I appreciate the comment! Anytime I figure something out, I like to make a tutorial for myself to remember and hopefully to help others that's are "pros".
Thanks very much for the clear explanation. I hit a small hiccup when dragging the Pixellate onto the viewer, as it would only pixelate the whole frame. I had to drag it onto the timeline clip, then undo it, and then drag it onto the viewer. Only by doing that will it try to find the object and let me tweak the shape and tracking.
Thank you so much for such a clear and concise tutorial! I thought I was going to have to add the keyframes in individually so it was an absolute luxury to discover your time saving tutorial!!😄
Man, I haven't had to use the new object tracking feature. Thus I forgot about it and was doing it the old fashioned way. Truly amazing that this was a free update given how much one might have to pay for a feature like this beforehand.
Yeah, I often come back and watch this to remember how to do it...lol. Glad it was helpful! Way better than the old days of exporting it to Motion and re-importing it back to FCP.
Hey Eric, great video! Question for you. When I add the tracker, it looks good at first, but then once my camera starts to move, the tracker stays in the same position, almost like its stuck to my lens and moves around the object with the camera movement. Not staying on the license plate where it should. I've followed your steps a few times and it still keeps moving with the camera. Any ideas? Thank you!
Go to "Effects" and then "All Video & Audio" then type "pix" at the bottom right corner, and it should show up. It's a different looking icon now though, but it's there.
Can do it with keyboard short cuts, Command-Plus Sign (+) or (-), or if you have a MacBook Pro you can do gestures (pinch). "Double-tap (two-finger): Double-tap with two fingers to zoom the timeline so that all the clips fill the visible part of the timeline. Swipe (two-finger): Swipe with two fingers to scroll left, right, up, or down in the timeline."
Yeah, I just got one of those fancy new 16" MBP M1 Max's. I had been on my Mac mini for years waiting and saving for something like this. Though I was hoping for a Super MacMini or something, which would have been easier on the wallet.
@@gordon9177 Well it's the future and it runs circles around the Intel based Mac's. They are much lower energy use, but super fast at rendering and other tasks. If you are an iMac fan, there should be new Apple Silicon based iMacs probably spring give or take. There is a 24" M1 iMac out now which is fine but I'd wait for the next models, if you can. Intel Mac's will probably run most software for the next couple years, but features will start to drop off, like they just started with FCP. I like to run the latest iMovie and FCP, so I couldn't put off the update any longer. If I didn't make tutorials....I might have milked it for another year, give or take.
Get get Blackmagic DaVinci Resolve 17 (Free Version) which is a pro level video editing program. Then you will have to search for an "Object Tracking" tutorial to figure out how to do it there. Resolve works on PC/Mac/Linux.
This was super helpful dude! Thank you so much for this! I discovered that this same process also works with all the blur styles as well! Nice if you want to cover something up in a more natural way! 🙌
THANK YOU. This is the only concise tutorial that actually shows how to do the thing. legend.

Great lesson dude! Thank you ....!
Thanks for watching 🤙
Thanks a lot! You saved a lot of time for all of us! Appreciate it!

Super helpful! I've spent way too much time trying to figure this out and had no idea it was now a built in feature in FCP.
Yeah, they just added it recently which is AWESOME!! Glad the video could help you!
EXELENT TUTORIAL , THANKS 👍

Agreed!! FCP is, for real, the best deal in the creative space!!
Wonderful, thank you!
LIFE SAVER!!! thank you
Game changer bro 🔥🔥 thanks
That was extremely useful. I've not got it to work yet, until I watched your video. I've been trying Censor effect - no good, Gaussian Blur - no good.
Yeah, I often come back and watch this to remember how to do it...lol. Glad it was helpful! Way better than the old days of exporting it to Motion and re-importing it back to FCP.
@@ET_Videos I’ve never used Motion. I always manually added key frames, going painstakingly through the clips needing it. This will really save time!
Thank you so much for this!! I watched so many other tutorials and this one finally made sense
Great content, thank you for exmplaining this in an easy to understand way.
This drag and drop was a game changer!! Can't believe I didn't know about this lol
I know right!! Way easier than before!
@@ET_Videos I just finished a section of my clients documentary in like 5 minutes with this feature
Thank you for this wonderful tip, I found that we can do it in blur also...
Great video! I love finding out about these surprises in FCP!
Thanks! Love this new feature for sure!!
Thank you !!!
Wooowww! Thank you!
awesome. Thank you! You gave a quick easy tutorial and that was just what I needed.
Your the best thank you so much saved me so much time !!! I used to donit the long was frame by frame for so many years !!!!!! ❤
So helpful😭
Damn thank you! This just saved me a lot of time 🍻
Thank you.
Really helpful and perfectly explained tutorial.
Thank you !
How to lessen the bleed of effect?
Thank you! exactly what i needed!👏
Broooooo you helped me a lot. Greetings from Germany :)
Are blurs and pixels the only options? I'd like to obscure a plate without drawing attention to it. Like a plain white rectangle or something.
Thanks for this. Just saved me hours

I am out of the country with crappy internet so let me get back to you in a week or so.
Great!

I have 10.71 and don't seem to have that pixelate. Thoughts?
Go to "Effects" and then "All Video & Audio" then type "pix" at the bottom right corner, and it should show up. It's a different looking icon now though, but it's there.
Yes: Very cool and helpful - Thanks ☮️ • Cheers from the Detroit & Mackinac Railway 🚂
Still figuring out how to "fine tune" it a bit. I'll probably make another more in debt one later down the road.
This doesn't work on version 10.5 , correct? Dropped a like thanks for the vid bro
I think you need one of the new macs to use this functionality
Forget the tracking how did you reduce the size of the track without moving the mouse 🔥🔥🔥
Can do it with keyboard short cuts, Command-Plus Sign (+) or (-), or if you have a MacBook Pro you can do gestures (pinch). "Double-tap (two-finger): Double-tap with two fingers to zoom the timeline so that all the clips fill the visible part of the timeline. Swipe (two-finger): Swipe with two fingers to scroll left, right, up, or down in the timeline."
I don't think this works for 10.6.8
I Don't have pixelate as an option
What Version of Final Cut are you on? What Mac. A lot of this functionality is only for the M1 or newer Macs
@@ET_Videos I have the brand new m2 pro 14”
Pixelate seems a lot more efficient than what I’m using with Gaussian
@@ChefDonsWorld So when you search it doesn't show up? "pixellate" bottom right corner Effects>All> Search
Hellllppp me please my effect does not do that when I put it over the frame
Do you have an "M1" or greater Mac? I think this effect requires at least an M1 powered Mac.
I need to figure out how to do this in iMovie
I have a tutorial on it. ua-cam.com/video/lPn3Vc15FJ8/v-deo.html
How do I find that ? When I search it doesn’t pop up
What kinda of Mac do you have an what version of FCP are you on?
Top left corner Apple menu, about this Mac. Then when in Final Cut. Top left corner should have about final cut or something an it show the version
cool stuff man. I see you have 10.6, are you using a different Apple Computer M1? I have iMac and I haven't received the new update on FCPX.
Yeah, I just got one of those fancy new 16" MBP M1 Max's. I had been on my Mac mini for years waiting and saving for something like this. Though I was hoping for a Super MacMini or something, which would have been easier on the wallet.
@@ET_Videos ah ok. so what is the M1 all about? how much difference is it than the regular iMac, etc.
