Course Description

I’m excited to announce that my new Quick Dive tutorial is now available!

This tutorial shows you how to build a custom Final Cut Pro X transition from scratch, using Motion.

The training is just over an hour long and contains 16 videos.

We’ll go step-by-step through an actual transition project, covering important concepts along the way, such as:

  • How to make your transition adjustable in the FCPX Inspector
  • How to use Placeholder Layers
  • How to create a 3D environment for the transition
  • How to animate a camera with smooth camera movement
  • How to add reflections

And of course I share other tips and tricks along the way.

Here's an example of what the transition project will look like:
