this video we're going to see how we can create this effect in Final Cut Pro 10
without any plugins required
hey everybody welcome to my channel for those of you who are watching me for
your first time here I'm Emilio Takas and I post videos here on tutorials
filmmaking tips gear reviews and much more so if you're into this kind of
stuff consider subscribe to my channel and
also ring the notification bell to receive notifications every time I post
a new video let's go now into Final Cut Pro 10 to see how we can create this map
zoom effect without any plugins required the first step for this effect is to
download and open the Google Earth up and you will see this interface and on
the top left we will go and search for the place that we want the map zoom
effect to take place for example let's say that we want to go to acropolis of
athens we search for it and as you can see we're zooming into acropolis perfect
now you see here that we have this a and we don't want any of these pins to be
when we will record this zoom effect from Google Earth what we're gonna do is
to click on history we're gonna zoom out to where we're on our starting point be
you
and now we're going to open the screen recording up of our preference I'm using
QuickTime so I can show you right now how I create a new screen code but in
general you go to file new screen record and from there you can select a portion
or you can select the record the whole screen for now we're gonna use the whole
screen and we go to the Google Earth up and we'll double clicking on the place
of the history and this is the first step that it's gonna give us the food
ads for the map zoom effect for the video I have used this basketball course
here so again we're zooming out so you can see how I created this exactly
effect we're recording our screen and I'm double clicking on the place that I
have saved and there we go we have our first footage I'm reminding you that in
order to save a place here you can click on add place mark you will give it a
name and you click OK so you have this place here also if you
want to have it also if you want to have it turned around or more to the left
right or you want to be rotated and you will see why we want to change that on
the combination with the drum foods that we will do later on on Final Cut Pro
these are the tools on the top right that you can adjust it to exactly the
same screen that you want to be continuing with the drone so now we are
in the Final Cut Pro 10 in the face and I have placed the screen called foods
here and the first thing that we want to do is to crop the
foods to be on the full screen so we select the foods with the left click we
click here on crop we select crop and we select the portion that we want
the full screen to take place we click done and there we go now the next thing
that we want to do is to click in the effects panel and we're gonna type zoom
we're gonna drag the zoom put it on the video and we go into the effects panel
we're gonna add here to add the save mask we want to be here in the center we
adjust the size of the save mask and we click again here and click on vertex so
we can have the blurred section outside the middle which is gonna be the main
focus area now we select again the clip and in the beginning of the clip we're
gonna set the amount to zero we're gonna add a keyframe and we're gonna move one
two three four five six seven eight nine ten and ten more and we're gonna drag
the amount from zero to thirty two so we're gonna have the blurred as we go
into the point of interest the next thing to make it more realistic
is to add some clouds in the video I have placed a link to the file that I
used for this tutorial but you can use whichever file of clouds you want to use
just a member that we're placing the file and we make sure that the blend
mode is going to be to add and also you can lower the opacity a little bit and
there you have it this is the first section of this tutorial it's the map
zoom effect you can use only this to do that effect but today we're taking a
little bit further and we're adding a real-time drone video that it's
gonna be combined with this green soda so I went to this exact place with my
friend they meet with delicious cinematographer here from Greece and
with the help of his drone we sat food ads coming from this spot
into me talking so we're placing this foods right now now the first thing that
we want to do with the real world food ads is to select the first clip press
command-c and then go select the drone food ads go to edit paste attributes and
we're gonna paste the zoom effect but we're gonna make it exact the opposite
so we go into the beginning of the clip we will change the amount 32 and we will
go a little bit on the right let's say here and we're gonna set the amount to
zero so we're gonna have the exact blur effect coming from the sky and
decreasing as we go closer to our subject for the final touch we're gonna
go into the transitions and we're gonna select cross dissolve and with the left
click we're gonna make the transition a little bit faster now we're adding some
sound effects for the winds and the Woo's for the transition etc etc and the
final result is gonna be something like this I hope you like this video and if
