    Mind blown. I'm editing multi camera 4k concert footage in a 1080 timeline and have been using keyframes to dynamically adjust scale/position on a per shot basis. Of course, it's a lot of work when you want to change the length of the shot or add a transition that will go beyond the key framing. This is about to save me loads of time! THANK YOU!!

    Thank you for this. I've been playing with the idea of trying FCPx for my next project and not being able to ease zoom + pan was something that was limiting me! Aweasome stuff.

    This was exactly what I wanted to do in a video a while back and I just gave up. I'm a fairly light user of FC/M but at some point I have to buy something off you guys to repay your hard work that never ceases to get through to me. Excellent work. Cheers.

    I just had this problem the other day! Thank you so much. I had know idea that scaling didn't have smooth easing like that.
    Seems odd that final cut wouldn't just expose that Z axis, if it's that easy to drop in that property from motion 🤔

    Absolutely brilliant! Thank you Mark. I’m just finishing up a 50 min documentary that is 90% archive photos. Made good use of the Ken Burns effect, and transform as well. But this would have made it so much simpler and less frustrating. BTW, though the effect is aptly named after Ken Burns, it was actually invented by a Canadian filmmaker named Colin Low who created docs for the NFB back in the 50s and 60s. Here’s a quote from his obituary from 2016 “Low received his second Palme d’Or for best short film at Cannes, along with another BAFTA award and Oscar nomination, for his 1957 documentary, City of Gold, on the Klondike Gold Rush. Co-directed with Wolf Koenig, it made innovative use of slow pans and zooms across archival photos, and was cited by Ken Burns as an inspiration for his own widespread use of this technique.” With regards to your effect, I published rotation as well to make it a little more versatile and named it the Colin Low Effect.

  • @ProdigyBowlersTour
    @ProdigyBowlersTour 2 года назад +2

    OMG! You may have just revolutionized how I do the virtual zooms on my youth bowling series, PRODIGY BOWLERS TOUR! Preserving as much resolution as I can this way is huge because I go way past the upper limits of what the resolution allows knowing that many of the show's viewers are watching on their phones anyway, and it holds together surprisingly well there. But this will improve the quality no matter where the viewers are watching. Game changer!

    • @ProdigyBowlersTour
      @ProdigyBowlersTour 2 года назад

      Tried it. Doesn't work for my purposes. The herky-jerky motion of "Smooth" still makes these virtual camera moves fly all over the place when combined with scaling up (which is what my virtual zooms are). The third party plug-in "Add Motion" seems to solve this limitation in FCP. But I was really hoping to achieve something similar while staying "in the (Apple) box." Oh well, I'm sure this enhanced Ken Burns will come in handy for something else. Still, I was already sold on having Motion in my toolbox. I couldn't do what I do without it. And having the help of pros like you and Steve Martin makes it all the more enjoyable and accessible.

  • @thetangierc
    @thetangierc 2 года назад +1

    This is a simple and fantastic solution and it's unfortunate we just don't have this level of control built into FCP at this point. Thanks Mark!

    You are the man my friend! I’ve literally been dying to figure a way to zoom in smoothly in FCPX… one thing that would make a huge difference would be able to control the amount it smoothly zooms at beginning or end of a scale keyframe just like the setting we have on slow motion when we slow a clip….
