Film Making Masterclass with Final Cut Pro X


LACPUG was very happy to have Larry Jordan back after much too long a time. Larry showed tricks you can do with Motion that don¹t require any design skills. Plus, he showed how to use Motion projects in Avid, Premiere and Final Cut. Learn once - use everywhere!

NOTE: Larry often speaks about the dark screen due to LACPUG's projector having a burned out second bulb. We don't have this problem as we have digitally captured straight from the computer.

Hosted by Michael Horton.
In Collaboration with Surf Theater Productions

This documentary features exclusive interviews with the creative professionals who use the software and the developers who created it. Why did Apple make Final Cut Pro X?

Working with LUTs (Look Up Tables) is popular and many apps and plugins support them. In most apps LUTs can only be applied one after the other. Since most LUTs are optimized to be applied to unmodified footage, it commonly happens that any LUT applied after the first one will not deliver the desired results since it is not applied to the original image but to one already altered by the first LUT.

When you use LUT Mixer all LUTs can be increased up to a maximum intensity of 150%. In addition 2 of the 5 possible LUTs can be applied negatively. Therefore a LUT which warms up the image can also be used to cool down the look or an individual saturation LUT can also be used to desaturate the image. Skin tones have an important role in color grading, therefore we have dedicated a section to the skin tones to protect them from the tint of the LUTs and to adjust them separately if necessary.

Parallel Summing or Calculating the Average
For every loaded LUT a selection switch can be used to determine whether it will be summed or applied as an average. All LUTs with their selection switch set to the sum icon will be added up. Color shifts towards the same direction will add up while differing LUTs shifting the same color in opposite directions will mutually weaken that color.

Averaging-option Protects Against Overreaching
If several similar LUTs are loaded, summing them can result in colors that are too intense. The option “averaging” makes sure that you don’t have to adjust all LUTs if you adjust the intensity of one single LUT. When in averaging-mode, the intensity of all LUTs is not adjusted in absolutes. Their ratio is being calculated and then normalized to 100%. Therefore the cumulative intensity within the averaging group plays no role anymore.
 
Continued from previous post....


Since this mode also normalizes very low values to 100% the averaging-group has a separate master control.

Features
Protection of skin tones from the influence of LUTs
Subsequently restoring and adjusting skin tones
Increase LUTs up to a maximum level of 150%
Applying LUTs negatively instead of only positively
Intuitive mixing of LUTs
Simple adjustment of professional looks
Standardized average calculation automatically adjusts the total intensity
Suitable for LUT-systems (separate LUTs for colorings and contrasts)

FINAL CUT PRO: How To change storage/drive location to external drive!


BY tbonepearson








My hard drive kept filling up and I had forgotten how to manage my storage/drives in Final cut pro. I figured it out so I thought I'd do a quick video on how to change the drive to an external one so I can keep editing. Found myself an external hard drive with space and it worked perfectly.You can also change the location of render files with this technique too. How to: Move a Final Cut Pro X library
