How to add handwritten text/drawings to your videos with Final Cut Pro for iPad using Live Drawing

Hi! I've been adding lil doodles and writings on my tiktoks with this feature since it came out, so I figured I'd do a tutorial to show how easy it is.
So here is my how to add writing, doodles, drawings, written text, and annotations on your videos using Final Cut Pro for iPad using the Live Drawing feature
You're gonna need a FCP subscription and an iPad + Apple Pencil (not all ipads get FCP tho fyi)
Its really fun to do! And just makes ur video a lil more personal and interesting. At least i think so!

Very interesting, didn’t know Apple had integrated the drawing tool right into FCP. It’s not in iMovie or Clips. Thanks for making this!

[@rodriguezsarah]

How did u record your iPad and your self in the same time

[@rodriguezsarah]

you can screen record on the ipad (and even record your voice too!)
so i just screen recorded what i was doing and recorded my self on my other camera with my external rode go II mic, then just synced up the videos when i edit in final cut pro :)
hope that helps! lmk if you have any other questions!!!

[@amyshannonn]

Would this sync to Final Cut on your laptop?

[@rodriguezsarah]

yes, you can export the final cut file and air drop it to your laptop. you just wont be able to change the live drawing/or the speed i think. but you can def move them around easier. 🤗

[@kinocchio]

can you do this in luma fusion?

[@rodriguezsarah]

I’m not sure! I haven’t used Luma Fusion before 😅

[@jamesustby]

How do I make a video like this? Phone left and iPad on right

[@rodriguezsarah]

I made the overlay in canva, but i just used the transform tool in final cut pro and dragged+resized them where i wanted. Hope that helps! :)

[@Carlosphoenixlive]

What do you use for the voice over?

[@rodriguezsarah]

Elgato wave mic! ✨
