In todays session we had a go playing around with key framing to get a small animation done.
Using Final Cut Pro in particular the Viewer window you can edit the key frames to change certain settings of an image such as: Scale, Rotation, Center, Anchor Point, Opacity and several other functions.
To get the image ready for using in the first place you must use Photoshop to edit the image so that it has no background by using layers and alphachannels.
Once the image is ready and saved as a photoshop file, it can be imported into Final cut to be used in combination with any images/moving image you may have.
I chose to keep my work simple but amusing and this is what I came up with:
It is a useful tool and I'm sure it will come in handy for creating interesting titles or short animation sequences in the future. It is quite difficult to get the knack of but once you know what you are doing and what you want to achieve it is quite easy to carry out....though often requires lots of waiting around for media to render!
