro you have to your videos

[FinalCutKing]

yeah, I think that would be a cool topic to cover sometime. I am coming out with a Motion 3 DVD tutorial product this summer which will cover a lot more of Motion and how to do things like that.

What if in a video the thing you want to spotlight is moving how would you do that?

[bigmike3550]

if you spotlight like this on a sports video,lets say, Football, do you do the same exact thing, but just keyframe it to follow along with the athlete?

[MattAndersonFilms]

@ghaz1ranka You would probably have to motion track your subject

[MattAndersonFilms]

Thanks man, I'm actually going through your entire channel picking up tutorials as I am getting into Post Production and want to brush up on Final Cut.

Thanks a bunch!

[HTPtheFirst]

Thank you for your help.

This video is pretty easy to follow and how you presented the intro makes me want to do it with an image I liked

[TutorialsHD1]

i love ur video i suscribed

[DaviniaLeveneDillon]

Hi is there a way you can gradually fade the colour in? like starting with the scalf then slowy including her arms clothing etc. I need this for a project and any help would be grand.

[mellisa1230]

Hey guy, great video but i really need to know how to do this with a moving video. Help?!

[unholybasketcase]

Wicked, but what exactly is it a slug does, as far as i can tell is it just a base, black layer. I haven'y really had a chance to try this out and as far as i can tell there is little use for a slug. Perhaps if you could explain that and what it was for in more detail this video would make more sense? Other than that amazing, im going for best editor award in my college and this is really helping me get the edge =]
