plugins for final cut pro are keep getting crazier
and crazier and crazier and i don't know where it's gonna end
in this video we're gonna take a look at the fcpx camera from pixel film studios
a plugin that allows you to create different effects very unique effects that can mimic camera
effects and camera tools let me explain with this plugin you get effects like camera movements
viewfinder interfaces camera ISO and grain shutter angle tools camera filters like the halation
diffusion tool focus tools camera lens tools shake tools zoom tools and this is just a small portion
of what you can get before we begin on how you can use it inside final cut pro let me tell you
that you will find a link in the description of this video down below where you can get it and if
you use the coupon code emiliopixel you will get a discount i'm not telling you how much click it
"emiliopixel" and you will find out keep in mind that this is an affiliate link which means that if
you make the purchase from this link you support this channel i'm emilio welcome to my channel
and let's dive inside final cut pro as soon as you download and install the effect you will see
that on the titles you find a lot of different adjustment layers which contain the effects for
example we can see that first of all we have basic movement tools and this is the 3d camera tool
the 3d camera tool framing and the camera path tool let's see exactly what do they do for this
example i will have a footage of people talking to each other and i'm gonna go to the basic movement
tools and grab the camera path tool i'm gonna bring it on top adjust the size now i will go
into the inspector panel on the right and remember that in all of these adjustment layer effects you
have all of different parameters and options that you can use in the inspector panel on the right
and you can adjust the settings and have different results remember that because i'm not gonna go
into too much details into all of the different effects for this example we're gonna set the start
and the end point it is as easy as that so for the start position i will go here i will select the
x axis let's say i'm going to start from here the z which controls a little bit of the zoom
and the y for the movement speed i have the option to go with linear easing ease out is both that
means that it controls how smooth it's going to be the transition from point one to point two so easy
as you can see i'm going from the one position to the other so let's go and control the end position
the x axis the y let's zoom in a little bit more
you see here that if i go to the right i see a little bit of mirroring so i can control this
with a few clicks as you saw now we go again
let me disable the coordinates and the path and here we go
path 1 to path 2. i will give one more example on these basic movement tools because the 3d
camera tool that i'm going to drag right now and place it here create something very unique
especially for drone shots so what we can do is to set the start position and the end position let me
show you how we do it i'm gonna go here select the start frame i'm at the beginning of the frame and
i'm gonna make a little bit of zoom so i can start and then i will go here i'm gonna go to end point
zoom remember that you can control of the all of these actions from the on-screen buttons as well
and on the position i can go to the y
and then you click on view results
pretty amazing right then we have the camera settings the film grain the eyes adjuster for
example let's take all the iso tool from here you can see that i can go to the inspector panel
again on the right and make iso adjustments and of course noisiness and the noise bleeding
and also if i want to add the film grain to i place it on top i go here on the right in the
inspector panel and i see that i have a lot of different film stock options like the fuji the
kodak and i can select let's say for example the tri-x 400 with soft light and opacity you see
a very nice and cool film grain the frame rate where you can adjust the frame rates to create
trail effects for example this is how the video looks right now with a normal frame rate of 25
frames per second i know 25 not 24 where in europe pal not ntsc and let's check this out how it looks
when we reduce the frame rate this is how it looks with this effect on
nice then we have the shutter speed the sp shutter speed echo and the shutter speed trails where we
can do the trails see the examples here how it looks with the balls then we have the filter
tools on the filter tools we have the color filter the color filter with the solid color
or with three colors graduated filter halasian diffusion and let's go and check the halation
we can also have prism filter with different parameters like the parallels that we're gonna use
the starburst effect and also the streak effect the streak effect is a very good effect where
we can mimic the anamorphic look check this out you see now the lights we have the lens flares of
anamorphic i'm gonna take the strike effect place it on top and you see that i have the anamorphic
lens flares already on my footage i can select the highlight color the color brightness
how much bright i want to be the shadow darkness as you see here the contrast and all of the
different options so this is with a strike effect disabling it this is without the starburst effects
we can control the density the exposure as you can see here a lot of stars going on
then we move on to the focus shifting tool here we can rack focus or symbol or we can make it with a
mask and of course we can do the gradual focus on the focus shifting tool let's take a look on
the rack focus with a mask i'm gonna bring this on top of the clip and then i will go into the
inspector panel and the first thing that i want to do is to create a mask around my subject and then
we can select the feathering how much feather we want for the mask okay pretty cool let's say here
we can set the animation duration how many seconds we want let's take it to 2.5
the focus shift speed the start blur amount and the end blur amount how much blur we want
the game the boca type where we can change the bokeh and let's test it out to see
simply as that you create rack focuses and then we go to the focus tools now on
the focus tools we have some special things going on here like the custom bokeh tool the
defocus blur the directional blur also we have the split diopter tool something very
interesting and we move forward and we go to the lens tools now on the lens tools we have
chromatic aberration we always want something like that curvilinear lens tool the fisheye
correction especially for footage from action cameras where we have the fisheye and we want
to correct it or maybe we want to place the vignettes of the fish eye lens and dirt and dust
where we can mimic that our lens is getting dirty rgb distortion let's check this out
let's go back and the tilt shift tool then we have the shake tools we can have a camera bump
we can have a damaged film or we can have a random shake i don't know if you remember have
created how would you create a camera shake the camera bump in final cut pro without any plugins
this is a procedure that it's easy enough but even more easy is to have a plugin that's with
three four clicks you can get the effects right on and get going with your editing then we have
the few finder interfaces where we can select from dslr viewfinder film camera focus picking display
this is something that it's new and keep in mind here that the plugins from pixel frame studios
get very often upgrades and updates so you can buy let's say a pack for runtime and then you
get lifetime upgrades whenever something new comes for this plugin and then we have the
zoom tools zoom in zoom out zoom in and out you know different special things for the zoom meme
that i believe there is also a dedicated zoom in plugin for final cut pro from pixel film
but as you can see the fcpx camera have all of the different effects and all of the different
capabilities that you can have from a plugin combined into one pack pixel fill studios have
a dedicated youtube channel where they teach final cut pro with a lot of different tutorials
you'll find a link in the description is very down below for the youtube channel as
