one of the biggest problems final cut pro has is that when you make adjustments with keyframes
in scaling and position you don't have a lot of options to change how smooth these adjustments and
these transitions are on this video we're going to take a look on one of the game changer plugins
for motion movements the ad motion from fx factory welcome back to my channel i'm emilio and i post
here videos on tutorials filmmaking tips gear reviews and so much more so if you're into this
kind of stuff consider subscribing to the channel and also ring the notification bell to receive
notifications every time i post a new video with admotion plugin which you will find in the
description of zero down below and if you use the coupon code emilio you will get 10 percent off and
by the way thanks to fx factory for supporting my channel you can add motion to either your footage
so you can have fake movements but also you can add motion to text and different images or logos
and you will see all of these categories later on on this video enough with the talking and let's
go into final cut pro we're in the final cut pro interface and uh we're gonna cover three different
scenarios where we can use the add motion plugin we're gonna see how we can use it in our footage
so we can create motion to zoom in zoom out zoom to a specific point and what are the advantages
of it against the keyframe method inside funnel card and also we're gonna see how we can use
it for text images and other elements now to begin just keep in mind that when you download
out motion you're gonna find it for the effects version and also with the titles version and we're
gonna see later on how we can use them now for the first example i want to show you something that
probably a lot of you have already noticed when you're trying to zoom in in a specific point in
final cut pro so let's say that we want to go from here to zoom in to the head even that it's also
a line it's not in a different set on the screen and you're gonna understand what i'm saying the
usual method that we're gonna do is let's say from here we want to add a keyframe to scale all into
the inspector panel and a keyframe to position and let's say from here we want here to zoom in
and also we want we're going to click here
to have the position here on the head we're going to click done and what you will see is that you
see that it wasn't a perfect line when it's zoomed into the head you see that it's doing something
like ooh and you go to the head how you can solve this in final cut you can click on ctrl v you will
go here to show the vid animation you will go here to transform you're gonna click in position
and right click here to do linear instead of smooth and you're gonna see that
it's going into a straight line however final cut pro doesn't give us a lot of possibilities
to change how smooth and the time between the transition of the keyframes is and that's exactly
where add motion comes very handy let me show you an example here let's track again this clip
here now as you can see here i can either use it inside the clip and add the add motion here and
you will see it in the inspector panel or i can use it on the favorite way that i like to use
effects with adjustment layers and if you don't have adjustment layers you will see that inside
the add motion folder you see adjustment layer as well so let's go to the same point let's say
that we want here to have the effect i'm dragging the adjustment layer i'm adding the add motion in
the beginning you see that it's a little bit on the left and the reason why this is happening
is because a lot of people want to use it like that to change the position so what i do is go
into the inspector panel and first of all change the position to zero so i can have everything
clear here we can see that we have an a to b move so you can set if you want a to b b to a a bump
different movements where you want to go into the footage with the transition in the movement
from here you can say the a position and of course you can set the b position so let's say that you
want to scale it and you want the b position to be in the head let's scale it a little bit more
as you can see no keyframes and here we're adjusting the
x and y axis no keyframes easy as that and as you can see let's play from the beginning
you saw that we have the transition something like the linear now what we can do here what makes the
add motion plugin a little bit more special as you can see here i can change the duration so i can
make it 0.5 to make it even faster so it's going to be like this or i can change the duration to
let's say three seconds and i can make it smoother or i can change the transition to let's say
let's place it to 10 seconds you're gonna see the difference now
but as you can see this is not the only thing because we can change on the keyframes when the
normal method with final cut how we can have the time of the transition where we want the start
and end point so let's set it to five and let's see here the takeoff we can change the takeoff
to expo for example and the ladding to expo and now you're gonna see that he's doing that
so you can change how the transition of the movement is gonna be on the takeoff and how easy
linear or any other adjustment that we want to the end so check this out for example if we go to ease
it's more smooth the expo is the most smooth and also the landing we can do
also effects like bounce for example you're gonna see
he did that bounce effect so you can experiment and see different ways of adding motion to zoom in
to your frames but also have other possibilities for your creations that you didn't have
from the first place in final cut pro before we continue on how we can use the app motion
plugin with text images or objects i want to say for a very good video that jesse driftwood
created you will see a link that is popping right now here or in the description as well down below
to explain you more the process and also some other ways that you can
use movements without motion and create for example transitions let's continue
now what we can do with add motion and elements like a logo let's go into solids and bring a
on the background i will select these to be bright white and let's bring a logo on top of it okay
now remember whenever you have a logo or a text in order for you to be able to work on the zooms
without having any cuts on the right left top or bottom because the image has a specific size as
you can see it's for example on the size that it's going to be cut what we have to do is to select
this right click and create a new compound clip so when you compound the clip you can have all
the adjustments on the size and on the movement without cropping on any edge of the image so we
will go here we will drag the add motion and place it here and as you can see for example
we can drag this from the left as you can see here
and we can bring the logo from left to right also if you see here again i can change how linear or
more smooth i want and also the duration for example if i lower the duration
i can break it faster and also if i go here and change the rotation for example i can go to
the a rotation set it to 360 and you're gonna see that it's rolling for example or 180 degrees
you can you know play without be creative but also this is with add motion if you see on the effects
you will see the pop for example if we drag the pop right now you will see that boop it's
creating a scale animation so this is something that you can use for images this is something
that you can use with text as well or for example the swing effect and that you will see that it's
also doing this swing that you can change all the adjustments for example you can set it to paul and
you can change the duration also for the pope you can change if you want to be reversed so this is
very handy when you want to create animations make images pop up in your videos create messages like
subscribe or anything for your channel if you're a youtuber and lastly let's check the text if you
remember in the beginning i told you that when you install the app motion you get the effects
version and also you get the titles version where is on the title so we will go here in the titles
we're gonna drag the add motion text place it here again i will go and change the position to zero
and as you can see here on the text i will go to the bottom and you see now the inspector panel
that we can make it 3d text if we want we can change the environment we can change the substance
and here we are going to change the color so let's make it black okay let's go now to the text and
let's write something subscribe and if you haven't subscribed to the channel yet by the way
subscribe thank you and let's continue here and see what we can do now with the movement
we can set again a to b now let's go a bump to b to make something different
we can make the scale and you could see that we're having a as you saw or we can change a to b
we go here let's adjust a little bit the scale and also the position let's make it appear from
the left on the side so as you can see boom you have your message coming from the left
and of course as i told you we can go again here into the text version and
also you can change it to 3d text you can create self shadows change the environment
it's an only known plugin for first of all motion but also to create a 3d text to create a
swing with the text to create messages and don't forget to have the ability to create animations
for different objects like images or any other videos if you'd like
and most importantly to have control on how you want the animations and the movements in your
videos so what did you think of this plugin i'm waiting to discuss with you in the comment section
