Adjust built-in effects
Built-in effects overview
Final Cut Pro includes several video effects that are part of each Timeline clip and directly
accessible from the Viewer—all you need to do is select them and start making adjustments. You
can use these to:
•
Create a composited image from several clips
•
Reposition or reframe a clip by zooming in on it
•
Crop a clip to remove unwanted items, such as microphones or lighting equipment, that
accidentally appear in the video
•
Configure a Ken Burns effect to add life to your still images (and video clips as well)
You can use more than one of the built-in effects at the same time. For example, you can use
Transform to reduce the image’s size and position, Trim to remove a portion of the video, and
Distort to give the video a skewed look.
You can animate any of these effects so that they change as the clip plays. For example, you can
have an image shrink and move offscreen. To configure an animation, you change settings at
two or more points in the clip. When you play the clip, Final Cut Pro creates smooth animated
transitions between the points.
