Hey guys, whats up, this is Serge,
and welcome back to my channel.
Today, I’ll show you how to make
this cool title effect seen in this clip.
Down in my timeline,
I have my background music track,
with the beats marked
so we can time the on screen action to the music.
First thing we need do is add our first image into our timeline,
and resize it to fill the frame.
This is the image thats going to be inside the text,
instead of just a plain color.
Next, add a basic title,
select a nice big font,
and resize it to fill up the frame.
To place the background image inside the text,
in the video inspector,
from the blend modes dropdown menu,
select Stencil Alpha.
To make the text appear one word at a time,
open the effects browser,
and add a draw mask to the clip.
Add control points around the first word.
Next, lets set our playhead on the first marker,
and go back one frame by pressing the left arrow key.
Add a keyframe to the mask control points.
Move the playhead ahead one frame,
and click and drag the bottom of the mask down.
If your text moves, instead of the mask,
press P on your keyboard to switch to the position tool.
Now click and drag the bottom of your mask down
to reveal the second word.
Do the same thing on your next marker
to reveal the last word.
Lets move onto the second part.
Add your image,
resize it,
and place a title over it,
once again picking a nice big font,
and resizing the title to fill the frame.
Change the color of this font
to something other than black or white.
I’ll use orange for this example.
Now, with the title selected,
in the video inspector,
from the blend mode dropdown menu,
select Difference.
Your font color will change to the difference
in the pixel colors of your two layers.
To add the screen pump effect,
set your playhead on the first frame of the clip,
and set the transform scale to 110 percent.
Set a keyframe here.
Move the playhead two frames ahead,
and bring the scale back down to 100 percent.
Next, move your playhead to the next marker,
and go back two frames.
Add a keyframe to the scale slider.
Move two frames ahead,
and bring the scale up to 100 percent.
Move two more frames ahead,
and bring the scale back down.
And for the last part of this clip,
lets combine both these effects.
First, add your video or image,
and place a title over it.
Select the font, and resize your title.
Leave the color as white for this one.
Next, add a mask,
and keyframe and time it to the song beat.
Change the blend mode for this clip to exclusion.
And finally, to add this little flicker at the end,
Option drag up your title to duplicate it,
ripple trim the start to the last keyframe,
and make it about 10 frames long.
Last thing we need to do is set the blend mode
back to normal for this clip,
and let the project render out.
Lets take a look at our finished product.
These are just a few of many cool,
unique effects you can do in Final Cut Pro,
to make your boring titles stand out.
Play around, and try a few different blend modes,
to see what kind of looks you can accomplish.
And if you want to learn more about blend modes and titles,

or if you can’t see it,
I’ll link it in the video description.
Thanks for watching, and I’ll see you next week.
