Make your photos move with Final Cut Pro
How to bring your boring old static photos to life by adding a dynamic 3D camera effect to them
The 3D photo effect is a new trend that’s popular on social media sites. This involves adding a camera move to a photo. As the camera tracks forward, the foreground and background move at different speeds, creating a sense of 3D depth. Before adding a 3D effect to a photo in Final Cut Pro, you need to use a third-party app to select a photo’s foreground, midground and background so you can turn them into three layers. We’ll talk about creating the layered file in Photoshop so you can prepare your own photos, but we’ve also provided you with a layered Photoshop document so you can dive in and create the 3D photo effect.
