Creative Final Cut Pro
Learn how to use Special Effects in Final Cut Pro
Creatively combine layered clips using both split screen and green screen effects
Final Cut Pro has all the post-production tools you need to turn one person into twins or even triplets. By using a split screen effect you can have two versions of the same person on screen at the same time. The Keyer effect enables you to remove a green (or blue) backdrop to reveal a third version of the same person on the layer below. By animating the split screen’s mask you can make one person appear to pass an object (such as a pack of cards) to their duplicate which makes them interact. As a finishing touch we’ll show you how to give the locked-off composite footage a handheld look.
