Re: FX9 in FCP6

Hi,

I don't think there is a full blown manual on use of FX in FCP however I'll see if I can assist you in creating the effect that you are struggling to understand.

• apply Boris FX to the background video clip in the FCP timeline
• double click the video track to which you have applied the effect to being it into the source monitor
• click on the FX banner to enter the FX user interface
• select Filter:Motion:Corner Pin Tracker
• on the Corner Pin Filter, click on the video monitor icon on the track to open the motion tracker setup window
• with the timeline marker at frame 0, position the targets so that they are over the motion that you want to capture
• In the Controls Window, click on the green target button to analyze the motion of the clip
• close the motion tracker setup window
• set the media that you want to pin onto the background by clicking on the media icon on the corner pin tracker layer in the timeline
• drag through the timeline and you should have the pinned effect
• if you need to make adjustments to the recovered motion, you can reopen the motion tracker setup window at any time by clicking on the tv monitor icon on the filter layer

I hope this helps.

Peter.
