Motion | Match Move

By

0

Motion is an app developed by Apple Inc. and commonly used with Final Cut Pro. Behaviors are applied to objects in Motion to create animation. One of the behaviors is called Match Move. Match Move analyzes movement of a source to create movement data. That data is then applied to an object to create animation.

Final Cut Pro Glossary

While skimming a project, have you noticed the skimmer doesn’t move smoothly across clips? This happens when Snapping is enabled because the skimmer is jumping or snapping to the various edits. Press the N key on the keyboard to enable or disable snapping.

Final Cut Pro Glossary

While editing with Final Cut, you have likely seen the terms Library, Event, Clip, and Project. They are generic terms but in Final Cut, they each refer to something specific. The terms create a hierarchy. At the top, represented by the icon with 4 stars, is a Final Cut Library. Each Library contains at least 1 event. The Event contains Clips and Projects. Media, including Video, Photos, Music, and Audio are all represented as clips in Final Cut. You, as the editor, are going to make choices on how those clips are mixed on a timeline. That timeline, is a project and, like clips, you can have multiple projects saved in an Event. Watch this video to better understand what a project is.

Final Cut Pro Glossary


Drop Frame Timecode is listed as Hours:Minutes:Seconds;Frames Example: 01:05:20;13 = One hour, five minutes, twenty seconds, and thirteen frames When viewing timecode in Final Cut Pro, the ; (semicolon) before the frame number is an indication of drop frame timecode. One standard of timecode is NTSC which matches the real world clock by dropping 2 frame numbers from each minute (except every 10th minute). And, it is important to note that drop frame timecode numbers are skipped, not the actual frames.

Use the Final Cut Pro Share menu and the Roles tab to create media stems by exporting groups of clips based on their assigned role . These groups of video and audio files are media stems and usually shared separately for tasks such as audio mixing or special effects.

Split Screen

There are plug-ins and other to create a split screen effect. I prefer to spend the money on things and use the include tools in Final Cut Pro to create split screens.

  1. Create a project using Command-N
  2. Add a clip to the primary storyline
  3. Shift-T to activate the Transform tool
  4. Position the clip in the viewer
  5. Add an additional clip by connecting it to the first
  6. Position the clip using the Transform tool
  7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 until all desired clips are added
  8. To use a clip as a background, add it below the others

This tutorial provides a step by step walk through you can use to create a split screen effect using Final Cut Pro X. The beginning includes an overview of the effect followed by the creation of a project. Stack the clips on the timeline and apply a crop. Transform the clips to position them where in the viewer. If needed, adjust the scale to size each clip. Fill in the empty (black) areas by adding a background. With the split screen effect created, use keyframes to take it to the next level with animation. Move keyframes to change the animation including how quickly it happens using the Video Animation Editor.
