WOW!!! That was EPIIIIIIIC Ben!!! I was literally YELLING with amazement with the customizing of colors, reducing the screen to make the lines, the key frames, the attached objects, the motion blurs, etc... and the TRACKING... yes, I still need to go back and watch your videos on THAT! Then a loved asked me why I was yelling, and didn't understand why I was so impressed by "lines going across a screen"... they are now requesting that you make a dinosaur eat a car... 🙄
@@FromClaphamJunction Huge fan, for sure! I was thinking about who my top five Final Cut Pro X instructors of all time are... I can't actually "rank" them because their styles and approaches are all unique along with what they teach, but Ben is 100% in the top 5 of all time!!!
Dito Really great tutorial.... I can see many possibilities with this... Just have to watch a few more times & practice to get all the OPTIONS !!! Thank you for your continued dedication to teaching FCPx....
@@BenjaminHalsall Thanks Ben!!! Much appreciated. Thank you for checking it out. As you can probably tell, I had a ball with writing that song and making the video.
Very helpful video, thank you! Question... is it possible on FCP to create a circle path being animated? I'm trying to get an arrow to go around a circle, too.
Absolutely Yes, It was really useful I did have na idea about cropping the solids and keyframing But what I didn't know was about Tracking.... I used to think that I have to do title keyframing frame by frame, I learned where and how to find tracker & also never knew how to bring up the icon tools to make my texts intersting, thanks Ben As Always... You're the best
@@BenjaminHalsall Well opportunities reminds me.... Do you have any work openings opportunities..... By any chance. I have been following you up for a while and I must say I have learnt a lot from your videos.
Nice tutorial, Ben! Plus, really good point about when analyzing movement for a tracker, to have no other media visible beyond what you are trying to track.
@@BenjaminHalsall Most certainly will Ben! Might take me a few tries to "figure it out" (gonna try bending the grid or making it slant with the distortion tool(?)) but I'll definitely share the results!!! 😊
Thanks Ben for a really useful video. I love the way you explain things and your graphics on screen with the short cut keys. When I watch your videos I learn a lot more than just the particular tip or trick you are explaining
Hello Ben, this is great, thanks, i did't know about the cntrl option and spacebar shortcut. I try your tutorial and it works, thanks greetings from Belgium
Hi Ben. Great Tutorial. Just one query. When I made the composite file and then went to transform the Transform/Tracker controls didn't appear. What do I need to do? Cheers
Super Leeds!!! Do you mean the compound clip? You'd need to double click into there. Actually I didn't test re-doing the track within the compound clip so you may need to bring them back to the main timeline to activate it.
I have a really stupid question. Long time sub, fcp 9 fan. I would really like to make a 10 hour stream of my poorly played game streams. How would you export that to UA-cam?
I would definitely try to export that locally then upload to UA-cam separately. I've not tried to export something that long for a while. Do you have overlaid effects on the video?
There are two ways you could do this. 1. Create a Library of animated sequences & stock footage that you use and re-use in you work .... and 2. Export a video version of this with transparency. I show how to create exportable items with transparency here in this video - ua-cam.com/video/o-l1mc9YEro/v-deo.html - which I think you may have watched so I am just noting it here for others.
I learned so much from this! Opened a whole new world of motion. Everything worked beautifully until I tried to attach my title /shape to the line. I was never able to get the Tracker box to appear after I did the compound clip. Any ideas what I did wrong?
I have a question about the Collar Board. While I was following your tutorial of changing the colour on the Compound Clip Shape, the colour I want to change (for example the purple 12:45) didn't change the colour at all. I might miss something?
Yes, sometimes it can be tricky. A couple of things I'd check here... Is your layer selected? Is the playhead positioned over it? What is the original colour of your line... if it is black then the colour board may do very little. If you can share a screen recording of where you are stuck showing your timeline and the colour board perhaps I can help.
@@BenjaminHalsall Hi Ben, Thank you for your quick response! For your question The Layer Selected? Yes, both of them and I tried them individually and change them on the "Colour Inspector" The Playhead Positioned over it? Yes, I nested "Basic Title" on the "Compound Clip" The Orginal Colour of the line? When I drag and drop the Solids Background. It is on Black by default The Basic Title is on white by default. Here is the link to what I did on the animation line. ua-cam.com/video/gQN5HJVLoho/v-deo.html P.S is there any way to change the position of the animated line like in a vertical? For example, creating a triangle animation? Thank you very much for your response and I learn a lot when I tried the first video editing! Best regards, June

Lover your enthusism, I felt the same. Ben is just amazing
@@FromClaphamJunction One hundred percent agreed! Ben is just amazing indeed! Or as I typically say, AH-MAY-ZING!!!

This awesome,,,,thank you fo sharing
You are most welcome.
Brilliant. I had no idea I could do this without going into Motion. You have opened my eyes to something very useful.
Glad you found this useful Brian! Thanks for watching!
This is a remarkably useful tutorial. I can think of lots of times when these techniques will be really useful. Very many thanks.
Really happy you found it helpful.

Yes! The new tracker that is built-in to FCP is fantastic. It opens up a lot of very cool creative opportunities.
@@BenjaminHalsall Well opportunities reminds me.... Do you have any work openings opportunities..... By any chance.
I have been following you up for a while and I must say I have learnt a lot from your videos.
@@visionbyumang thanks for following. No I don't have any opportunities or openings at the moment.
@@BenjaminHalsall An Internship wouldn't be bad either, Just incase 😁.
Again great tutorial, very useful - Thank you very much!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Reminds of Tron! Awesome explanation !
Glad you liked it! Also, you may also enjoy this video if you are into creating animations in Final Cut Pro - ua-cam.com/video/zlTi52RmCAo/v-deo.html
@@BenjaminHalsall will check out, many thanks
Dag... gotta up my game, for sure!!!
This is a cool way of making those animated arrows for sure!
Nice tutorial, Ben! Plus, really good point about when analyzing movement for a tracker, to have no other media visible beyond what you are trying to track.
Thanks for the kind words.
Oh my GOODNESS... you could TOTALLY make one of those synthwave outrun grids with THIS!!! 😳
Gonna try it... here goes SOMETHING!!!
Please share a link when you have made this! That would be awesome!

For those who don't get the choice to use tracking, for me I had to update final cut pro as my version didn't have to tracking option yet.

Awesome vid and great use of the new tracking tool. How can we save this so it’s always ready for all projects?

For your question
The Layer Selected?
Yes, both of them and I tried them individually and change them on the "Colour Inspector"
The Playhead Positioned over it?
Yes, I nested "Basic Title" on the "Compound Clip"
The Orginal Colour of the line?
When I drag and drop the Solids Background. It is on Black by default
The Basic Title is on white by default.
Here is the link to what I did on the animation line.
