NOTE: This technique works for any effect – including Broadcast Safe. ALL the clips under the Adjustment Layer effect now inherit the Black & White effect. When I drop it on top of the Adjustment Layer effect…
Now – and this is the magical part – add any effect to the Adjustment Layer and it automatically applies to all the clips under it!įor example, here’s the Black & White effect. Because there are no timed elements in this effect, we can stretch it to whatever duration we need. Here’s a stack of three clips in the Timeline…ĭrag the Adjustment Layer effect from the Titles Browser and put it on TOP of all three clips.Īdjust the length of the Adjustment Layer clip to run whatever duration you need. The Adjustment Layer effect is visible in the icons on the right, generally near the top. Open the Titles browser and select the Larry category. That way, it refreshes the list of templates available in each browser. So, if FCP is running, I generally quit Final Cut and restart it. I’ve found, when I create new templates, that FCP does not always know something new has been created. I like being obvious with my effect names so I can remember what it does. You can create a new category from within the Category menu. Here, I’m using “Adjustment Layer” and storing it in a custom category named “Larry.” You can name this effect anything and store it in any category you prefer. This is the only change you need to make.Ĭhoose File > Save As, then give the effect a name. If the Layers panel is hidden, open it (shortcut: F5), select the “Type Text Here” layer and delete it. Motion opens, displaying the standard title creation template. (This step is really important because it allows the effect we are creating in Motion to work in Final Cut!) Select the Final Cut Title project option. Motion always works at the highest image quality, essentially ProRes 4444 with an alpha channel. NOTE: The Preset menu simply sets the frame size, not image quality.

(You can always change the duration of this effect in Final Cut Pro when you apply the effect without any loss of video quality.) Open Motion and set the Motion presets to match your typical video project for frame size, frame rate and effect duration. These were first introduced by Adobe years and years ago in Photoshop then expanded into Premiere around the Creative Cloud release.įinal Cut Pro doesn’t have them, however you can create your own using Motion. An “adjustment layer” is a video object on a higher layer in the timeline which, when an effect is placed into it, affects all the clips below it.
