If you're just blurring the background you can just add the blur effect to the main clip and add the magnetic mask to the effect, no need to duplicate.
Thank you for the film showing one production idea made possible using the magnetic mask. As a part of a blurred background idea perhaps it would be an idea to include the chair within the mask. It is very close to you in terms of distance from the camera,, and so, even with a manufactured shallower depth of field, the chair would not have been as out of focus as the far wall and furniture. I realise that you were demonstrating the technicalities of the use of the mask, rather than concentrating on an ideal image. You were also showing the edge feathering, so having a blurred background and sharp text behind was the real point. The FCP logo could have gone behind the chair rather than between you and the chair.
Instead of dropping the magnetic mask effect on the timeline, drag it to the viewer and hover over yourself (ie. Hover the effect over the subject you want to select rather than just dropping it on the timeline). This saves you extra the step of using the plus and minus to fine tune the selection.
You should be using the magnetic mask on the blur itself. The method you're using you're blurring your image behind your masked image so you're seeing a lot of of the colors of yourself on the edges. If you apply the mask to the blur itself then it will only blur what is the masked
Thanks for the tip. And thanks for watching. Hopefully others read your comment too. I’ll make sure to incorporate this knowledge in a future video. ❤️
I believe you can select the frames where the mask didn’t get saved and use the dropper or the brush tool to select the mask for those frames. Hope that helps!
Thanks! There’s a couple guitars in the room too. Planning to make a video that teaches people how to play a song on guitar and then I’ll also show how I edit that video. So stay tuned for that!
🔥 M1 is, like you say, way faster-that would take about 15 seconds! Great video! My only feedback is that the 'final product' just places the 'C' in the small heading behind the head, which doesn’t make much sense here 😂. I get the point, though, and this will probably kick off a headings-behind-the-head mania for the rest of the year, just because it’s now possible 🤔😂.
Yeah in reality it took like 10 minutes in my machine. Hoping to upgrade to a better machine in the near future. Good call on the letters behind the subject. I think a better example of using this would be in a shot where the text passes behind the subject but then ultimately you see the full text. Thanks so much for the feedback and for watching. ❤️
Hope you all enjoy this video. Let me know in the comments what cool things you're doing with the Magnetic Mask.
Compliments - this are super ideas for using Magnetic Masks.

Awesome thanks for the tip!! And thanks for watching.
This the best video for this feature…I hope UA-cam promotes it, you deserve to be seen.
Thanks so much for the kind words. I hope the same! Haha. Thanks for watching!
You can put your effect directly onto the viewer without doubleling the layer
Thanks for sharing your experience. Hope your channel will grow up. Vincent from France.

Thanks so much for the kind words!! ❤️
Nice
Im running on iMac with intel, 16GB 2018 and the speed is not that bad as on your mac.
@@Gentlemans_sport awesome glad it’s working better for you. My Mac may just be on its last legs. Lol.

I have a problem I create a mask but when analyze the subject that moves the mask lost in some frames on the video what can I do ?
I believe you can select the frames where the mask didn’t get saved and use the dropper or the brush tool to select the mask for those frames. Hope that helps!
Is the Magnetic Mask available on iPad Pro?
Hey, I don’t think it’s available yet for Final Cut Pro for iPad. I think it’s only on the desktop version right now. 🙂. Thanks for watching!
@ Thanks. Great videos. Hope you’ll make more. Love short tutorial videos.
You should blur the background right out. It's flipped horizontally - as are you.
Thanks for the feedback! And thanks for watching! ❤
lol. The Nike symbol and the Japanese writing in the frame behind me give away the flip. 😂😂. Good catch!!
nice piano over there.

Dont. worry. M1 is not fast either.
Thanks for the feedback. What kind of speeds are you seeing on an M1 Mac?
@@EmberdynFX on my m1 pro mbp (base model) a 10 sec clip is analyzed in 43 secs
Awesome. Yeah that’s definitely faster than my intel core machine it took like 10 minutes to analyze this clip.
